Not even six months.

Apparently a quarter of a billion dollars gains you control of the government for not even six months, lol.

And man.

The fallout between these two turds is absolutely sublime.

Definitely excited to see where we go from here.

Been a rough couple of days, so I guess I'm forced to admit that my body has most definitely gotten used to the Adderall, and I'm back to square one.

...With the exception of the boost of energy I get for a few hours.

I could theoretically ask for a higher dosage, but I think that'd require yet another medical appointment as a follow-up, and I'm not down with that.

Speaking of: Blood pressure has been mostly okay the past few months, so I think I'm gonna send in my logs to the folks at Sentara and see if I can't get that kidney donated.

And I just discovered that the odontogenic keratocyst (big words) I had in my lower jaw also contributes to my disability rating.

Potentially.

Yes, a veteran can receive VA disability benefits for odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs). The VA typically assigns a 10% disability rating for OKCs that required treatment but no longer require continuous treatment. A 30% rating is assigned if the OKCs cause symptoms that cannot be controlled by treatment or lifestyle changes.

So I did have the surgery for it back in November 2021.

The doctor(s) at the time had mentioned that I'd most likely always have a numbness in that area (I do, but nowhere near as significant an area), and to follow up if it came back.

Fast forward to recent history, and the civilian dentists are indeed concerned with it.

Which is... great?

Since... if I can get that 30%, it alone should give me the nudge I need to complete disability per the VA.

Which is mas monies.

Got the appointment to have that one checked out by a VA contracted doctor in a week or so.

Cautiously optimistic.

Anyway.

It's Friday.

Got my six plants in from Bonnie yesterday, so I'll get them transplanted into their forever homes this weekend.

Hangry Joe's today because I just can't stop.

Can't stop, won't stop.

Only a single meeting scheduled for the day as of this entry, so... here's hoping that doesn't change.

7/10 so far, could go either way.

Cheers, y'all!
