I have another crazy week coming up. Well, parts of two weeks, but you get the picture. Today I have to leave work early to meet with Marty’s principal about the inevitable absences from school when he gets sick. After all, his immune system is totally messed up and he takes medicines to suppress it. Naturally he can’t fight every bug that goes around school and when he catches something it takes him 3 times as long as most kids to shake it.
Tomorrow morning both kids have orientation at school, then they both see Dr. F in the afternoon. I’m taking the whole day off. That wasn’t so bad when I thought I was working Monday. Well, the X informed me he has a out of town meeting on Monday and can’t take Marty to his infusion. So I’m taking off Monday too. All this, on top of my appointment yesterday with Dr. F, means I’m working 2 half-days out of 4. Yeah, that’s going to mess with my budget.
Don’t you wish you were me? :)
How old was marty when he got JRA? I’ve had JRA for about 6 years now (i got it when i was 9 i think)
He was 11. It started at Christmas in 2008. Perfectly healthy before that. I’ll try to post a brief history soon.
