Well - we just completed our mental health exam. I was required to take the MMPI and the PAI (combined were just over 900 questions!). We had a great visit with the therapist after and talked about a lot of important and thought provoking things. Some that we had talked a lot about and others that we had not really touched on. It was a long 4 or so hours though that I spent in the same office!
Besides our home visit, it was one of the first things that felt really personal. Up until now it has been a LOT of paperwork - and really only that. I have to admit I have been craving a bit of the personal interaction. The actual discussion vs the hypothetical "when we get there" talks. Maybe that does not make a lot of sense written out like this. But it is a good thing.
The therapist also showed us the typical needles for the meds that are used. The little one I did not mind seeing ... the larger one made me a bit more squeamish. Nothing I cant handle but hopefully my husband won't mind helping me out with those!
I suppose again I don't have much more to update. Hopefully we will start hearing a bit more from the agency soon about the next steps!
