DDA Chapter 26

[lovesdumbo]

Bill has been a trooper. I overheard him talking to the kids the other day, "remember, for now I am the mother" Every once in a while I do catch him muttering, "a woman's work is never done"

Poor Bill. It is wonderful that you've held out so long. Hope the removal is quick & pain free!

Sometimes the internet is a HORRIBLE thing!

So true! I'm so glad I didn't read all the horror stories out there about the bunion surgery before I did it. I don't know if I could have done it and other than not being able to drive driving me CRAZY it really hasn't been all that bad-it hurts but it is bearable and I'm sure it will be well worth it in the end. I've also been reading such contradictory reports on the HPV vaccine I really don't know what to do for Lizzy.

I've just spent 2 hours arguing with the camper dealer. They called to say that they transposed some numbers or the 72 year old salesman made a mistake...and they wanted $4500.00 more. Obviously that is NOT an option. We left a deposit and was told the deal was done and I had spoken with them twice since and no mention of a problem. So the second phone call they came down to Wanting $3000 more. I still said absolutely not, have the owner call me. 3rd call (2 hours later) they will honor the deal and consider it advertising I have been sick to my stomache since the first call. I'm very happy that we are getting for the agreed upon price which we felt was a good deal to begin with, but not as amazing a deal as they'd like us to believe.

That stinks! He has robbed you of being happy & excited about this whole thing. I'm sure you'll be fine once you get home with it!

Isn't it though! Some days I am tempted to yank Phil's computer away or block all medically related sites with a highly encrypted password.

I guess I should be happy that DH isn't into checking stuff out on the net. Cable TV news is bad enough.

Cassidy seems to be enjoying her classes for which I am eternally grateful.

That is great!




All this school talk is very interesting. I have no idea what HS is like here. Lizzy has to take 3 years of a foreign language in middle school-French or Spanish. I guess Lizzy is very lucky that her locker is very close to her academic classes.

so they gave dad 2 more units of blood today, and they kept him overnight again. They rechecked his blood count around 5pm but have not heard the results. I think they plan to check it again in the AM.

Hope that the morning finds it back to normal.

Quickly before I head to bed, I don't remember if I ever posted, but my dad's post-op appt last week went really well. There were only 2 small spots of cancer and they were completely incapsulated in the prostate. He'll follow up in 1 month, 6 months and then once a year for regular PSA tests, which should come back undetectable. No radiation is necessary at this time and as soon as the healing process takes it's time, he'll be as good as new. Thanks again for all of the thoughts and prayers.

Jennifer and Tia - Your dads are in my thoughts. Continued healing for both of them!

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[Tammi67]

Tia - So glad to hear your dad's tests were good!

Jennifer - I hope your dad is doing better this morning.

My dad is attempting to drive my van down here today. Please keep your fingers crossed that he doesn't have any problems with it.

As the great Rafiki said "It is time."

Well (without TMI) it has become apparent that I must have an edometrial ablation. They are also doing a tubal ligation at the same time. Hoping this will make my life alittle easier in the TOM respect which has been quite brutal the past few years. Now I am just waiting to get a surgery date.

Tia, Jennifer, & Tammi,

Good thoughts for all your Dads today.

a friend was finally able to convince her dr's to do that about 2 years ago...she LOVED the immediate relief it brought her. Hope you have the same relief.

 

[babytrees]

Tammi-hope your dad has no problems traveling down to you today!

 

[Glynis]

Just not an option for me since they will not consider any sort of inducing with VBAC. Blah!

Well, hang in there! You've done so well!!

I hope it helps. I think that procedure may be in my future if things keep heading the the direction that they have been going

Hang in there Kristine Or maybe I should say stay in there Jenna

Jennifer I hope they figure out what's going on with your Dad soon.


I'm searching vigorously for a job, but no luck yet.
