lots to update
So, we'll start with today and work backwards, not a lot of time this week cuz work is crazy but wanted to update a bit. Took Tommy to his new Doctor today and it was awesome. Thankfully the medicaid stuff is all sorted now. His dr is part of a medical center which is literally 5 minutes by car from our house. We waited for less time than it took me to fill out the registration forms before we were taken back to a room. Everyone was friendly and it was a great setup. I mentioned my worries about ADD to the doctor (who is btw the dr who saw Tommy at the health department for his ear infection recently). He ordered and EKG and a blood workup to get baselines and make sure there were no iron/anemia or thyroid or heart issues. All I had to do was go downstairs to get the tests done. It was wonderful. On top of that, when you go down to the lab, they give you this little buzzer thing that looks just like the ones they use at restaurants to summon you when your table is ready, so you can go to the bathroom or let your kid wander over to the kid area and stuff without worrying about missing them calling your name. There's no one yelling names out, it's quiet and peaceful and very organized. Tommy's appointment was at 9:20 with tests and blood draws and paperwork we were out before 11 which is wonderful. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Oh, and did I mention they have a guy in a golf cart who offers you rides to and from your car? I didn't accept cuz it's not that long a walk, but that'd be great when I have a sick kid or something. I am really happy I picked this doctor. I have a followup appointment on Tuesday with him and he'll give me the questionnaires then for me and Tommy's teacher to fill out for him.
Tommy leaves today to spend the vacation with his dad, I'll miss him. I work all week. I am spending friday after work with this guy I've been dating however, which I'm looking forward to. I was working 8 days in a row and next tuesday was my next day off, but then yesterday they took the schedules off the board and told us they were changing them. I was very not happy. How do you take down a schedule that's been up for two weeks 4 days before it starts and change it? I'm hoping it's up today because I have things I have to plan out like babysitting and stuff.
Life has slowly in baby steps been getting better for me. Or at least going in the right direction to get better which is good. I will post more either tonight or tomorrow morning.
