Jean in Newcastle Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hi. Four hours to find out what I already knew- I have kidney stones. Saw a nurse practitioner- she was young. I had to explain some basic things to her. I also had to explain to her why I could not do the pain control things that she wanted me to do since they were contraindicated. She had ny chart right there explaining why- which is why I normally only see specialists who understand complicated patients. But she checked for infection and I had that ruled out which is what I really needed. Now I am on the cusp of getting really really sick. My body has been really stressed by the kidney stone pain and lack of sleep and I can feel my immune system giving up which is not good. My exercise goals are on “pause”. Not sure what will get done today 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Last night (same old story) I went to bed a bit early with the thought of getting up early, which did not really happen, but at least I got some sleep. Up at 6am to wake kid so she could finish homework. Help kid with homework or it would not have been finished on time. Other kid up. Kids off to the school bus on time, yay, with band instruments and gym stuff. A little cleaning. Work discussion. Catch up with work / personal emails, social media, news. AHG stuff. To do: Lots of work. Bills. Calendar. Filing. Driver will take kid 1 to horse riding and pick up kid 2 from basketball practice. Kids' work - homework and music practice. Kids to bed. Work. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) (((Jean))) Okay. I've had a lot hanging over my head lately but tackled some of it yesterday. Today I just need to keep going. School Laundry - Ensure that DS finishes his load; put away odds and ends Unload dishwasher and start cleaning cycle Lunch Vacuum kitchen mat and living room (bonus: do some upstairs, too?) Clean out fridge Grocery list & shopping Work on Christmas Create a sign-up thingy for April event and email to team? Reimbursement for scouts Kitty litter Dinner before scouts Run dishwasher again If DH takes DS to scouts--cookbook; paperwork for Monday; dust. This keeps getting longer. 😕 To be continued.

SKL Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Didn't realize it earlier, but I have/had at least 3 conference calls today. Plus at least 3 other clients asking for stuff ASAP right now this instant. Times like this I just want to go back to bed and cover up my head. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink and Green Mom Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Jen, good luck to your daughter at her meet tomorrow! I have returned home from school and Publix. I am sitting down for 15 minutes and then am not going to sit down again until all my work is done. Once I sit down I have a hard time motivating myself to get back to work.

SKL Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'm happy with my kid right now. She got done with all her homework and her shower before bedtime. Her bag is packed and her clothes are laid out for tomorrow. It may not sound like much, but it's not so easy for us these days. Part of her science assignment was to write an opinion about embryonic stem cell research. I was impressed with her response. It started with "I have mixed feelings ...." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
