Hello!
Life is a roller coaster, so hang on tight, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.
This is my personal blog and it is quite often all over the place, just like my brain. So do not come here looking for any words of wisdom or intellectual and academic debates or even witty remarks because you would be unlikely to find those! I am lucky if my brain wakes up most days. Suppose it depends how much whiskey it has had the night before...
It also features my very special lovely son who has Aspergers and for whom I am now fighting for to get a Statement of Special Education Needs, my dearest darling daughter who is so very beautiful and precious and last but in no way least, my long suffering wonderful husband who looks like Richard Gere. I ask you, what more could a woman want!
Well I have just come out of hospital, all is well although, like most, the brain is not in gear after a GA.
Hubby is being made redundant on Thursday. We received that news today.
Little Man is going to be a pink fairy for Red Nose Day 2009.
What else? Not a lot. Just trying to hold it all together as usual.
Dearest Darling Daughter has the all clear! They are very happy with the results of the second set of tests and she has nothing to worry about. We texted her the news in Belguim today as she is away with college on a trip. One happy little lady now thank goodness.
I rang the hospital who did the treatment on Little Man’s toe and they agree that he needs to come back in quickly and in view of his condition (Aspergers) they will see him as a priority and not keep him waiting any longer in pain so he is in on Monday morning for them to operate. Means he gets an extra night at home to play his new game which has arrived today and it also means I get to see more of him as I am out this weekend seeing the second ever concert in my life, Il Divo. The lovely Hev is being a brick and coming with me. Not Hev’s first choice, I must say that in her defence.
I get to take Little Man on Monday and to stay with him whilst everything is being done and he should go straight back to school, he will be capable so the hospital say. His lady surgeon is a lovely woman and understands a lot about Aspergers and so is very keen to make sure that absolutely everything goes perfectly for him and that he feels “in charge” of what will be happening to him and no way are they going to go anywhere near his toe until he tells her it is completely numb. The lovely school nurse will be on hand too, to change his dressings and to administer pain relief and tlc. Let’s hope that it all improves for him very quickly.
He is very, very upset. He has an ingrown toe nail and during half term we took him to hospital for the specialist to have a look and look she did, and cut she did. Ever since then, he has been in agony. Tonight he is phoning on his mobile, crying his heart out because of the pain. All I want to do is grab hold of him and cuddle him and stroke his head and I can’t.
Tonight I am not sure if I can bear this sort of pain. Him being away is one thing but crying at the end of a phone is another.
