Too purty to live in town.....

1/25/07

Well, a new day dawns. Had to spank him again this am. He just doesn't get the sass thing yet. To the folks out there that are anti-spanking: BITE ME.

Then I went to the doc. I've had a lot of problems with my hands and arms. Problems to the tune of 14, yes FOURTEEN surgeries thus far. I'll spare you the historical details....so, anywho, back to today...

I get informed that I'll have to stay in a cast for 3 more weeks. My last surgery was on my left arm in November. Xrays show the hardware they put in on the bone is loosening. Not a good thing. No wonder it's been hurting so much. My doc's gonna talk with my 2nd opinion doc, may have to go in again. Make my frickin day.

They had a couple new employees there today. In the cast room, she's holding my arm with the cast on it, and asks "so, is this where the fracture is?"
Well, DUH!

Then, when they take me into the exam room, another newbie is looking at the incision scar the size of Kentucky and asks, "So, did you have surgery on your
arm?" Where's Bill Engvall when you need him. Here's your sign, stoopid.

I then headed to the office. I hope to be as invisible as possible today, and not have any futher run ins with incompetent people today. What are the chances of
that happening?

I know, I'm all sour grapes today. I don't like it. I want to be the encourager, the supportive one. It's just not in me today to do that. Please bear with me.
I won't be this bitchy forever. I promise. I probably just need a good old fashioned ugly cry, but I don't have that luxury right now. It'll probably
happen at a most inopportune moment.

The day's not over yet. Joe gets his report card today. He did real good last time, and I'm expecting a good one this time as well. He got all A's and one B+ on the last one. He doesn't have any problems academically, he's actually working in the next higher grade level. His problems are in social interaction. His behavior makes him a supreme bully target. We've got an appt soon for some occupational therapy and I'm hoping what he learns there will help him with his social skills.

Tonite we have karate promotions. Joe's testing for his orange belt tonite. I'm excited for him and hope he does well. Ok, I guess I should get to work and try to do something productive.

Thanks to all who stop by and read my ramblings. A special thank you to The Monk and to Hoosiermomma 2 for the encouragement. Ya'll are real good people, and I'm blessed by you both.

Until later....
