Lots of medical stuff

First, I need to send out my deepest sympathies to Chelsea's teacher's aide. Her 22 year old son died yesterday of pneumonia. Very sad.



Second, my deepest sympathies to my Aunt Therese whose mother is not well. Hospice is taking over her care.





Third, my Uncle Dick has been having a lot of small seizures. I really like my Uncle Dick and Aunt Aurora though I never talk to them. They are very nice people so I am sad for them.

My sister got her BRCA genetic testing done yesterday. So I said well, what did the Dr. say? Lisa said she said "S*** Lisa!" then she looked at your genetic test and said "S*** Andrea!" She said she had never seen numbers that high before. Leave it to me to an unprecidented numbers. She will get the results in about 10 days. I sincerely hope and pray she is negative. What a fantastic result that would be. It would put everyones mind at ease. No question!


My Mom goes in tomorrow to see the Dr. at Stanford for her pre-leukemia. I am looking forward to see what he says.

Josh went in this morning for speech eval through the school. Well, yea. They were all very nice but I could hardly understand them. Josh and I were the only English speakers in the room (including the 3 teachers). Then about 15 minutes later two total drug addicts walk in chomping and snapping their gum. I think they were trying to peel the gum off their lip and tongue piercings. They were so amped up on drugs they couldn't shut up or hold still. UGH! I still love Buckeye and it is still heads and shoulders above what Wildomart was. But I think I am going to look into what I can do to get the kids into private school or get out to Verrado.
So they said Josh is too young still. They want me to come back after Feb. That is fine with me. I need to figure something else out anyway. I am not sure how you can be a speech therapist if no one can understand you.
Which reminds me of my Chem class as an undergrad. OK this is funny. My lecture professor was from Germany and my lab instructor was Japan. I could not understand either of them. I ended up dropping both classes because not only did they teach totally differently but they said things totally different from each other and from me. LOL!

Sounds like Thing 1 and Thing 2 are up.
I will try to get on later.

Wow with all the medical stuff! Sounds like you have a lot going on there. Hope your sister's test turns out negative!

Thanks for your well wishes on my blog about my husband, he is recovering pretty well and should be coming home on Friday.

And I'm with ya on teachers needing to be able to speak understandable English. I called the Kumon Learning Center to enroll my daughter in their math program because she needs some help, so I called the one closest to my house and got the answering machine and could not understand a word the lady said. So, I called one just a little bit further solely due to that fact...I'm like, if I can't understand this person how is my daughter going to understand what they are teaching her.

And I also have a funny story, but mine is about an old boss I had about 10 years ago. He was from India, and he had a pretty thick accent still and they transpose their "W" and "V" sounds...so one day we were having our staff meeting and he said "Do you think they take Wisa at the D-M-Wee?" I almost peed my pants.
