[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Monica....Thanks for looking into group tours for us in Hawaii. I think those are the most fun and I don't have to overdress for this one....hahaha.

Hi Holly.....How proud are you tonight knowing that Tyler has worked hard on his behavior and has shined for two weeks now and got his achievement award!!!! I'm smiling and so happy, I can't imagine how you must feel.

Hi Shell.....wish Will a happy birtherday from your DISer friends!!!!

Hi Shannon.....I know you have been pampered and spoiled today and you deserve it!!!!!

Hi Albert.....you always make me laugh at your posts. I think you should go get that guy for Monica when you get into town.

Hi Jan....hope you're enjoying your time with Sophie, mom and brother.

Hi Deborah.....love the picture of you with Peggy. She looks happy.

Hi Jackie.....how exciting that Sept is almost over and you're down to about six weeks until sail away for your birthday.

Hi everybody!!!

Hi Holly -

Unfortunately I am very subseptable (please excuse the spelling) to things...I have even had non-drowsy things make me drowsy.

Not sure how quickly drugs effect "normal" people, but it doesn't take me long to get loopy.

Oh, that really sucks.

The best part is seeing how happy HE is about it, and the smile on his face about it. But it's bittersweet though, because he has no idea his doctor will be taking him off his meds next month, no idea his world is about to come tumbling down. I hate how it kills his self esteem every time because just when things are going so great, and he's so proud of himself, going off meds makes it all go downhill and then he hates himself all over again, and it's heartbreaking, because he's even more sad wondering "why can't I do how well I was just doing not long ago?" It's horrible and I hate that it's coming again. I hate the roller coaster for him. I'd like to just keep things as is since it's working for him.

Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy for him right now. I just hate how he will feel he's letting us down when things go ugly off meds soon. I can only hope and pray that this is the time his body finally handles being off them just fine.

 

[HollyTyler]

Off to bed. Super busy week ahead. Tomorrow after work we have to go buy Tyler's scout uniform, then head to the Verizon store to get my phone replaced while it's still under warranty (when we were on vacation up north and I had troubles with it, the guy at that Verizon store put notes on my account saying I was to get a new one), then walk the neighborhood with Tyler selling Scout popcorn after dinner. Tuesday evening we have a class to go to (one of my CERT classes at the fire department). Wednesday evening we have to take the cat back to the vet for a booster shot. Thursday evening is Scouts. Then Friday we leave right after school for camping all weekend (helping at Tyler's summer camp, helping clean up and close down for the season).

OMG how aweful that has to be for him. I'm just about in tears from the frustration that he is sure to feel soon. I'm sure there must be a good reason why he can't stay on the drugs, but not even a low dose? It just doesn't seem fair after all his progress.

That's a really busy week. I'm exhausted just reading it. Whew!

How is your pink eye Holly? I hope it's getting better.

 

[Tink rules]

Thanks Michelle! I love it

Thanks Holly! glad your eye is getting better already

I ended up taking a 1/2 pill last night at 9pm - asleep before 1030pm. Woke up this morning about 1045am & head still feels a little heavy. Loads better than earlier this week though.

Maybe the dose was too much... try the 1/2 again and maybe a 1/4...I do that...

I ended up going through another box & bag last night while watching . I have only 5 more boxes to go through before I can rearrange the guest bedroom & get it ready for my parents (2 1/2 weeks to go). After they leave, I'll be tackling my bedroom....that I can take my time with.

I only ended up doing only 1 load of lst night, but feel up to finishing things today.

I treated all the weeds w/ Roundup yesterday but it's been raining today, so haven't been able to go check on them....not that I think I'll be able to see benefits already.

Had a really yummy burger yesterday & chilled Killian's at Chili's. It was really nice sitting there reading.

Sounds like you got a lot done...

That 1st boyfriend is starting to drive me !!

He has called or texted every day this week except 1 (yesterday). He wanted me to call him Thursday night after work, even though I had already texted him that I was done with talking that day. He's called 2x today but won't leave a message....I guess he can't get a clue.

Only 10 days now till we are out there. Do you want us to see him off

Isn't he good? Albert I mean!!!

Holly.. talk to the Dr. - it might be time to explain to Tyler AHEAD of time of what MIGHT happen and that you will be working with HIM and the DOCTOR to see what is best for him...

Team work. Maybe he will feel better about it if he knows there will be changes... and maybe he may have to be on meds long term... it does happen to lots of us... and he does so well too!!!

Good luck!

For you Hawaii people...

The podcast crew from the Dis went out to check out Aulani last month... They said that they went to a place called Anna Miller's which is not far from Pearl Harbor... Granted... they said it was a diner (with a dutch theme of all places...) but that their pancakes were INCREDIBLE with a coconut syrup...

Might be someplace to go if you are going to arrange a tour... more room to eat... (just an idea...)

Why is he being taken off the meds??? Especially knowing that they're working???

I was looking at Nico's Pier 38 as a possible lunch spot (saw it on Food Network) but will be also trying to see if we can do a luau that night.

That's a real good question....it doesn't make any sense does it?

I'm hoping for a day pass and luau at Aulani. I'll explore the other islands and be very happy staying at the hotel for the day and night. When do we have to get onboard ship that night?

I'm upset and need some consoling. I just found out that some pictures and a lamp never made it to uncle teddy's to take to florida. Then 2 of my boxes went and should not have and since they were glassware that didn't match the set I sent unc, he threw them out. In there was my champagne glasses from our first disney cruise in 2001. We did the romance package and boarded on our 11th anniversary. There was a whole box of special glassware for the bar.....complete sets of things. Uncle teddy threw them out. UGH!!! It's not his fault because he thought that I gave them to him. It's Tom and the kids fault for loading the car to go to unc's improperly.....lack of communication. Then it's my fault for not supervising the loading of the car. It was a whole box of very special glasses. I'm so sad.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Now for even worse news.....we HAVE to cancel our September trip and all the fun activities that we planned on doing with everybody. I just got a car quote for work that my car needs to have done immediately....it's for $855.95. Between locking me out of Ray's account and this new additional expense in my budget.....I just can't make it happen.

The good news is that me and John will just drive down in November. Then we'll be there when Casey and Brittany are there to go on their cruise. We'll drive them to the port and they can stay at Staybridge Suites with us. I'm sure we won't be able to connect with our friends, but we'll be able to go see Uncle Teddy with Casey. They love each other. I can bring Uncle Teddy his pictures and a lamp and see if he found my second box that I sent down there by accident.....since we'll be driving.

Hey Deb...

I can make your problems seem a bit less...



I woke up this morning with a lump in my left breast.

Called the Dr. immediately...

She said she felt "something" but she is hopeful that most of it may be the milk ducts.. but she also felt something in another part...

SOOOOOOOO........

As of now... I have a mammogram on Wednesday and We'll see what it says...

Just a little scary since my grandmother on my dad's side died of breast cancer.

Keeping fingers crossed and I'm gonna go take a nap... I have a date with a teddy bear...

BTW... I'm not mentioning anything about it on FB...

Well Shell, it worked....I have not a care in the world after hearing your story. AND I am so very concerned, as I know you are too. You did the right thing going to the doctor immediately and getting the mamo done pronto. You should be having mamos once a year since you have a history of breast cancer in your family. Remember that after all this sorts itself out.

My mom had breast cancer twice and her mom had it once. So I'm in a high risk category too. I get a mamo done every year around my birthday.

Make sure you let us know when you're doing the mamo and when you get the results. They may want to do a biopsy.

Lots of prayers and pixie dust for you good friend. hugs too!!

 

[Tink rules]

I will... promise!!!

I'm hoping it's just hormones... but we'll see...

I haven't had a mammogram in 3 years... so I know this is important... I was going to have one scheduled for next month anyway... I'm going to Bellvue Women's Hospital... so I feel good about going there...
