9/20/24

I am glad it is Friday. It has been a long week. I ended up postponing Ethan’s neurology appointment. Mostly because he needs an MRI to see if that mass in his head has grown or changed. I suspect it has not. We were running out of time to get that scheduled before the appointment. Ethan had more pressing medical needs this summer.

He is 2/3rds of his way through his apprenticeship. Once that is completed, he is hoping to get hired on with the actual company as he is currently a contract worker/student. I am hoping he will have more flexibility at that point.

I realized today that I still need to finish the parent forms for Ethan’s ADHD questionnaire. Our next appointment is on Tuesday.  My goal is to get it done tomorrow. I started it, but never finished it.

I think my back is getting a little bit better. I am not experiencing the sharp and crippling pain when I make certain movements like I did before. I still have slight sciatic pain but it is nothing like my flat Patti days.

I still have a hot foot. The neuropathy is present still there but less intense. My plan is to keep walking, avoid bending, twisting and lifting….essentially all housework.

We have several more days left before we can drive on the new driveway. I haven’t had to go anywhere, so that has worked out well. My car is sitting happily in the grass. 

I was standing outside today and a bee flew into my stomach. The jerk stung me and then flew off. What a jerk! Death as a punishment seemed appropriate. Stupid yellow jackets!

Tomorrow I plan to make a pharmacy run to pick up my medication. That is my big outing! Ha!

I have been enjoying the weather and sleeping with the windows open.
