The Catcher Report

~*~

I am back! To keep this simple, I got sick late last week. Had a bad reaction to some medicine. Spent few days in hospital. Now home feeling some better, with a sexy, raspy voice.
~*~

XC hasn't went well. Catcher Dude got to his meet on Saturday only to be carted off to the ER. He apparently had an allergic reaction to something in the air. His air passage was closing up fast. So he didn't get to race. So he once again missed out on that course. Guess third time will be the charm next season. Apparently he wasn't the only kid carted off. 2 other boys & 1 girl. So this park & course is just jinxed.

CD was supposed to run Wednesday but they cancelled the Sophomore part of the Freshman/Sophomore Meet. But it was just as well for him, he is still not 100% on his breathing.
~*~
CD & I are away this weekend. Road trip to the family reunion of 100+ people. So I wouldn't have to go alone, I bribed Catcherdude. He has been dying to drive his new car for more than a few minutes here and there. So I am letting him drive the 2 hour trip. Man he is easy to please.
~*~
That probably will wrap up this week. Yeah, I know not much to report this week. Well that is not all that true. But because as I was told yesterday, "I know you don't like rocking the boat .. i am leaving my next topic to another day, another post.

Surgery Set ... Darn!!

I went to the Dr. on Tuesday and even though I begged, borrowed, and pleaded for him to wait until after the first of the year .. Nope!!

I have an abscess and fistula(??) that can not wait. I can not stand this surgeon. He has no bed side manners. He is rude and hateful. I hate this is the man I have to rely on. I barley could get him to stand still and explain what he was doing. Then when I asked how much will I be unconvinced with the drain I will have to have for 8 weeks, he flew off the handle. UGH!!

Excuse me?!? I am the only one here to take care of kid. Who does not stand still a minute. Every night he has some clinic, camp, lesson, etc. I just paid for him to take that 3 day camp week of News Years, So excuse me for wanting to know how I will/will not be getting around.

Of course it is the 22nd of December, my husband has no vacation left. Why would he? *rolling eyes* The Dr. was going to be nice (shocker there) and push all his surgeries back to place me first thing in a.m so DH could be there but still be able to leave by 1:15p to go to work. Oh but of course his employer changed their hours from 2p-12:30a to 6a-4:30p these coming up two weeks. Ugh! But least when I have to have the other surgery in 8 weeks he will have vacation again, and can be there. (That was DH reasoning .. whatever!!)

I am sick to death of there being something wrong with me all the time. I have been on some type of antibiotics since end of August. One type of infection after another. You would think ONE Dr. could pin point this and fix it. But no I have bounced from Dr. to Dr. fixing one infection in this area .. to another infection in this area. The top of my microwave looks like the darn pharmacy at Wal-greens. lol.

I really did not want to be laid up for Christmas. This is one of my favorite times when Catcher Dude is home. I hate .. hate .. hate .. this!!

(Stomping my feet and pouting!!)

Our Favorite Day

So we ended up with our snow day today. Though we totally blew the day off. CD and I didn't even bother to get dressed. I didn't even have to get out to take dad dude to catch his ride for work. Catcher Dude actually slept most of the morning away. He has always been my sleeper. Even as an infant. He was my 12 hour baby. No matter what time he went to bed .. 12 hours later he would wake up. It was crazy. I was never really a sleep deprived mom.

Anyway when he finally rose from the dead bed we enjoyed the day. I broke down and even played PS2 with CD. I hate playing PS2 with him. He only has driving games or sports for the most part. I can do neither. Plus he plays them so much he has them mastered and no one likes playing with him. His friends, if and when they ever come over here, will not play with him. He kills them. LOL. Oh well. He agreed to play some non-sports game, non-driving game. It was all good. Then we snuggled up vegged out and watched a couple of the Christmas movies I have saved up on my TIVO. That was the extent of our SNOW DAY.

More snow and ice is to come middle of night. CD is totally hoping school is cancelled the rest of the week. Every day/night is calling for ice and snow so there is a possibility. I do not hold thy breathe. Though I am looking forward to winter break, screw it .. CHRISTMAS BREAK. Though we have a busy packed two weeks planned it is still always nice to have him home. When I get him up and out of bed. lol.

Oh .. almost forgot. On the Dr front. With the holidays upon us the office is really short staffed. I really didn't want to go back to the same Dr. I saw before, but not really a choice. So even though they are really booked solid until New Years Eve, crabby-no bed side manners-older than dirt Dr. will squeeze me in tomorrow. *crossing fingers* roads are okay for me to drive on. But I when I have to do the follow up appointment I am going to see about switching to this woman they have in the practice. I am hoping she will be easier to talk to, and has better bed side manners. *sigh* This is one reason I never went back to follow up with him the last time I was there I hated, and I hardly ever say I hate something, hated this Dr. *sigh*

Well I am back off to watch more TV and head to bed.

~*~ Night ~*~

Friday is here

So I managed to make it through yesterday. I go back again on the 6Th of January for them to finish what the started. I still do not understand what happen to cause a root canal to fail, but for them to fix it they have to go through the gum. Oh .. okay .. WTF! So they will complete the process in January. Glad they kept looking until the found the source of the infection. What a PITA!!

Now this morning for whatever reason, catcher dude thought it would be so fun .. fun .. capital F-U-N!! (NOT!!) To wake up with the stomach flu. :( Poor guy! Thank goodness dad dude was home today so he watched him while I went to school with a truck full of groceries. Otherwise we would have had them either
a) in the truck all weekend
or
2) piled in the house all weekend.

I decided whatever we have will just have to do for M-Th next week. Then they are out until January 6Th.

So I guess this is our weekend. Hopefully CD isn't sick to much longer. I don't like my wee one lil like this, and apparently the dad dude sucks at nursing. When I got home from school I stopped back in to see what I could go get CD from the store. Sprite & jell-o. But sent dad and you stay. LOL. Okay. So now dad dude is calling non-stop from store and I am home.

Well the laundry & dishes gremlin's have struck again so I am off to tackle them.

Surgery Day

Is here. Finally they have made up their minds what is wrong, and how to fix it. It has been many of weeks of on again, off again, this Dr, that Dr. *sigh*

I am glad they finally picked something. But I am a tad bit worried. I really had not thought much about it, or talked about it really even. It has been such a flip-flop-ity thing I figured it would be postponed or cancelled AGAIN. But here we are.

See ya when I see ya.

Happy Thursday!!!!!

Dr Appointment .. Spoiled One .. Oh My

So I had my yet another doctor appointment this morning. They have finally made a choice and Thursday December 11 @ bright and early 8 am I will finally be having surgery. I don't know if I should be whoo-hoo happy or not, but I am FINALLY glad we have come to a decision and it is set in stone now. Well.. pending insurance authorization.

When leaving there CDD decided since Catcher Dude was so upset last night he hasn't seen dad in a while, and they will miss each other tonight again as CDD is OT'ing tonight we would swing by school and pick him up for a brunch trip to Bob Evans. So that is what we did. Let him miss one class block and skipped across the parking lot to eat. CD was so happy to see CDD. You would think they had not seen each other in months. :)

Now CDD and I are back home. CD back at school. Now I am waiting for a Free-cycle pick up. But I am thinking they are a no-show!! Second no show on this same item. Maybe some charity will want to come pick this up. Oh well.

I will start laundry soon and sit and work more on this afghan for catcher dude. I really want to be done by next week so I can possible make a scarf and hat set for niece. I made niece #2 a blanket last Christmas. So I might even try to make a set for niece #1 & #2. But I don't believe I have time.

Well it is a rare thing for CDD to be awake and me at home, so I am going to go see what he is up to and probably start the laundry as it is apparent the lady bailed on the refrigerator.

Monday .. Monday

So here we are again. You great me at the first of every week. No matter how much I curse you, tell you to go away, there you are .. MONDAY. The beginning of another week. In another month. In another year. You just keep rolling in. In my lifetime already you have shown up 1779 times. You certainly must like your day. But then again, why would you not? It is in fact .. your day. I am sure you would be missed if you didn't show up.

Anyway enough of that. Another school/work week is here and time to get moving. I have a couple errands this morning before heading up to school. I also have to make a couple calls, make more *ugh* appointments. I am so sick and tired of making appointments, after appointments. They better get their ducks in a row and figure something out. Because I am tired of bouncing from Dr. to Dr. plus I am sick and tired of feeling horrible and can hardly manage to take my head off my pillow much less out of my bed. Yep! I spend most of my wonderful weekends in bed. If it wasn't for my DH work schedule I wouldn't get out during the week either. *sigh*

So off we go. Shower, dress, and out the door. But really by the time I do first item I will hardly be able to move I will be so wiped. We have a fundraiser this Saturday for baseball and I do not know how I will even manage going. DH may have to cover for both of us. Anyway ..

Happy Monday!

Yeah! It's Friday!

I am happy to see Friday arrive. I am not really sure the reason. I want to say because the DH is finally home to be with us. Speaking for myself, have missed him a lot lately. Just not connected. His work hours can suck the big one. But I have just came to realize this is how it is. Though I guess lately.. it has been to much for me. I have been dealing with a lot of issues on the plate lately. I am not use to juggling catcher dude and all his worries, concerns, activities, and such, PLUS me. I am not sure what to do! But I have got to get me taken care of. My mental health and my health have GOT TO GET BETTER!! But it will be baby steps, and lots of different doctors, money, and such. So there is where the problem lays. How can I do all that and take care of CD? I am alone 96 hours out of 168 hours in a week.

[Long Pause]

When I wrote that I was stuned. I could not believe really how much time I spend alone. I shouldn't say alone CD is here. But really even when DH is home. We usually are all never in same room when we are home. Kid usually in his room. Me? In my bedroom watching TV or trying to work on this afghan for kid. But I keep riping it out and starting over. I have no idea why? Just doesn't seem to be the right one, so I try another. *shrug* Then the DH is in the living room watching TV. So be excited? Don't see why.

But at least getting back to Friday theme .. this post is taking a way to serious path and I am to tired to fell all that B.S. It's Friday and I can just do nothing now until Monday when I have to get CD back up for school. I will probably just do that. Stay doped up on meds and stay the hell in bed. *sigh*

Well this post sucks! I was so happy at the start.. but BLAH! I am heading back to bed. Maybe DH will be up before 1pm!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Someone close the refrigerator door!!

Oh it is!!.. that is the temperature outside. Brrrr.. yeah so that is totally helping my sinus'. I am thinking we are going to have to break down and heat this house. The thermostat reads 61 in here. Outside temp 30. Catcherdude is going to freeze them balls legs off today after school. They are having their annual Halloween Classic 1.5 mile Fall Run. I was going to go up and watch, maybe, depending on how I feel later.

I am though off to the doctors today. I am one of those get a list of worries, concerns, ailments, things worth paying the dump butted nice co-pay for, and then make the appointment. If I can get a flu shot, and still have this cement up my nose, and the insurance will pay for it, I think I will get that as well. Plus all the other items on my list of things to bombard the DR with today.

Other than that I am still on sick leave and not doing much else. All the house will sit and wait. All of kids run me here ... run me there will be passed by. Though I still might go watch the Fall Run.

So hopefully by mid-morning I have a kickin jack hammer some kickin' medicine to bust this open. Well I am sitting here shaking from the cold, so I am going to hot steam shower my head, dress, and get off to doctor land.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay so I am home now. This really was not my day [again!] I got stuck sitting on the hwy for way to long as yet ANOTHER accident closed yet ANOTHER hwy down. This is getting absolutely ridiculous!! I left way early in hopes to sneaking in early so I could get possible maybe shouldn't have went anyway get up to CD school to open the cart for lunch. But instead I sat trapped on the hky. Couldn't move. Wasn't moving. Turn the motor off and cleaned the inside of the truck up stuck in traffic kind of trapped. I finally get to the office.. waited, waited, and waited some more. But finally got in to see him. Got my medicine. But oh wait, what is this? No more paper scripts we just fax them straight away from the office. Yeah! Right! The pharmacy never got it.

Dr: Yes they did.
Pharmacy: No we didn't.

Dr: Yes they did.
Pharmacy: No we didn't.

Dr: Yes they did.
Pharmacy: No we didn't.

SOMEONE GET ME MY SCRIPT!! I am dying here. Finally after starting this fight at 10 a.m. I get my wonderful, glorous meds at 3. So I have them. Taking them. Phone again. Ugh!

Well now Catcher Dude missed his bus to his Halloween Classic 1.5 mile Fall Run. So he is all upset, and cold [whaddatellakiddo] and misses out on all the fun. So he is on hell normal bus home. Apparently to be crabby the rest of the afternoon.

Weekend over? Seriously?

Weekends just don't last long enough! Friday was errands by plenty.

• Ran by catcher dudes school, to pick up a check, which wasn't there. Of Course!!
• Then we went to Borders to pick up the next book in the series for CD. New Moon
• Then to Bed & Bath for CD bought nothing.
• Had mall lunch .. blah!
• Shopping at American Eagle for CD. Actually got him some Christmas Gifts.
• Shopping at Sports Authority for CD. Had to get new cup and catcher's glove. I was saving the glove for Christmas, but dad convinced me he had to have now to break in before season starts.

Well so after running around like a mad woman on Friday with dh. We had dinner with my mother and after that I decided I seriously needed a drink. Came home to find ice box downstairs empty so I sent DH back out for me a bottle of wine. yeah me!! I drank myself to a sound snooze. slept great.

Only to awaken Saturday morning with this horrible sinus thing. After that all plans of nothing really turned to nothing!! Even the honey dew list from post before.. sat. I have laid in bed all weekend. I still feel like crappy-poo. I did rasie out of my bed to make chicken soup. But that was it.

I am not sure I can cope with the ahead week. Man!?! Do I dislike being ill. But I am glad it came about during weekend. weekend with not a thing to do. weekend. FW had a sinus thing going on a lil bit ago and was suggusted drinking lemonade with vodka. I wonder if she ever tried it, and if it worked? hmmm ...

So that was my weekend. zero. zip. nadda.
