klong11 He isn't out, he will likely run out over the weekend and the drs office closes at noon on Fridays, so he needed to make sure and get the script before then. At least he was thinking ahead, although I think pain pills are all he thinks about now, due to his pain level. chrisy01 My mom lives 4 minutes from us, so she has been stopping in over lunch and checking on him. Although I told her she doesn't need to stop today. And home health will be by between 1 and 2 for his therapy.

Almost called the cops on my lawn care guy. Didn't know he was here and suddenly I see a man in a hoodie walking around my backyard. Ran to the front of the house to grab T and then noticed his truck out front. I did burn the grilled cheese I was cooking.

mwhip I’m so sorry. You have a lot on your plate right now. The role of the caregiver is never easy. Especially when your also working full time, parenting, and doing everything else. All of this. I'm so sorry, you've got a lot happening right now mwhip. You'll get through this I promise. Big hugs.

I guess burnt grilled cheese is the price you pay for lawncare...

Morning - rough morning at our house, j wouldn't get ready for school and doggy ended up staying home and he didn't get breakfast. He finally got a banana on the ride in once he was good dropping N off. He keeps having pee accidents at school and he finally told me he's worried someone will take his toy if he stops to go to the bathroom...not sure he realizes that cleaning up and changing takes longer than actually going to the bathroom, but I'm glad he told me.
I have 2 ENT appointments scheduled for N, one super convenient at my work hospital on 11/1 and then another at the children's hospital for 11/8. I think I'll keep both in case I don't like the first doc. The second did my friends kids tubes and loved her. Annoying they are a few weeks away, but I guess I'm thankful to have some good options close by.

Sorry it's so rough right now, mwhip. Have they said how long before his pain levels off a bit?

I got out of jury duty early and am sitting in the parking lot eating BK before going home. I wish it were a daycare day so that I was going home to a kid free house, buuuut it is not.

This afternoon H has donuts with dad/grandpa at preschool. DH can’t get off work so FIL is going to go. H is super excited That’s adorable. I can remember my grandpa coming and doing a few things at our elementary school b/c my dad traveled so much. He did pumpkin carving, manned a booth at the carnival...good memories

Huge hugs and virtual bottles of wine mwhip. I think you deserve a little getaway or spa day or something when this is all over! I’m sorry klong11. That broke my heart about the FB comments; I can see where it would be good and ‘bad’ simultaneously.

Sorry it's so rough right now, mwhip . Have they said how long before his pain levels off a bit? Not really. When we went for his pre-op appt, the nurse told us the first two weeks are pretty damn awful, which is proving to be true. I'm hoping that since we are a week post surgery, we are on the downhill slope. He is supposed to start taking Percocet then 3 hours later, take tramadol, then 3 hours late, more percocet, etc. Hopefully this helps him control it better while not being as dependable on the narcotic. He's open to try anything at this point.

mwhip I'm sorry things are so overwhelming for you right now. I'm 30 mins away from you, so if you need something please let me help. Even if it's just to vent! klong11 hugs lady. I'm sure it's a double edge sword with the sweet reminders and the pain that come with. I hope it gets easier for you.

margaerytyrell so glad the contractions stopped! klong11 I'm sorry you're having a tough day. Sometimes those random moments come up and catch up off guard. Your dad sounded like a great person. mwhip you need a break. I'm sorry you have so much on your plate lately. I hope your husband turns a corner soon and starts getting some relief so things can get a little easier at home.

I'm genuinely horrified and my heart hurts for the kids who had to endure this.

Yeah Sing shared that article on FB. WTF? How much hell would you raise if they dared to do this to your child? And they're using it for minor infractions (not that it should ever be used at all). This tells me they are using sensory deprivation as a means of punishment. No, no, a thousand times, no. How does anyone operating in any capacity as an educator and with education in child development even come up with such a hideous idea, much less put it into practice?!

Serious question though for the girls with DR, how did you know you had it? Like I feel as though my stomach is definitely more bloated/pushed out since having the kids (obviously talking before pregnancy). How can you tell if it's DR or just "you're busted because you had giant babies?"
