It has been a crazy couple of weeks. Lots of things happening but, because I am mostly at work (vacation times, employee changes, etc.) and am not supposed to talk about what goes on there…well, it limits what I can write. I am seriously considering forgetting that rule; there is nothing detrimental to the company anyway, or maybe I should say, I would not disclose unflattering info.
First things first – the biopsy showed that the tumor in my son’s kidney was cancer, but the doctor is confident that he got it all. What they saw on his liver is believed to be scar tissue. He will be having scans and blood tests done every 3 months for control. He is recuperating well, and should return to work on July 3rd.
Karen spent the weekend with her sister and brother-in-law, then we received a message on Monday night telling us her BIL is now in bed with Covid. UGH! So she’s staying away from me when she comes upstairs. We do have rapid tests in the cupboard, and will use them at first sign of any symptom.
My Little Flea is at day camp (she loves it) and with me working so often we haven’t been able to see each other. Finally her family came for a short visit last night – hugs, hugs, hugs!! Me first, then the beasts, and finally the mouthy bird, who very rudely squawked at the child. Poor Pistache is in her ‘loving mood’, spending much time rubbing herself on her favorite perch, so gets cranky during that period. I left it to ‘my son’ to explain what a ‘loving mood’ is to his daughter, LOL!
The ugly rash is disappearing, the allergy pills are actually a big help for my insomnia, and I’ve learned to deal with the back pain by using hot corn bags and daily Jacuzzi stints instead of taking massive amounts of pain killers. I console myself by remembering that Fiber Internet, allowing for stay-at-home and less physical work, is promised in this area by September.
Now I have to run to prepare, am doing the later shift today, but they are predicting thunderstorms for this afternoon so prepping Mommy, who is already starting to pace, is a must before I leave. Thankfully she trusts Karen, but her fear is real no matter who is here, so I’ll medicate her which isn’t perfect but certainly helps calm her down.
Sending y’all big SMILES!!
