Dear Pam,

This sounds like lots of medical stuff to keep up with.
Sorry.

The pool pass sounds great. I love water.

Do you have new news for us on Jackie and the trike?

M.

He still hasn't ridden it yet, maybe today, we've been going to the pool and he's lost over FIVE pounds! It's been awesome!

We're going out with mom today and I doubt we'll have time to do the bike today. He sits on it here in the livingroom and balances just fine so we're confident he'll be able to ride it, but this makes a whole week we've had it and we haven't gotten him out on it.

Dear pammy, I can relate to the fear of getting pregnant.

good for you about the pool pass! and great that he has lost weight!!!!!
have a great fourth of july weekend.

Thanks Beth! I am really excited he lost five pounds because he's at a crucial stage in development right now. It's just been so hot we haven't wanted to get him on the bike yet. He's been great about it too. It has to be driving him nuts too. I got a new bolt and nut for the fender so we can put it on now, hopefully that will get put on today and he may be even able to take it for a spin. I hope so, he's been great about it.

We are definitely going to the pool today though and I am glad we got the passes, (we each have a card they scan and they even laminated them for us) and I am looking forward to the fun we'll have swimming together later. We went to Walmart yesterday and I got my hair cut so now the entire head, except for my bangs are one length again. Well I say again, but truth be told I have always had bangs except when I was a kid. One more hair cut in December probably, and the bangs will all be caught up.

I go in not next week but the week after that to get my ultrasound done. Did a pregnancy test this morning and it's negative, Jack thinks I'll be fine not having the surgery but I have heard of too many women having a 'change of life baby' to want to add myself to the list. I really don't know how long menapause will last for me either so to be safe I need to get this done.

So that's where I'm at today, hopefully things will go well Monday for Jackie in summer school, we went for a speech evaluation and they recommended speech sessions twice a week. So tomorrow is his first session. The evaluation was cool, I like his therapist, she's really on the ball.

I am happy for you pammy, you sound great!
((((HUGS))))

I feel much better, I think summer school starting today will be awesome for me, I just have had a hard, hard time this summer, and it's not over yet, we'll still have almost three weeks to get through after July is over and we've got three day weekends to get through all through July. I don't know, I guess I am just tired of having people in the house and today the behavior analyst comes back and we're going to talk about fading the services. I don't want to talk to her, but I know we have to. I feel like we really don't even need her anymore since she wasn't here at all through the month of June when we needed her the most you know? Just not fair.

Getting ready to see my T-doc in three hours, hoping it will help. I just have such trouble with life right now, it's been awful. From anxiety over the tricycle (the whole trip going to walmart to get it and the trip home with it in the trunk, then anxiety which proved founded because we DID end up losing a screw during its assembly) to anxiety over Jackie breaking stuff. Or hurting me. It's been awful. I wish the P-doc would let me stay on lorazepam. I have great doubt that they Buspar will work for me. Oh well, even if I don't like what she has to say I kinda am stuck with it because there are no other P-docs taking new patients in the area right now that take medicare and medicaid.

Dear Pam,
I wish that you could feel easier about getting the med that you need.

After today's discussion with the behav analyst, you will feel better -- one more thing checked off and done.

I hope that your tdoc visit goes well.
