I tell you! I'm going to have NO TIME to get ready for Carolyn's surgery.
It's scheduled for March 9 and I thought I would have all this time to get ready for it! Instead my calendar is being filled up and I will be lucky to get the house vaccuumed before we leave!
I got a call from the dentist that it was time for my 8 year old's check-up.
I decided to find out when Carolyn was there last, it was nearly her 6 month check-up, so decided to go ahead and schedule her too before surgery. I figured that way if there are any cavities, etc... beforehand best to get them taken care of NOW.
Then her orthodontist just called and we needed to make a consultation appointment for her Phase II of braces. She HAD an appt. March 9 or so I thought but they didn't have a record of it. That worked out I guess since I was going to have to cancel anyway. I won't be having her get braces until at least this summer (after her 3 month restriction period).
I also made appointments for my 8 year old & myself plus I have an implant (actually very similar to a fusion surgery but with your tooth! They put in metal screw, add grafting material and wait for it to fuse!) so I need a 3-month after the thing has been put on to get it cleaned.
On top of that, I have parent/teacher conferences scheduled so I can talk to the teacher's about Carolyn being gone -- it was the only way I could figure out to get everyone on the same page -- trust me HS has been confusing to find out who is supposed to know what.
Then throw in a few more family parties and I tell you -- I will get NOTHING done. On top of all of THAT....the boys have basically been sick. Just your garden variety winter stuff. My 12 year old went to the doctor & was told basically 'croup' with the cough. The other boys haven't had the cough, the little guy has a stuffed nose, the 8 year old had a fever but is fine, now just stuffed up, etc... I have been doing everything in my power NOT to catch anything. Carolyn so far has been OK but she was telling me today how she's super tired (but she did have a super late night last night), I just hope she's not coming down with whatever it is.
On the BRIGHT side -- I don't have time to worry about anything with Carolyn's surgery...I'm too busy to even really think about it.
I did get her a pair of Pooh bear PJ pants made though that I think are coming with us to the hospital as she really likes them. I just need to make the top part, I'm assuming a front button type would be better than pull over? At least that is what I have gathered from reading stuff, those are easier to get on?
