May 2019 soon!
 

Hello all. Starting an new thread. Its been an interesting day well
not exactly the way we wanted. But everything is going to be okay.

Derrick got burned at work this morning, went in ambulance to ER.
Shannon, I and one of the people at Wabash his provider service met
there. He came home with me. He has some 2nd degree and 1st degree
burns but he is recuperating here at the house with me now.

So its going to be a while.

Hi everyone:

I am taking Derrick to the doctor to have his wounds checked today.
I'm sure everything is fine. But its what the hospital wanted, and
I do too. Just to be sure. And he is still really sore and moving really
rough. So I know he needs seen.

We took Dan to his psychiatrist appointment yesterday. Got a surprise.
Not one I was expecting, along with pouring down rain. My schedule
changed. Dan was sent to the place he was admitted last year about
the same time. The psychiatrist thought he needed admitted, but didn't
seem to know that they would decide there is he really needed admitted
or not. Well I took him after bringing him home, getting his meds. as
requested, clothes for 5 days. And other things he needed. And trying
my best to get him there in about a hour as requested. Its almost a hour
there. But get there and learn, its not a definite admit, its a see if he
needs a admit. And then will decide, ugh. I have Derrick with me in the
pouring down rain. I don't think either of us have the ability to wait for
hours. But we head to walmart to look for him some shirts to wear. And
I get a call, I had called him, and my husband heads over to meet at the place. And he waits for Dan, to learn what is going on. Anyway, I then
take off with Derrick, and it turns off to be a good thing, because I thought
Derrick was going to pass out on me going into pizza hut, but he was fine
just hungry. So we just get home and in walks Dan and my husband right
behind him. It turns out they want him to do a partial from 9 to 3pm the
next two weeks starting this next Monday. Um how is he getting there.

Ugh, that will be decided its doable, Dale will leave his car and take his
truck till I get my mom's car licensed and titled which is this week.
It was why and is why I'm headed to Kokomo today and tomorrow after
Derrick's appointment anyway. I had trouble at license branch need
to see a sister and have her sign a paper. Ugh the paperwork is
getting to be a pain.

Life with me is a bunch of thorns sometimes. Anyway I had them cancel
Dan's therapy appointment today. I didn't want him getting a no show.
Well Dale was so mad he called and rescheduled it this morning.

So I guess he is back to being a dad and is also waking Dan up at 4 am
and giving him his meds, because he isn't taking them correctly.
So he will work this one on his own for a while.

ps. If you don't see me, I'm just gone a couple days.

too much on your plate!

What an ordeal! I'm so sorry that Dan is having a hard time now. He was doing so well! :hug::hug::hug:

I know it's not a convenient thing at all, but if possible, a day program is definitely more desirable than being kept inpatient. I've been inpatient twice... I'm glad that you guys have found a way to make it work. It sounds like Dale is really stepping up right now and really reducing the burden on you.

I really hope that between Dan going to the program, and Dale making sure he takes his meds right, he'll be feeling better soon :hug::hug::hug:

I hope that Derrick's burns are healing, and he's on the mend, too :hug:

Good luck with the paperwork for the car and getting it registered.
