Sydney has been going hot and heavy with instructors on live video conferences trying to get the last of his school work done before the summer break. Last day is 5/24/ @ 11pm. With about 10 assignments behind he is trying. I spoke with the counselors and they (the school) may be hiring someone to help Sydney and others like him. They also want to retest him at the beginning of the year to determine exactly where he is in his education. He was and is struggling with his math book that is at a 5th grade and is what spurred that on, that and English. I'm am thrilled that the system is once again working to help him out, I'm happy with the results for my persistence in trying to get him a better education AND have support.
I had a 6 day post-op check up today, doc has ordered physical therapy 3 x's a week for the next 60 days (my next appointment at 6 weeks). Her goal is to strengthen my muscles to help support and deter the inevitable fusion of C4. I was given a prescription for Forteo https://www.hopkinsarthritis.org/patient-corner/drug-information/teriparatide-forteo/ but a prior authorization from BC/BS is needed first. I told doc only thing bothering me was muscles in shoulders making a V into and between my shoulder blades, the baseball that is stuck in my throat still, and a nasty bruise that's tender from a first try miss on the IV. I am off my Percocet and can't get my calcium citrate pills down without choking to the point of not breathing. Oh my, I hacked one up earlier because it wouldn't get pass the baseball. *sigh* Doc said it was soft tissue swelling and might be awhile before it goes down. I have been eating soft foods still and about choked to death on a chocolate animal cookie/cracker. Needless to say my hands have been ready to accept many different foods that wont go down and have to be hacked up like a cat with a fur ball problem. It's about 3" across and starts on top of my esophagus and goes to the right. Looks like Goiter!
Jim was present and I offered to drop him off at home first, but he said no. I was hoping I could just leave him at his place. He sat here at the house for the last six days and didn't offer to help me do anything. He just sat on the couch watched t.v., looked at his girly porn sights on his phone, and slept. I cooked, cleaned, did dishes, laundry, floors, etc....But he took my car to his house a few days to "check" on his place. He just wanted to get away to go smoke, he checked his mail and got the state taxes in and asked me to sign it over so he could go pay his water bill. WHAT??? Didn't offer me a penny and it's still about Jim, nothing changes. An hour away drive is still too close.
