I'M BACK - did anybody miss me? Ok, we'll I missed you!!!

Last weekend was PRETTY crazy with family life, so I need to take a step back, catch my breath again (shed a few tears), pull up my BIG girl undies, and start fresh.
Everything things seems to be a bit better. I really could go on, and on, about how my family thinks I am their own personal servant, but I'd rather not.

This blog has always been my "outlet" for when things get tough, but some things you just don't really need to share with the rest world, right? You know like, husband and wife issues, kid issues, dog issues, fish issues, etc, etc, etc...are you catching my drift?

Let see, last week was a total bummer. Found out Carson and Cooper are ranking pretty high for another surgery next year to repair the repair. Does that make any sense? As you saw in a couple of posts prior, Carson and Cooper's skulls aren't closing the way they should be, and the ridges need to be smoothed down. I SERIOUSLY think they forgot to mention that to us when we first were considering surgery. "Carson and Cooper's surgeries, may require surgery. Are you cool?" AH - NO! I don't know how common this issues is of not closing correctly, but it's happening to almost everyone else's kids who had the same surgery. What's with that???

Carson had an appointment with a new "loser" of a pediatric neurosurgeon. OMG!!! It was
T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!! Carson was needing to be seen for her rocking that she does. We are trying to pinpoint why she rocks. Is it neurological? Is it a sensory thing? Is it a comforting thing? Is it buggin' the hell out of her mother thing? We don't know. So, we saw Dr. "loser".
Carson and I were waiting ever so patiently - which is tough for a 22 month older you know, and in walks Dr. EGO! My first impression, HIGH SCHOOL PREP WHO WOULDN'T GIVE YOU THE TIME OF DAY! There was no, "Hi", I'm Dr.Loser" or "Hi Cindy, Hi Carson, nice to meet you?" Or "Hello, this must be Carson." It wasn't like that at all. I would guess he is probably Very early 30's, and thinks he is the shit of all SHIT! If you had a question about who made the BIG BUCKS in the room, you knew as soon as he walked in. No question there!
I was asking all sort of neurological questions, and he was looking at me like, you're wasting my time lady. Finally, after 10 minutes, the ego came down a bit an I was finally able to talk to him, you know, as GOD to peeon. I had mentioned that I had asked Dr. Jensen to repeat a CT for Carson -since is had been 6months since her last one. He agreed, and called for a CT (Gee, I am so glad I am on top of this CT thing. When in doubt, order a CT. Seriously, I could be the doctor.)
So, once again we will be heading down to CHW on the 10Th for another CT. Carson is just thrilled - I know it!

Then on Friday, I found out that my childhood friend's Grandfather had passed away. You know, If women had balls, I'd tell yah, God had just kicked me straight in the middle of them. If my week hadn't started off like crap, it was sure ending crappy. Kerri's grandfather was a grandfather to all of her friends. He will be missed deeply. So, we will be at the funeral this week. I am so sorry Kerri!

We did however have a terrific weekend. My wonderful friend Molly's little guy, KJ, had just turned 5 and was having his birthday bash. In btwn all of that they are trying to sell their house. We'll guess what???? I know the ending of that saga. If you need to catch up on that, go here. I guess you will just have to wait until she posts again. Or for a 100.00 I will tell you the ending. Are you a gambler? Do you REALLY want to risk it?????

until next time....
