Adjustments, waiting, and surgery....

Man this new school thing sure isn't without it's fair share of adjusting at night. Matt has been visably upset at the sight of me getting him at night now at his new daycare school he attends after kindergarten. Naturally, this is very upsetting to me since we only have but 2 hours together at night now, and I want to make the MOST of it, and with him acting out (now in front of his teachers when I get there) it makes for a very stressful time at night getting him. Part of me is happy he loves it there so much, the other part is super sad that he acts this way since I think that his teachers must think that he has problems at home and is scared or terrified of coming with me..(the thoughts in my head have me convinced)..they said that out of all of the kids, he is the second one in the class that dislikes it when the parent shows up. I talk to him every night about how it hurts my heart to see him act that way, and I want my heart to be big and full, and he says that he will be happy to see me the next day, and once the next day comes, we see the same ol thing. What is a mom to do? I talked to them tonight to ask how he is adjusting, and they said that he has had a few time outs, (normal I suppose) and rather than helping with clean up, he has chosen to sit out, and pout. Thus, also missing out on getting a prize for cleanup from them. So then he pouts for being left out, and then it is all downhill. Why are we having a hard time? Oye! I emailed his real school teacher tonight to get her input on things from her point of view. Please let me have some good input!

Still waiting on the results of wearing my heart monitor. It was half cool to wear it since I get to send referrals all day for our patients at work to get them..half annoying since it really is something you are well aware that you have on you. I was counting down the minutes waiting to rip off the stickers that held the leads. But now I can fully explain how it works to others...you have to press a button everytime you feel a pain, a twinge, anything...and then document it on paper. That way they can see what is going on while you are feeling it. Should hopefully have my results read tomorrow. Been stalking my chart like crazy at work.

Mom goes in for her last CT scan tomorrow to see what all they are taking in surgery. I think she is going to go for a double masectomy at this present moment. She is concerned about her other breast developing cancer later. Her surgeon is going to review her results of the CT and devise a grand plan for surgery and we will get to hear it all Friday. I am really excited about going since this was the surgeon mom finally got her 2nd opinion from, and the one that my dr I work for always sends her cancer patients to. It will be nice to connect a face to name for all of our patients. It is amazing how full circle things become once you work in the medical field.

I am getting a raise at work..a well deserved one..well, not well deserved one, rather a well desired one. LOL! We have been crazy busy, and it will provide incentive to keep on, keeping on.
