I had my sleep study and I am being put on a Cpap for sleep apnea. Dr. is on vacation this week so I don't get in to see him until the end of the following week. I am sure after a few months on the machine I be getting better sleep and feeling better.
I still have the other test at the end of the month and PT 2-3 times a week. I try to schedule everything in blocks doing all withing three days so i can escape to the beach for 4-5 days inbetween.
I spent five days at the beach the week of the 4th and enjoyed having my grandchildren with me. They were as good as gold.
My difficult child#1 came out with her husband and his sister and her husband. Unfortunately that was a bit of an ordeal. They are all so self absorbed. They turned the house upside down, used up all my paper supplies so I had no paper plates and had to wash dishes constantly. Never cleaned up after themselves and just dominated my home and made me and the kids uncomfortable like we were in their way. difficult child#1 was PMSing and moody as all get out. Sulking when she didn't get her way and just generally hard to be around. This is the second year in a row like that.
My husband and I are going to tell them next year that they will have to come some other weekend. We are going to keep the 4th celebrations for the grandchildren only. When they finally went home my grandson asked if they were comming back and when I told him no he said "so it will just be us from now on?" When I told him yes he said "Good! Just like the old days!" :smile: We stayed down an extra day so we all could just relax.
On the positive side, The little ones were in the parade and had a blast. husband pulled them in a wagon since it is still too long a trek for them to ride on their bikes. We are hoping they will be up to it next year and then I will be able to go also. The fireworks were spectacular. We could watch them from my deck but it got a bit buggy so we went inside and watched from the windows. Perfect view from my bedroom. We (husband, ME, AND GRANKIDS) layed on my bed and just watched the show. The kids drifted off to sleep before it was over. So sweet.
I am going back in a few days. I have more medical stuff to take care of the beginning part of this week and then I can squeeze out a week back at the beach. After that I am on the run again. I have a wedding in NY and a visit to sister in law at Lake George. Then back here for icky test and then back to the beach the for a week in Aug when I have the grandchildren again. There will be alot going on that week as it is the centennial celebration of the town. Should be fun.
So it is looking like I will have had a total of at least three weeks out there this summer. That is good. Hopefully by Sept. all medical stuff will be taken care of and I will be able to take some time to paint and do my photography and get some artwork ready for next year's gallery season.
On another note, difficult child has begun the Freedom program at the prison again. Hopefully three times is the winning number and he will complete the course this time. He remains at forth on the list for a group home. If he does this program I might be able to convince his PO to let him out of jail and get him into a medical facility while he is still covered by our insurance. That way maybe we can get a new diagnosis and also get him on medications that will work for him.
I am thinking of you all and continue to pray that all of our lives get easier. Please remember to take care of yourselves also. -RM
