Happy and Blessed Thursday - Today I am thankful
for...Nov 12 2009 04:46
I am thankful I heard from flamel/Steve (see his Monday's journal for a comment from him) as he had not journaled for a couple of days and I was getting concerned. All the men, women, veterans and their families that have sacrificed and are sacrificing so we may have the life and freedoms we enjoy in this country. I am thankful that God gives us a fresh start every morning and gives us grace, blessings and mercy beyond measure.
I kept my breakfast down by eating within 15 minutes of doing my shot. However, it did not work for lunch. I laid down hoping things would settle down. They only got worse and, THANK GOD, someone was in the lunch room to get me something as I would not have made it to the restroom or even the sink (I would never throw up in ANY sink, but especially not a community sink). It was 10 minutes before I could get up and get to the restroom. Freaked everyone out. I did manage to keep the little bit I had for dinner (slice of 12 grain bread and a piece of lunch meat). I know not healthy, but it is all I could manage. I was going to not eat anything, but decided I had best eat a bit at least.
Emily took Elizabeth (she is now 2 years 3 1/2 months) roller skating yesterday. For some reason Elizabeth did not want to go (she has been before) and screamed most of the way there, "I don't want to go skating, it won't be any fun!" Well, she went and did quite well for about 10 maybe 15 minutes at the most and then she was done and ready to go home. Em has not idea why she was like that unless it as to pay her back for the day before at the dentist. Em said she had an off day all day.
I don't know if I told you about the dentist on Tuesday, but it wasn't nice and I can tell you they are lucky I was not able to go with Em, because I would have punched someone out. They strapped her to a papoose board and held her head still while they filled two tiny, tiny cavities in her two front teeth. That had to have been a gentler, kinder way to have done that. I stopped by on the way home that day and she was very clingy to me. She told me she didn't like going to the dentist; I DON'T BLAME HER. I was traumatized by a dentist as a child and still today they have to gas me just to clean my teeth. I hate to confess, it has been several since I have even had a cleaning. Don't want to talk about that.
I pray you are all always happy, blessed, loved and healthy.
Have a God filled day,
V
We had to papoose Michael for a crown and he has done fine at the dentist since but you have to understand that Michael has to be held down for everything even though he is 10 almost 11 years old. He is 2 years into his allergy shots and I still have manhandle him so they can put the shots in his arms. Everybody else in the office just does it including 4 year olds but not Michael. He screams and yells and flails his arms. It's just part of his nature. I wish he would quit.

Thank you for your support also :-) I sometimes feel like the crazy mom when I have such a big kid still throwing temper tantrums. I know some people probably think "that kid needs a whooping" but they don't know what we go through. They don't know that he has had that whooping and it doesn't affect the outcome. He is who he is. We have had better luck with medication and counseling and me getting in his face, nose to nose, and dropping my voice to a whisper while I tell him how it will be. I can't care what other people think because because they don't take care of him. I do. I have to say this food issue with you concerns me. You said the Byetta is something you have taken for a long time so it shouldn't be all of the sudden affecting you to this degree and if you had a stomach bug it would have passed by now in my assumption. Any potential thoughts as to the cause? I know little things can have big repercussions. My mom has reflux and when it goes nuts it makes her throw up. When she had the stomach bug for a few hours it caused her acid to be messed up for weeks after that to where she had to go back on her prescription meds until she got it under control. Hmmm. Whatever it may be I pray you are able to be fed and nourished. (((Hugs))) |
