KrissiK Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Good morning Ladies! Jean, hope all goes well for you today. Prayed for you yesterday and will do so today. Today.... ** school ** laundry - our dryer went out on Friday, Saturday dh spent a fruitless afternoon trying to buy us a dryer (strangely enough, people in the N. valley don't buy many gas dryers so there aren't many to be had), so he went on-line, found one at Lowes in the S. valley and they delivered yesterday afternoon. Hooray for Lowes. ** mil coming over this morning ** cleaners coming this afternoon ** allergy shots ** bell choir this evening Have a good day, all!

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Praying now!! Let us know how it goes. The appointment went ok, I guess. My husband came with me and helped me to do the urinalysis. One of the benefits of marrying a nurse. The doctor made me cry - out of pain, not mental anguish, during the physical exam. The doctor said "Are you all right?" Dh snapped, "No, she's not all right. She's in a lot of pain!" That said, he really doesn't have any great instant solutions. He's ordered me new pain pills, told me to keep taking the muscle relaxant and gave me a prescription for physical therapy. He thinks this is separate from all my other problems - the 3 month long sinus infection, the kidney stone and the ovarian cyst that no one had thought to mention to me until the doctor mentioned it in passing today. I see him in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Dh cleaned the kitchen on top of everything else he's doing for me right now. Now he's off to work. Ds has been working on school all day. Dd's school has been very truncated lately because she has to do a lot of it with me. She did reading today and we discussed it. And I insisted on doing math with her. She did very well in math though she's still working through 4th grade math. The power company came by to change out our temporary transformer for a real one.

mom31257 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Jean, we will continue to pray. I'm so sorry for all your pain! Don't worry about dd's school. I have a friend who was homeschooled and is a nurse. She lost 5 siblings to miscarriage or stillborn, but one lived about 7 months and was in atlanta a lot in the hospital. She said they didn't do much school that year but learned so much more, what being a family is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking Squirrels Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm hardly getting anything done today. And we just decided to put a bunch of stuff in a local consignment sale, so I have a ton of prep to get ready for it by tomorrow night. My little one has been crying all day. All. Day. I guess she alternates crying with "mommmyyyyyyy". I have no idea what is wrong. She even cried and rejected it when offered ice cream, cookies, and fruit snacks. Seriously not normal. Seriously not helping my growing to do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Anne--praying your little one settles down and is okay. I decided not to go to the mom's meeting tonight. It's wet, cold, and I've already driven too much already today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Went to pharmacy. Went to physical therapy place in town, talked to them, and signed up for an evaluation for tomorrow. Went to grocery store and got stuff for dinner. Took muscle relaxer. Unfortunately I have to wait over 3 hours for the pain killer because I need to get it on a good schedule for coverage.

readinmom Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Okay, so only two things on my list are done. Bought a new scanner/copier. Dropped ds off at friend's house. Library and snack for dd. Probably pasta for dinner instead of chicken. Can't even think of turning the oven on in this heat. I'll spend my evening with Well Trained Mind, 1st edition, and What Your 5th/6th Grader Needs to Know. Making plans for next year because private school is probably not going to happen for dd.

KrissiK Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Got everything done today, but I'm worn out. The kids were difficult to say the least. And I must say I was not a shining example of what a sweet, patient mother should be. Very hard day. But, two kids are in bed, in another half hour the rest will be in bed and I can rest!

MysteryJen Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi all, I just got back. Long hard time. I am exhausted mentally and emotionally. Jean, I have been praying for you and will continue. So sorry for all you are going through now. Today is my birthday...spent most of it in an airport waiting for my delayed flight. But came home to happy kids. Ds3 broke his nose yesterday, but it hasn't slowed him down at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. It has been incredibly hard but for once doctors are finally listening to me. Today's appointment was the first one I've had where a doctor has been actually able to see what is going on when I'm in so much pain - while I've been in pain. In the past I've always called when in pain but by the time they got me in to see them, I wasn't in pain anymore and was just having to describe it. I'm hopeful that the PT evaluation tomorrow and subsequent therapy might lead to a more functional and pain-free life for me. And the sinus thing has been going on in the background for a long time too, I think. In the past I would have taken my antibiotics the first time, not gone in to be checked because I felt "fine" (not great but not as bad as I was) and would have gone my chronically ill way - never feeling quite well but not really knowing that I was still infected either. It was only because I insisted this time on a recheck by the doctor that we could see that "fine" really wasn't fine and that we needed to keep addressing this.
