My dad is a caterpillar
My dad is still in pain. Yesterday they upped his pain patch to 100 mg every three days. The pain patch actually is an opiate. I've got visions of the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. Actually he's totally lucid. He's considered home bound however until (if or when) this pain subsides enough for him to be able to walk ok. The doctor is sending him for radiation that should help the pain. On Tuesday night we had to take him to urgent care to be catheterized. He's had an on-going UTI. Yesterday was his IV drip to help strengthen the bones so hopefully he will feel some effects of that soon. He has a visiting nurse coming twice a week and there will be someone coming to help bathe him twice a week as well. My mom managed to give him a shower last Friday that resulted in herself and the entire bathroom getting a shower as well!
In other news the former teacher that they made transfer last year when they offered me the SDC class is returning! I can't believe they think she is a better option. The email Principal Barbie sent out makes it sound like there was an on-going issue with the SDC class and how I was transferring and she can't wait to work with the former teacher. This is the same teacher who walked out with no forwarding info last year! Wait until she has to deal with Diamond's mom who has done nothing but complain since Diamond was put in that class. The good news is I don't have to deal with her, Kiah, or anymore of that madness! I'm cleaning out my room today and calling the new school to find out what the bell schedule is. I'm going over there on Monday to get set up. My first teaching day is going to be Wednesday. We decided collectively last night that I need to return to work. We just need to figure out some kind of schedule of people to come in and watch my dad so my mom can do errands and pick me up from work. Right now the only registered working car we have is the Malibu, but I'm thinking seriously about having Nick register his Mustang as drivable again so I can use the Malibu and lessen some of the stress on my mom. My dad I know does not want me to drive at all due to my history of car accidents and frankly I don't want to either, but it's coming to the point that I really don't have a choice. If we do this however it likely won't be until after Christmas so I have some time to "remember" how to drive again.
