You guys are probably getting tired of looking at my widget so I might ought to post something tonight.  Today was a good day and since I have a lot of bad days mixed in – I am very thankful for the day that I had.  It was the kind of day that I didn’t have anything pressing to do.  I didn’t sleep all that well last night so this morning I “slept in” which for me means I stayed in bed (or the couch) until about 7am.  The boys slept till 8:30 – something they never do unless they stay up too late the night before – which they did.

We did our school work at a leisurely pace.  The boys are doing very well.  I’m especially thrilled at the progress William has made with math.  The curriculum we are using is just perfect for him. Everyday he learns something and ends up saying, “Oh I get this!  This is easy!”  Music to my ears!

I went to see my dialysis nurse yesterday to get the shot that I missed last week during planning rounds (because the boys were sick).  I took a list of things I was concerned about.  They are going to talk to the doctor about me maybe taking something for depression.  I am also getting a referral to see a sinus doctor – something that will change my life if we can figure out my problem.  I also have some sort of bump on my lower back.  I’m thinking it might be one of the cysts on my kidney.  It doesn’t bother me at all but the doctor will look at it next week.  I still deal with restless leg syndrome but if we can get any of the other things taken care of, I doubt that it will bother me THAT much, you know?  All those things at once though can be rather overwhelming at times – especially at night when I just want to go to sleep!  I am thankful that I have my own personal nurse that I can talk to and get results fast!
