Back to School

Yes here in Arizona the kids are already back in school.  My girls just finished their second week today.  My days have been nice and quiet once more.  It's amazing how quickly one gets use to eating lunch alone again.  Though my diet isn't great - eating alone I can get use to; cooking for one isn't something I do well.  I prefer to stare at my computer screen, listening to my tummy grumble.  I tell myself I should go fix something to eat, but it's hard when there are no ther voices whining they're hungry too.

The first week back at school I went with my husband to the doctor's office.  Before school began, he visited the ER twice with abdominal pain.  He drove himself there, because someone had to watch the girls.  When he came back the second time looking and feelinf worse than when he left, I told him no more doctor visits without a second pair of ears.  I made a follow-up with the primary doctor and went along.

Well it looks like age and a nine year old surgery is catching up to him.  The doctor thinks hubby has adhesions from his splenectomy.  Apparently adhesions do not show up on CT scans or x-rays, but they can cause abdominal cramping digesting certain foods.  Wonder how he'd survive on the solitary junk food diet of a stay-at-home mom cooking for one?

Yes the school year started August 6th - but remember my girls were on summer break befor Memorial day weekend.

Thanks for the well wishes, Paula. Hubby lost his spleen due to mono. Your spleen can rupture from mono if you are not careful. He's been dealing with health problems on and off since then. We just take things one day at a time.

Veronica,

Wow, your kids are already back to school? We start here in Vermont in about a week and a half and I am ready ;)

Hope all goes well with your husband - that can be scary...
