| Long time no see.... |
Yes, it has been awhile. Been depressed and out of sorts. Still dealing with depression and the out of sorts feeling but I told someone that I would post so here I am. I was suppose to do it a few days ago but like usual I forgot.
Not a whole lot has been going on. Gary's cyst is not growing but the surgeon here says it has to be drained. They are going to go through the esophagus and then cut a hole in the stomach and then cut a hole in the cyst and sew the two together. I really questioned the surgeon on the risk of septic infection with doing this because that is why the other surgeon didn't want to do it. This surgeon, Dr. Hammas, disagrees. Anyway, it was agreed that he could wait a year if the cyst doesn't start growing anymore. We need to wait a year or a little over because Gary is going to take out insurance and this is a preexisting illness. Gary is in a lot of pain. They have him on Vicodin but he can't take it while he works, it puts his lights out, lol. So he takes it when he gets home and is ready to go to bed. At least he can sleep without too much pain.
Clay, oh Clay. My A-B student has been struggling. He even had an F in pre-AP english. He has brought that up to a D. We have a feeling that he has been having side effects from the Topomax and we have them weening him off of it. I hope to see an improvement with this. I was warned about the Topomax by Jane at Jane Loves Tarzan but it didn't seen he shows any of the symptoms that she mentioned until he was working on the play "Romeo and Juliet". He kept telling me that he was going to get an F because he just could not remember anything and it struck me then about the med. So we shall see. Other than that he is doing fine. Typical 14 soon to be 15 yo.
I am just me.
Later. God bless. Teressa. |

I am SO GLAD to see you back to posting again; as for Topamax, I am going through hell with it (on a 200 mg dose at the moment); I'm on it temporarily and cannot WAIT to be rid of the evil stuff! Jane warned me about it as well.
(((HUGS!))),
