DDA Chapter 25

[bear74]

Well I spent the day at the hospital. one of the Dr.s and his troop of residents and interns came in while we were their. HE said his chest x-ray looked worse today then yesterday. They are doing daily chest x-rays. He was running a temp. which is not uncommon for patients who have just had chemo. Before I left they were putting him on a cooling blanket his temp. was 102. The Dr that rounded was one of the lung drs. he said he is afraid we are dealing with pulmonary lymphoma and if that is the case he will not overcome it. His oxygen sats were 90 to 93% all morning. They gave him the second dose of steroids at 2pm. He gets 5 days of them when ever he gets chemo. After that his sats were 95 to 97 with getting up to 100% and that was while they were putting the cooling blanket under him. The Dr. today said its all in God's hands on weather he lives or not.

I survived the day from H E double hockey sticks. After tomorrow I will not agree to take a Kindergarten class again. This class has not been made to follow any rules and act like a bunch of animals. The para in the room thought I was crazy for trying to keep order. I actually had one kid stick the eraser end of his pencil so far into his mouth that he threw up during circle time. Another girl managed to pull her tights down and underwear to the side so all her privates were exposed. The Para said that it was not the first time and blew it off Never again. I swear I would rather teach all of the 7th AND 8th Graders alone then take this class again.

After school Colby had an ADHD appt. We're going to up his meds slightly, but hopefully this will be the magic number. If all goes well she won't need to see him again until October. I'll keep in touch via email as we want to make sure he is at the optimum levels.

From there I dropped the boys off at the High School Lacrosse games, Chris was there. I rushed home and grabbed the key to the place we meet for our 8th Grade class meetings. I finally got home for the night at 8:45 PM.

Tomorrow is looking just as busy. I really hope the kids behave better though

Bernadette,,,Please check into a few Podiatrists and ask questions. The reason I say this is because when I had my bunion on my right foot taken care of in 1977, I was in the hospital, had surgery, had a cast on for six weeks and had to use crutches. Then in 1995 I had my left one done and decided to have it done in the Dr's office. I could have gone to another and be put under "twilight sleep" but I trusted this Dr and he was a good friend of ours for many years.

During the procedure, I was awake and could hear things, but it was kinda neat. He used a pin to secure the bone after he cut it and then wrapped my foot up and I left wearing a flat sandal with a velcro strap. I was given pain meds and was told to set the alarm to take them every four hours, which I faithfully did for the first four days. Best thing I did. He also had me doing exercises the next day flexing my foot and that was also the best thing because I do notice the difference between the two feet in flexing. I didn't need crutches and was able to get around. I did have to stay home for the six weeks but it was sure a lot better than with a cast.

While I was gone my sister called to say that the AmVets are going to name the function hall in memory of my brother on Memorial Day.

What a nice way to honor your brother.

I'm sorry you weren't overly impressed with BWI. The kids and I are considering that for our December trip.

Welcome home Bernadette

 

[my3princes]

I'm getting ready to go back into the war zone. It's raining today so that should be the icing on the cake

Welcome home, Bernadette! I am sorry about your feet, and that the hotel wasn't great. I hope you are able to sort things out for July. You do know the Kidani 1 bedrooms have 2 full bathrooms? That would be nice.

I phoned the orthopedic foot/ankle dude but I have decided to leave my foot alone for now. We leave in 3 weeks - this isn't the time to start messing with a diagnosis & treatment.

Jennifer -

Jennifer, you and your family are in my thoughts.

Jennifer - I am so sorry to read that things are not going so well for your dad. Good thoughts and PD headed your way.

I am sorry it was such a tough day, Deb. I hope today is better.

This kind of behavior and the lack of interest in many areas of public education is why I no longer teach in public schools, Jen. I am delighted that you have found a school system that expects more of its students and its staff but my heart really goes out to Deb. There is nothing that can be done as a substitute when a classroom teacher has allowed this kind of behavior to take place for the past 8 months. It is appalling!

Good thoughts headed your way, Jen!

Good morning, DDA!

 

[mommykds]

Bernadette,
Welcome back...sorry the BWI was not that great for you...in 2008 we had that room (satelite dish outside, service road) & what a hike it was too! We asked to move asap & did right there & then...sorry they made you wait a day...I agree the staff at the desk was not the best but the CL are nice. I hope you get your feet taken care of soon too. Sounds painful & you must be in tip top condition for July! GF sounds wonderful but I like what Elizabeth said about the 2 bathrooms in Kindani.

Jennifer.
for your Dad.

Jen,
Good luck today!

Deb,
Holy Mackerel!!!! What an experience!!!!!

 

[Tammi67]

Jen - lots of for you today! Fingers and toes crossed!

 

[PNO4TE]

We have a newish spot in town. I think I will venture out there this morning and bring a couple home for Kristin and me to share with co-workers on a gloomy and humid Friday. I have heard they are pretty pricey, so we'll see if they are worth it!
