Hi everyone.
I am OFFICIALLY majorly stressed out!!!!!
I have several crises happening at this present time.
Some may have read on RTH & elsewhere about my daughter's recent dx of a Melanoma at age 26. I had one removed 27 years ago when I was 25 & pregnant with her! My Mother had one removed 2 years ago.
My daughter will be undergoing surgery next week for further excision of the Melanoma site, excision of another suspect mole & Lymph Node biopsy to hopefully confirm it hasnt spread. I will be accompanying her for a specialist review on Monday before the Surgery which is on Tuesday & likely she will end up at home with me for recovery (she doesnt live at home) for the rest of the week.
In addition my Twins & one in particular are in crisis mode with their final year high school studies. It is just coming up to end of the first term in Australia & I am talking to various teachers, trying to work out what to do to help them etc. Doesnt help that the school had refused for the past 5 years to give them extra time accommodations that they are entitled to because of their ADD. Primary school did the right thing & were very helpful & sympathetic. High School very different. I tried & tried but the ONLY thing the school would do is to agree to give them progress reports every term (still had to stay on their backs constantly to get even that mind).
Nor have the Twins been started on Adrenal or Thyroid meds despite being dxed AI, Hashis & HypoT a little less than a YEAR ago. Migraines, stress, sleep, focus has ALL gotten MUCH worse in the intervening time. If Doc doesnt start co-operating soon theres a very real possibility that one or both will fail to graduate & have little chance of qualifying for Engineering at Uni next year.
So I have a lot on my plate. My DH has also just started AI meds & soon to start Thyroid meds. Tax Returns due 9 months ago are still outstanding etc etc. There is more but I wont go into more details you get the gist!
I am feeling the strain & there are a lot of demands on my time due to all the forgoing. I am struggling with focus, motivation, my brain is slower. I am reading posts but have difficulties being on the ball as much as usual.
So if you have posted on forum, or emailed me either by PM, via Yahoo, or RTH please know I am NOT ignoring you but it will take more time than usual to answer.
Thankyou for your understanding.
