AACCKK...sorry that short hiatus turned into a long one. It has been a busy couple of weeks. That week that started the hiatus off was quite busy, with 4 lab writeups (5-10 pgs long), 2 journal article reviews (3-5 pgs long), one portfolio (6 pgs long) and two midterms in the same week due it was a bit hectic. Luckly my hubby pulled through for me and was a great help in taking some of the load so I could study.

Let's see what has been going on...LOTS!!

1. I have been feeling rather bad lately with wierd vertigo/dizziness/nausea thing going. It started out very slow and ramped up to happening 3-4 times a day...needless to say it was a bit scary.

2. Finally got to see a good doc about my wrists, feet, neck and the above mentioned dizziness. He diagnosed me with no reservations about my age with carpal tunnel syndrome. He has me in wrist braces for two weeks 24/7 and then after that only at night for two more weeks. For my dizziness he figures/hopes it is a thing called labrynthitis...I have an infection in my inner ear. He also said on the rest of the stuff that if the wrists are not better in a month he is going to get me on an experimental drug to help people who have multiple nerve issues in the extremities. Unfortunately it will not be covered by my insurance so bummer...not sure if that is even an option. Anyway...he really listened and I get to see him quicker that six months so I am happy.

3. Hubby's birthday was Monday last...he had a great birthday, we had some friends over on Saturday night and enjoyed some fabulous ribs that I made (pat, pat, pat) and he made some steaks and the vegies on his new grill...all was fantastic and everyone ate more than they thought they could.

4. I am finally off for spring break and am simply relaxing...I need it..got two mid-terms when I get back...bastards.

5. I cut my hair, not crazy cut...just went to a good salon and had them style it and I LOVE it...will have to figure out how to get some pics up...maybe hubby can help...

6. R's therapist has recommended him to go to get a psych eval...mostly so we can rule out anything like his post traumatic stress stuff being the cause of his ADHD like symptoms...I do have to say that he is doing fantastically though...he is being such a good kid...I swear it is like having a different kid...

7. S is doing great in school...still daydreams like mad but he is good...he has been sick for the last several days and can't seem to fight it off so I took him to the doc today, they gave him antibiotics that insurance wont pay for...so back to the doc tomorrow to see if we can get something else.

8. I took the boys skating yesterday (roller not ice) and we had a blast..unfortunately my body decided to let me know that I am not 16 anymore...I fell...HARD...when this very comical fall happened I threw my arm behind me to brace myself...I am not sure what I did but my shoulder hurts REALLY REALLY REALLY bad. I know also that putting my arm back did me no good because I still hit my head on the ground...so my arm went behind me essentially going around like a Barbie dolls arm will go...elbow first around. OUCH

Well that I think is about it...I am gonna go do more relaxing...not the skating kind of relaxing mind you ....just relaxing!!
