I know I have been seriously delinquent in posting but as I expected life has kept me very, very busy. Work was a little rough at first but I seem to be getting my work legs back. We are extremely busy at work and the days fly by…many days I am there 10 hours. Jaylyn has went off to school and is homesick and on top of that she had strep throat a couple of weeks ago and still felt puny so came home yesterday and had blood tests done to see what is going on. Today I found out she has mycroplasma pneumonia. They put her on a difference antibiotic and hopefully she will be feeling better soon.

I returned to work on a Monday and that night I had to take Jeff to the Emergency Department. He was having trouble breathing and had a heaviness in his chest. Just so you know, when you go to the Emergency Department with these symptoms, it is an automatic admit. They ran a bunch of tests on him and the good news is it wasn’t his heart. They are treating it as acid reflux but he still isn’t back 100%.

My dad also has had a few health issues and with us still working on Jeremy’s house, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. I am more or less done with my reconstruction surgery. The doctor suggested another surgery to fix my right breast, remove the fat necrosis and put in an implant, I nicely said no thanks.  At this point, I have no desire to be off work again or even deal with medical issues.

Unfortunately, I do have to take care of my acoustic neuroma.  I have an appointment in October to see a radiation physician and the ENT doc.  I just want to learn what all my options are before I have anything done.  I’m not thrilled about radiating my head but I’m not thrilled about having head surgery.

I will keep you posted……I can’t believe it has been a year since this has all started.  I am feeling pretty good.  For some reason, my hips are bothering me.  It started when I started walking but has never gone away.  If I have been sitting for awhile and get up, it takes me a few steps to work out the kinks.  Other than that, I do feel good.  My hair is growing and soon, I will not be going to a doctors every few weeks.

Thanks for all your support.

Love you, Lori
