Important Life Events

I agree with Paden

[SenkoTwiik]

What's going on right now:

-Still on speaking terms with B. He is trying to get work for now, get 15 college credits in August, and then he is joining the military to try to prove himself to me and the kids. I am pulling for him to chance his ways and do the right thing, but I don't want to get my hopes up.

-I am settled in at dad's and I am getting in contact with a home-based school program to become an RN. Should be nice. I go up to my mom's now every weekend to let B see the kids, so we are at least trying to get along.

[Paden]

That's good to hear, and honey, I really hope that things work out for the best for all involved. You deserve to be happy!

[Katie]

I'm sorry for what you are going through... but chin up, things will get better soon; right?

[SenkoTwiik]

I hope so guys.
B called me and let me know he now has a job at Checker auto part store. So that's good. He made no argument about paying child support for the kids. We are trying to work toward being a family, but nothing is going to happen until we are both better people.

I am about to enroll in school, I need to talk to the people tomorrow.

That's so good to hear Senko, I wish you guys the best.

Paden, thanks for the support (you too Obrett) and advice.  The jerks have returned some more (well sat them across the yard--too lazy or stubborn to bring them over courteously) but I'm focusing on my immediate health right now.

I suddenly have extreme edema on my right side which is very painful. Weird because swelling for me has been mild but evenly distributed. I just need to make it through this move. 

[SenkoTwiik]

Oh boy, edema sucks! I had it in my feet and lower legs so much I got stretchmarks just from that. It was owwie.

How are you doing other than that, Dasi? Find out the baby's gender? Everything okay with the little one?

[DaSpecial1]

I didn't know you could get stretchmarks on your legs! *breaks out the cocoa butter* Thanks for the heads up, my right leg is a balloon, it's scary.

My kids have asked me that twice (after each of my last two drs. visits) lol.  Believe it or not I forgot to ask each time. I've been having a sonogram per visit, not normal I know, but normal for my pregnancies which come with extreme nausea, weight loss and dehydration. This baby has been so active each time I spent the time laughing & being relieved of course, but it just slipped my mind.

My other two never did all the olympic flips and turns that this one is performing on screen (& off). It was like watching a trick video. For all my suffering the baby is awesome . I couldn't ask for more then that.

[Nonni]

Dasi,

Thanks for keeping us updated. I sent you a message but I think I forgot that you never look at emails. Did you tell me that once?

Right side edema - sound weird. I am glad you are already having fun with your baby.

Hugs from Nonni

[DaSpecial1]

True, I rarely visit my email . I'll check for your note though.

I can't figure the right side only thing either, except that until yesterday, when I was forced to rest out of exhaustion, I hadn't been following the bed rest order.  It's hard to when there's so much to do.

I'm dealing with more then my share of stress to work through but yes the baby is fine. I just have to remind myself to ignore the idiots.  I'll be so relieved when this week (and this move) is over.

Thanks for the hugs    For all of you--->

Remember back in the day, after Clay was diagnosed with DMD last summer? How they thought- then proved that I had some form of Muscular dystrophy? Well they are trying to figure out which it is...

I have symptoms of Facioscapulohumeral (upper arm bone weakness a little, and the fact that it progresses slowly and can be mild), Oculopharyngeal (weak eyes, and weakening muscles around eyes, pneumonia; however I'm a bit young for this one...), and Distal (Hands, lower legs, and feet, mild, slowly progresses)

That's just an update...

[Glamily]

I might be moving in with my older sister if all goes well.
Funnily enough, its not cause I don't get on with my rents. Its because I do.
They suggested that I move out, live with my sister and get a feel of the world before I get chucked into the deep end.

[DaSpecial1]

Yay, last move out day is finally here!  I can't wait to get settled in.  It means no net until cable is installed  so I'll have a couple weeks of web withdrawals after tomorrow (going to get my fill tonight ).  See you folks then  .

[Paden]

Take care and see you when you get back!

Take care of yourself, Dasi! See you when you get back!
