[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 44282, member: 1991"] Hi, Heather. I'm not that fast - back when I was at top speed I was 40 wpm. These day's I'd be lucky to make 20. About that Geography teacher - I've had bad vibes since our first phone conversation. I'd have talked to her yesterday, if I knew what she looked like! But it turns out we could have dropped difficult child 3 back to a more supported level and she never suggested it, even when I said he was struggling. Mind you, she wouldn't consider him to be struggling, he got 8/10 despite losing that half mark for not having enough words listed. About your reaction - I thought it was the Plavix too, and they should have taken you off it. Still, you're off it now. The trouble is, it's not good to stop it too suddenly. mother in law was on Plavix despite repeated problems. It was making her anaemic. Hope the steroids don't knock you around too much. If you were OK first time round, the higher dose this time shouldn't be too bad. Just take things VERY quietly, especially for the first few days. Book to read - find a Discworld book by Terry Pratchett. It shouldn't make you sad - just the opposite. But thought-provoking, too. You don't have to read them in order. Although the same characters crop up in different books, each one stands alone as an enjoyable read. Try "Fifth Elephant", "The Truth", "Thud", "Soul Music", "Wyrd Sisters" or "Carpe Jugulum", for starters. You might even get your daughter interested, they're ideal for a bright kid who is good with words. Marg [/QUOTE]
