Donna new thread, almost spring
 
Hi everyone

I seem to have gotten so busy in life I just got lost from the forums. Sorry.

Derrick has been volunteering and also playing basketball with special Olympics he is having lots of fun.

Harmony is in preschool and loving it. Not that I see her often but it's been winter here so that will change hopefully when weather gets better.

Everyone else is good, and I'm in my busy season.

Thank you for checking in...How are you doing?

Dmom3005 02-25-2020 08:10 PM

I'm doing pretty good. I got my pump at the end of last month and am learning to use it better and better all the time. I'm pretty busy most of the time. Our busy time.

bizi 02-25-2020 10:17 PM

Thank you for checking in. glad that you like the pump. That is for your arm right from lymphedema?
glad that you are well.


bizi:hug:

Dmom3005 02-27-2020 01:36 PM

Yes, it's for my arms and stomach for lymphedema. I am needing soon to get it started again soon. But this last weekend I found an abscess in my tooth area an started on penicillin. And I've been going to the bathroom a lot. And I have to make sure I can keep on machine for an hour plus hook up and take off.

So after this mess and with this snow mess I'm in. I am hoping for better weather soon.

Derrick is doing very well. I don't think I told you he had an basketball picture in the polar plunge silent auction. It sold before the auction because it's now hanging in Pursues women's basketball office at Mackey arena. It was something that neither of us expected. Made it all the more special

bizi 02-27-2020 10:38 PM

I did not know it was in your stomach?
bizi

Dmom3005 02-27-2020 10:43 PM

Yes, in till I started therapy I didn't realize either. Not sure if that is it's exact location. But close enough. It's part of what made sleeping so much harder. I couldn't get comfortable

Mari 02-29-2020 11:54 PM

Hi, Donna,

I hope the promise of better weather helps you.

It seems to be somewhat. Thankfully I got to go to.town today. Being stuck in my little town got tiring. I have a busy week. So hopefully weather will hold up

GeeLuv 03-02-2020 12:50 AM

bizi 03-02-2020 05:58 PM

And donna is wonderful at everything she does!

Dmom3005 03-02-2020 07:15 PM

Bizi

Thank you for that. I really needed it today. It's been a rough kind of day. First my outlook on my computer is stuck on loading profile and I can't figure out why.
Next, the parent I was to help today's meeting got cancelled because someone was sick, and now we wait till it can be scheduled next week.
Then, the workshop I have scheduled next Monday is really behind on the material getting to me. And I'm really worried it won't get here. Let alone whether I'll get to have it.

Then, out of the blue, I get a phone call this afternoon. That a parent has been told she needs a subpoena to see a video that has to do with her son and a Hold that might have been illegally done.

Wow, I've got a mess right now of cases.

Donna

bizi 03-02-2020 07:58 PM

I have faith that it will all work out for you....keep prodding a long.
bizi

Dmom3005 03-04-2020 08:50 PM

Well things went haywire today. Derricks New behavior therapist went to the wrong address. So I put her out a couple of weeks because I am not available next week. And Derrick wants someone with him when he meets with her. And he is off work the following week. We might be doing things. So I just decided she could wait. He switched anti-depressants and I believe the new one is working better

bizi 03-04-2020 11:10 PM

I am glad he has a new med that is working!
bizi

Mari 03-06-2020 02:20 AM

Good luck to Derrick with his new anti-depressant.
M

mymorgy 03-06-2020 06:36 AM

that is great about the antidepressant!
bobby

Dmom3005 03-11-2020 05:44 PM

Well things have gotten a little depressing here today. Derricks basketball tournament and all of special Olympics has been cancelled till at least March 31st. Purdue and many major campus are going to online after spring break because of the virus.

And it's getting more annoying all the time here. It's hit toilet paper, and sanitizer the worst.

Have an good rest of the week

Mari 03-12-2020 02:30 AM

The toilet paper situation is weird.


Probably the manufacturers who have the resources will ramp up
manufacture and distribution.


Keep taking care of yourself.




M

Dmom3005 03-12-2020 09:29 PM

Oh I am, we are. This is getting more and more disappointing.
First special Olympics, now all sports events are canceled. Then all events over 250 people which there goes my fun event in April. And my inservice

Then to top it of spring breaks are starting, but everything is closing, Disney, New York, others, and our colleges. And now some of our schools are closed for 3 or more weeks.

Wow.

What will be next

Donna

Dmom3005 03-13-2020 07:23 PM

Wow, what an day all the schools in my area are closed for two to three weeks. Ugh, So I did get some good out of this mess. Derrick is going to be helping me clean my house.

Mari 03-14-2020 04:36 AM

Yes, clean the house with Derrick.

When you look back, these two or three weeks will be a short time.

mymorgy 03-14-2020 05:08 AM

that would be so nice
bobby

Dmom3005 03-14-2020 08:23 PM

Yes, he is the best help. It is snowing off and on here today. Just any interesting day.

Ugh, I don't like snow. Our Wal-Mart's are starting to be 6am to 11pm.

GeeLuv 03-15-2020 01:14 PM

I believe I heard our Wal-Mart is closing at 8pm?! Just crazy!

But yeah, it's great you have a good helper there! I love when hubby and I work together (ie cooking or cleaning), but sometimes we just end up fighting. Lol ahhh, such is life though. (Or something. :P)

Dmom3005 03-15-2020 05:13 PM

Our Kroger are now going to close at 10am. And the restaurants are starting to talk about doing shorter hours.

Hair salons are shortening there days

Donna

Dmom3005 03-15-2020 11:27 PM

I forgot to tell you that Derrick was switched from lexapro to Pristo or something like that. We can already and it will be a month the end of the month tell the difference.

His neuro appt. Went will.

Donna

Mari 03-16-2020 03:21 AM

Good luck to Derrick with the changes.


:Heart:

mymorgy 03-18-2020 07:12 AM

that is so fantastic.
bobby

Dmom3005 03-18-2020 07:55 PM

I found out why I am having so much pain in my left shoulder and underarm. So I'm applying triple antibiotic lotion to three spots with Derrick's help.

They were really hurting me and it's been feeling better today

mymorgy 03-19-2020 08:14 AM

I am so glad you are feeling better but should you check it out with the doctor?
bobby

bizi 03-19-2020 09:37 AM

Donna, open sores usually need attention if that is what you discovered. I hope you are feeling better today.
love you
bizi

Dmom3005 03-20-2020 12:10 AM

Bizi

We talked about whether they were open sores. She thought they were just from rubbing and sweat. They aren't painful now and I believe they are either gone or lots better. We are working on
This with antibiotic ointment and will keep eye on it.

Dmom3005 03-21-2020 04:43 PM

Hi, everyone

Our 39th wedding anniversary is today. Wow doesn't seem that long heehee.
It's even weirder that two of my sister's celebrated theirs in August and mine is today. So it's really neat. Anyway, since we can't go out to an restaurant Derrick is making us steak today. He is so thoughtful and kind.

mymorgy 03-21-2020 05:02 PM

CONGRATULATIONS!
fondly
Bobby

bizi 03-21-2020 07:15 PM

maybe next year you can celebrate the big 40!
nice of derrick!
bizi

GeeLuv 03-22-2020 01:29 PM

Congrats Donna (And Derrick ;) )!

Dmom3005 03-27-2020 10:35 AM

Rain rain go away. We all want to play.

Many of the families around here in our little towns are driving around. Because friends put animals and other things for there kids to find in the Windows.

It's been a brighter in dull times for little towns. I saw something online yesterday I'm hoping more little towns pick up. We always have Easter egg hunts. One little town is requesting families to sign up there number of kids to have Easter left in there front yard safely done.

Donna

mymorgy 03-27-2020 10:38 AM

all of us are staying inside because of the virus.
