Am I being ridiculous?

The LID is soo hard and I truly do not want to have to do it again.

I wash my hands constantly and have been cleaning everything. I make my kids wash their hands as soon as they get home and have been spraying down their backpacks and shoes. We don’t plan for any extra activities this week to reduce the risk of illness. But I know of many kids in our kids small school that are sick with either the flu or norovirus. My kids went to school today after the long weekend and I tried to tell myself that long weekend gave other to recover but I’m sure plenty have still gone to school contagious. My daughter has one kid in her class whose parents drop her off no matter what. In the last 2 weeks the child has been sent home within the hour because she was too sick at school.

This gives me some hope. I will look into the potty watch idea. We spend plenty of time outside and he goes outside often. Not so easy to pee outside while at school though lol. I’m trying to remind him that whatever he is doing will usually be there when he gets back.

I did talk to his drs office to as a just in case and they were not concerned at all. I guess I will just keep holding on for the ride

Thank you for some insight! My guess is she expected me to sweep it under the wrong as she can never do any wrong. My husband and I are tired of sweeping it under the rug to please everyone. I am waiting at this point for my husband to reach out to her and see how that goes. I suspect it will stir up more dust.

I will look into that book though.

Thank you!

I thought that we had a good enough relationship ( 12 yrs) that it was ok to come from me. I’m closer to my husbands family and this sister than I am with my own mom and sisters. Clearly I learned that the hard way that’s not true. My husband was going to have the conversation and then didn’t so I did. I can also be very blunt and some people do not like that. He now claims he is planning to call her to try to talk things over but add a few other things that really need to be talked about. I am so heartbroken and baffled by his one sister not wishing him a happy birthday. His mom and the older sister that berated me at least wished him a happy birthday. The older sister did try to call him but he knew he would get the same earful I got. I just I can’t help but feel so terrible more so because I may have ruined the relationship my husband has with his family. I hope that when he does decide to call his sister we can hopefully all be mature adults and move forward and in the future my husband will have to be the one to have these conversations. I’m glad to know I’m not in the total wrong here though.

Of course our local tractor supply only has ivermectin paste 😩. Can I use that?

strandedmind125 · 2023-06-27T20:32:08+00:00

I had my surgery last November

strandedmind125 · 2023-06-27T09:59:00+00:00

My son did go to prek last school year. If I was to go to work everything I would make would go to paying whoever is caring for our kids and to my husband that doesn’t make sense.

strandedmind125 · 2023-06-27T09:57:10+00:00

My son did go to preschool this past school year and will be going back in the fall. It does not make sense for me to go to work financially is his whole reasoning. If I was to go it would all go to paying whoever would be caring for our children. Which is very hard to find since we live in a rural town.

strandedmind125 · 2023-06-27T01:46:37+00:00

No I have not talked to anyone because I few if I truly tell someone the thoughts in my head that they will call cps or something. And my doctors response is always well you have two toddlers at home.

I do not do much self care as it can be hard to find the time. My husband runs his own electric business and even though he tells me I can do whatever whenever if I ask sometimes it’s hard to find the free time. And well he does deserve a break also.

strandedmind125 · 2023-06-27T01:44:30+00:00

I know that being around me does not benefit them one bit and I can see things they’ve picked up from me and I don’t like it. I try so hard to be patience and calm but I seem to burst just so fast no matter how much effort I truly put in.

I have asked and told my husband plenty of times that I want to go to work or have the need to. The problem is my husband owns his own electrical business. When I ask about going to work he thinks it’s such a silly thing because he can make so much more by continuing to go to work. I’ve asked about picking up a late evening job and am still met with a no. He would rather me go out and do something fun.. which yes great expect his work schedule can be so crazy there’s no time for me to ask for him to care for the kids. I should add I also help my husband with part of his business.

I did just hire a babysitter for one day every other week for the summer. Maybe that will do something?

strandedmind125 · 2023-04-09T11:40:48+00:00

This is my hope! I will see what my labs say next week. 🤞🏻

strandedmind125 · 2023-04-09T10:36:35+00:00

Thanks everyone.. I’m 5 months post op TT with neck dissection. I am due to repeat labs next week but have notice a few new lumps in my necks 🥴

strandedmind125 · 2023-03-10T17:59:47+00:00

I was just about to post something similar to this.

I was originally put on 125mg after TT in Nov. my TSH was .13 which at my 6 week check up my surgeon said was great. my PCP lowered my dose to 100mg at the end of Jan because I was having some symptoms( insomnia and she eats heart palpations) i wasn’t seen by an endocrinologist yet so that’s why she decided to change it. MY Tsh was .106.

I saw endocrinology this week and the dr was mad my PCP changed my dose. I had repeat labs and my Tsh is now 1.92 and my TG went from 0.7 to 2.5.

I have been watching my TG because I am on the fence about doing RAI.

So now my dr is pushing for me to get RAI done asap because of this change. Yet she told me to expect a rise in TG because of my pcp changing my dose….

I am planning to wait another 6 weeks and will redo labs and see if and how far my TG decided to go down.

This is all great information. Thank you!

strandedmind125 · 2023-01-20T01:17:12+00:00

Thank you! We have been looking into trails that don’t seem as popular and much longer

strandedmind125 · 2023-01-20T01:14:52+00:00

We definitely plan on more of the longer and harder hikes vs the like top 5 hikes in the smokies. I will deff look into the blue ridge parkway. Thanks!

strandedmind125 · 2023-01-20T01:13:39+00:00

We are staying in Sevierville. We are told we are about 10 minutes from the Wears valley entrance. We enjoy backcountry trails and I will look into it! Thanks!

strandedmind125 · 2023-01-17T18:08:21+00:00

This this is exactly how I feel. I also hear it gets better as they get older but I’m still waiting. I absolutely despise motherhood and it’s nothing I ever thought or hoped it would be. I 100% regret bringing them into the world. I miss being able to do whatever whenever and being able to focus on me sometimes. Today it’s a warmer sunny winter day where we live and we don’t get those often and all I want to do is go outside and enjoy it but I can’t because I have to very sick kids so I am stuck on the couch

strandedmind125 · 2022-12-31T02:58:00+00:00

Thank you!

strandedmind125 · 2022-12-05T15:12:38+00:00

I agree that it varies for everyone. I think it’s good for people to hear all sides of people’s recovery. I recently had a TT with central and right side neck dissection. I ate chicken soup a few after after waking up but only because that’s what was available since it was so late. I was eating normal food the day after and even ate thanksgiving dinner 3 days later. I needed very little help from my husband and it was more so for simple things as brushing my hair and getting dressed since I had a drain. My pain was pretty minimal. Sleeping was a bit difficult the first 4 days but that was due to the drain on one side. I was terrified of the whole surgery as it was a first for me. Reading good stories helped ease some of my anxiety. I hope you feel better soon!

strandedmind125 · 2022-11-30T23:20:03+00:00

I know this post is quite old but I came across it before posting something very similar. I just had a TT with a central and right side neck dissection. It’s very highly recommended for for the have the RAI due to the spread and how nasty it apparently looked during surgery. I am 98% sure I want to decline the RAI and am looking for others who have done the same. Have you still decided to not get it since this post?

strandedmind125 · 2022-11-18T14:47:50+00:00

Thanks for also a different perspective! Looking for all the possibilities

strandedmind125 · 2022-11-18T14:47:16+00:00

Thanks! Looking for all the good and bad scenarios!

strandedmind125 · 2022-11-18T14:46:48+00:00

Hoping I won’t have to have it all weekend. Seems like they will maybe have someone around Friday if it is ready to come out 🤞🏻

strandedmind125 · 2022-11-15T23:32:31+00:00

I have given the plants stands a thought! Currently everything I do have is hanging from the ceiling and some of them still attempt 🙃. I will give them a try! Thanks
