Haven't been feeling up to par since Christmas really, chalked it up to stress of my last semester, then recovery time. Last night was up from 12 am until 6:30 with the most horrendous pain in my upper back and right side. Seems as if I may have gallstones, freaking fantastic!

Went to work today for most of the day and with 3 hrs left on the shift had to leave. Because I have no FMLA yet, I am now out on short term disability until who knows when. I can't get in to see the doctor until Tuesday at the earliest so I will know better what I am facing then.

As far as the littlest one's hand, changed the dressing this evening and it still looks nasty but the laceration on the back side has healed nicely. We go back to the orthopedist on Monday at 8 am. Come one doc, it's summer, couldn't it be 10? And from there we will know more about if we have to go plaster. Personally, I am hoping for another week, two at the longest, in the soft cast. She has adapted very well, almost too well.



No new feature yet, can't sit at the computer for that long at a time these days. This week I am featuring art that represents the best of Dragon art from some of the artists here on DA. They are all amazing in their style and techniques. Oh to be that good one day
I proudly display their work in my journal. Don't forget to stop by their galleries and leave them some love!

Update: I have had to move the contest AGAIN to this summer due to school, work, and being just all around way too busy. I want to personally thank HARVESTLAKE for stepping up as Mods for the club in my absence.

Just as I got to work I get a call from the daycare. The youngest had her thumb smashed in a door and it wasn't stopping bleeding. So I rush out from work without clocking in, get to the daycare and she is hysterical! I can't get her to take the paper towels off her thumb for a very good look but what I saw wasn't pretty. SO ...call the DR, not in, no other appts available, the triage nurse says...if it's bled nonstop more than 10 minutes it's the ER for her.

So off to the ER. Three hours later we get in to get motrin and new gauze. Another hour later, we get xray's...mind you my daughter has Asberger's syndrome, a form of autism, and she get to the door of the Xray room and promptly sits down. She looks at me and says..."this is not a good idea". I wrangle her into the room and 20 min later we get 3 not very good xrays of the thumb. Back to the waiting room for another 2 hrs.

Finally we get called back. Get in the room, the dr. comes in for five minutes and 30 minutes later a nurse comes in. It's broken, so she irrigates it, it finally had stopped bleeding after 5 hours, and applies a soft plaster cast. Tomorrow I have to call the orthopedist and make the appointment for the real cast that she will have for the next 6-8 weeks. Okay, casts are a part of childhood, but try a cast on an autistic child that has a water fascination and we will only forsee the doom of a soaking wet cast! I give it 3 days!

Oh and the best part....because I won't be at my job a full year until June 29th, no FMLA so I may be facing termination upon my return. Yep, today ROYALLY SUCKED!
