Meg had an appointment with an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist today. She really didn't want to keep the appointment because she was without fever all of yesterday...and felt somewhat okay. Well...they took her temp at the doc's office...and it was over 100. Problematic. After all of these drugs, she's still not up to snuff. The doctor seemed concerned. Gave her a steroid pack to try to bump up her immune system. If the fever exists tomorrow, they will do blood work. She is tired of being sick, and I am worried about her.
The children, God bless them, are good kids...but we really, really need to get something done here in the house to get a handle on the space. Bedrooms! We need bedrooms! I am remodeling everything in my head. Don't know where the money is going to come from for all of this, but something has to be done so we can exist in something of a normal way of life. Soon!
I have a couple of classes that are driving me nuts. Fortunately, my last class of the day is a good group--a small group--and my blood pressure goes back down before I have to launch for the day to go to my second job at home. We all have our crosses to bear. I waffle from feeling really good to feeling defeated by the chaos, but we are all doing the best we can to make lemonade out of the lemons that life has cast at us. Meg is doing very well at the workplace. I'm just ready to retire!!
A dear friend of mine is enduring the no-win situation of watching his 85-year-old mother go downhill in rapid fashion. His father is still living--also 85--so his life is complicated by worrying about Dad, too. He is wearing himself and a vehicle out by driving up and back to Anderson, IN, every day while his mother is in "assisted living" but combative and unhappy about her circumstances. I can do nothing to help. The end of life is as complicated as the beginning of it. I wish him well!
It's only Monday and "ahm tard" already. So...where is KB9RDO on the radio these days????
