Sorry I have been absent!!!

Still healing up here.  And, yes, I am still in the other department at work, but at least I am working!!!  Just limited personal computer usage, if you know what I mean.

My next doctor's appointment is the Wednesday after Easter.  I have physical therapy 3 times weekly and started using weights yesterday.  That was huge for me!!!  I am sore, but mind-wise I feel further along in the healing process, at least.

The only distressing thig is that, sometimes, with shoulder injuries (I have not had an MRI, just x-rays) is that physical therapy is working on getting me better, because I was diagnosed with a strain or spain, which-ever you might call it, but there is still the possibility, that I could have a tear of some type, and not know it... and once we get really going on physical therapy, and then I if gets more & more painful, then they will do an MRI  (GEEZE, I sure hope this is not the case for me) And if there is a tear, or something, then I will have to go backwards and address the problem, and start "all over".  So, I am keeping a positive attitude, and wishing for the best!!!!

Did I mention that I have missed you ladies, and I apologize for being absent!!

Well, yesterday was interesting.   Sadie had a rough day with fever and then throwing up later.   Poor girl is miserable.  DH stayed home with her though.  She got a lot of quality movie time with daddy.   She slept better last night.   No waking during the night until about 5am here.   She woke up because she had wet the bed.  She hasn't done that for so long.   At least we know she's urinating and not dehydrated.  I got her popsicles and jello last night because she wasn't wanting to eat or drink much of anything.   The popsicles were a big hit.  Her fever this morning is 101.   Not as bad as yesterday but she's still pretty miserable.   She now has a really croupy hacky cough.  DH is staying home again with her.   It's smarter for him to stay home than me since I"m working all this OT we'd lose a lot more if I stayed with her.  I wi**** was me thoug...it's hard to hear her out there crying and have to sit here and work through it all.  I know daddy is great with her though! 

Other than that all I did was work 12 hrs yesterday.   Today is only 10 hrs woohooo!!  LOL  At least 6 hrs of OT will be finished already.   I'm doing 15 hrs this week.  Next week I"m only working Monday and Tuesday though so I'm really looking forward to that.  I can't believe it's almost Easter already. 

Court, I hope you enjoyed your Monday off even if it wasn't as peaceful as you'd ideally like. 

Jamie, I hope things are going well for you.   Are you healing up any better yet?   Still working in the other area?

Oh why does Monday have to come so quickly???    It will be a very long Monday at that  here I'm sure.   We were up most of the night with Sadie.   I noticed just before bed that she felt warm....took her temp and it was at 101.   At 1am it was 103 even after having had tylenol.   Went to give her ibuprofen and noticed it was expired.   Gave her more tylenol....she slept restless until 3am.   Got up and the fever was still 103.   Changed her into lighter weight pajamas and wiped her down with a cool washcloth.   She then laid on the couch with daddy.   I went to bed for another hr til the alarm went off at 4:30.   I made a quick run to Walgreens before I started work at 5 and got ibuprofen.   Got back home and they both were sound asleep in our bed.   I haven't woken them back up yet.  Hopefully they will both sleep for a while.  Daddy is going to stay home with her today.  This came on so quickly for her.   Although we should've known something was up I guess when she didn't eat much of anything all day yesterday.   She adn daddy went to the park to play while I did some housework yesterday evening and he said she wanted to go home because she was so tired.   They laid together on the couch and watched Toy Story.   Not Sadie at all...she never lays still for a whole movie.  

We had a great weekend before all the sickness though.   Had a fun game night at church Fri night, saw the Squeakuel movie Sat morning, did a bit of shopping and had lunch Sat afternoon, got grocery shopping done so we'd have relaxing time on Sun.   Yesterday we went to church....had lunch with my sister and her husband on their way through town and then got a lot of household chores done.   Relaxed in bed watching tv for a bit last night too.  

No plans for tonight thankfully since we won't be going anywhere.   I'm supposed to try to work a 12.5 hr day but we'll see how far that gets with such little sleep.

How was your weekend?   Jamie, any signs of spring for you yet?  I'm hoping your temps are at least above zero now.

Yayyy we made it yet again.   Sorry I missed yesterday but it was a crazy work day and we left for church stuff right after work.  Hopefully today is a bit slower.   Doesn't matter one way or another it's Friday and I can sleep until at least 7 tomorrow LOL.    We are going to play games with friends tonight so that should be fun.   Tomorrow morning is cheap movie day with Sadie.   It's The Chipmunks Squeakuel playing.   Sadie loves that movie!  After the movie I have to work 2 hrs.   I do have a lot of housework to do and shopping to get done as well.  Sunday we're meeting my sister and her husband for dinner after church.   Hopefully after that I can relax a bit before I start yet another crazy week. 

Court, I hope you survived your teenage Thursday!!   Teenagers are so much fun ! 

Speaking of teenagers, my oldest turns 20 today!!   I am NOT old enough to be her mother!!   She never came home last night either so we'll see if we even see her today.  She'll know I will be upset that she didn't at least call to tell me not to worry.   She also told Sadie last week that she would take her to do something today but I'm pretty sure that's not happening.   Good thing Sadie doesn't remember.

Jamie, I hope you're healing more each day.   How is it being back to work?   I hope they keep having something for you to do so you're able to work.   Have you gotten rid of your below zero temps yet?   We were 57 yesterday but starting today we'll be back down to about 30 ICK!!

Well, have a great weekend!

Monday did not get better, it actually got worse.  My "son" had a scuffle with the secrity guard at school, who pressed charges, so he was arrested and charged with assault.  He called me in tears after his mom bailed him out.  I of course went to get him and bring him to our house.  Took him in to school yesterday to see what I could do to help the situation.  I was able to talk with his guidance counselor some, will be picking up his school work since they did suspend him, and see ing what I can do to assist with the criminal charges.

Well we will be celebrating tonight, my hubby's niece's 8th bday, big family dinner out tonight.  Of course I am playing catch up at work today, then after dinner it will be home to chill the dog out.

Michelle, we had burgers on the grill last night too!!  Working on enjoying the decent weather we should be having the next few days. 

Jaime, sorry that you are still below zero and hurting.  Hope it heals soon!
