Life is NEVER dull!

To say my life is ever dull is just a non sentance! MY life is NEVER dulll--I would love to have a dull day or week or month or year lol.

We are still doing the ongoing tests with the VA for dh which thinks we have nothing better to do than travel 2-3 hours away for tests they could do on his day off rather than making him miss a day's work. He tends to get cranky when they keep scheduling the appts for mondays and tuesdays etc and they know dang well he works...guess who gets stuck in the middle? YEP that would be me as usual!

my ds got hurt at work and is suffering with cracked ribs and alot of pain and may actually be broken or he may have back and/or spinal cord injuries ..we don't know alot just yet..he has an MRI in the morning and had other tests this week as well as going to therapy most days. It makes it difficult at best to even play with his precious newest daughter our miss wiggle butt lol and to get his older daughter back and forth to school and cheerleading and not miss her events. Somehow tho between him and his wonderful wife they manage. Having a son who is a fireman is scary enough let me tell you and knowing he has a family it worries me even more but it is who he is, it is who he wanted to be and it is what he loves to do so as a mom I deal with but sometimes I sure wish he had picked a safer profession haha!

Our sweet Caitie had her trip to her specialist at Children's Hsptl and they are scheduling her for surgery after the first of the year again. She was so little when they did the first ones she doesn't really remember how bad it was..how close we came a few times to losing her...so is dealing with it matter of factly right now as she adores her dr. She is one of these rare kids who loves getting a shot! GO FIGURE! She gets very put out when they don't have to give her a booster shot lol. Her hip is what the issue is and while it has healed fairly well it is not growing as she is and without the surgery she will have more and more difficulty as she gets older with normal activities like running and playing let along doing the things she wants to do like gymnastics or ballet. The surgery is necessary yes but...as grandma I so wish and pray it would suddenly be normal to save her the misery I know is ahead after the surgery and while it reheals. They said they are going to put her in a cast as with 5 brothers and sisters there is too much change she could hurt it so that in itself will be a challenge and she will miss school for many weeks which she is not happy about as she loves school.

As for me ugh..same old same old--good days and bad days. The fall weather bringing the colder air is already starting to effect me more each day. I cannot wait to get to the beach and sit in the sun and hottub! Well not so much the sun since as a Lupus patient the sun is not my friend but still the warmth from it sure does these old bones good! The pain meds are taking some playing with to get it so that I have more than an hour at a time without being miserable but hopefully at some point it will work on a continuous basis. I am just kinda sick of taking 14 kinds of meds for all the crap I have been dealt but guess I should be grateful that they even are able to treat them with something rahter than just giving up as was done in" olden days". I know I am blessed with some caring dr's and that is definitely a plus but it took so long to get ones who heard me and cared enough to know where to find out what was causing me such agony.

SO there is my not so dull life this week lol.---stay tuned cuz who knows what next week will bring as there is always something trust me!

Happy over the hump day..hope yours was good!
