Try being constipated for 5 days because of pain meds, and eating A LOT of fried eggs during that time frame because they're easy to chew.

I thought they were going to have to shut the office down today.

After I broke my neck and was on Vicodin & Percocet for a month, you could have made clay pots that would last a thousand years out of my poop. My god was that terrible.

Cal has been a mess this year at school. I'll spare you a lot of details but it has been killing me inside. It has made so screwed up I even thought that somebody here, that I've considered a GB for a long time, was mad at me. Anyhow, just minutes ago I received an e-mail from his teacher that he told her I beat him. Again. This is the second time this school year he told her that. The worst part is he then said he wants to kill himself. I don't believe this to be true but it is sickening all the same. We are meeting with his doctor tomorrow about changing his meds and another trip to a psychiatrist on Friday. So if you wonder why I've been MIA a lot from here the last month or so, that's why.

TPW for Cal, your family and you GB, I can't even imagine how heart wrenching it must be to hear that.

I have been debating posting about this with all of the difficult things a lot of GMTANers are experiencing. But I really wanted to post this, esp to get Tanner's thoughts, but we have taken our oldest in for neuropysch testing to hopefully help in figuring out what his difficulties with reading/math are. He's in the 4th grade but is reading at only the beginning of 2nd grade level. His math has been close to grade level when he is read the word problems but is starting to slip and he's back in what they refer to as intervention for math and he's been in the reading intervention since 1st grade.

He's having such a hard time but he's working his ### off but not making a lot of progress. We have no idea how to help him, we have had summer tutoring for the last 3 years to try and help catch him up but it doesn't seem to be helping in catching him, just slowing down his falling behind. We meet with the neuropysch next month to get the results, hopefully she'll have a better approach in how to teach him so he understands better.

#### man, sorry. I can't imagine. How old is he again?

I must be horrible at following along with other peoples' lives in here, because I thought your kids were pretty well adjusted.

Is it mandatory for them to send someone to the house due to the beating comments?

 
We are going to start "trying" next month even though I'm looking for a new job in a new city (so is she) and will need to take on new living and moving expenses. What could go wrong?

Good luck, man. Neuorpsychology? What does that mean exactly? Are they looking for a medical reason?

Yeah neuropsychology, it was 3 days of 2.5 hours of testing each day. They are looking for anything related to learning issues, ADHD, Dyslexia, Hyperactvity, etc... I tend to think it's going to be a combo of a few things. He has decoding issues with sounds as well as applying those decoded within a word. He often swaps b/d sounds as well other things that may be mild dyslexia related. It's tough when you can't help your kid with something they really struggle at, especially when you cant even explain it in a way they understand.

Dang, sorry to hear GB. Cal has the opposite problem. He isn't very good at math, even though I did flash cards with him all summer long at night, but reads at a high level. That's part of the problem, he wants to read at school and ignore everything else. I know how you feel and I love you man.

He's 9 and in the 4th grade. Nobody has shown up yet but I think the fact that I wrote a pre-emptive letter about things he says as well as his teacher is friends with some GB's daughter, that helps. Plus last year he told his IEP that we lock him in the basement for days at a time. ( :lmao: ####### #######) He has a history of making things up. I told him tonight that if he keeps saying things like that they will take him away from us. Now that would be horrible.

That's what part of this testing will hopefully uncover. The school will not test or send him out for any testing, they just keep saying they are doing everything they can. We got tired of it with him falling further behind so we had to do this on our own, very frustrating process.

I stopped and put in $7 today.

I saw it for $3.31 and had to stop even if it was to just top off as I had filled up Saturday.

Funny how I thought of Abe

Sometimes those IEP suck balls, and sometimes very unproductive IMO and I love you man.

I would love to hear Tanner's thoughts on the process, but man it seems like the schools (not the teachers) only care about cya.

Schools are mandatory reporters of (alleged/suspected) abuse, but I'd figure the exact procedure varies state to state.

 
Sorry to hear SLB & Hawks. Best wishes to both your boys.

Bobby Sac - my anniversary is coming up soon as well. I've got my second eye surgery that day so I get a valium/versed cocktail and she gets to drive my buzzed ### around for the day. :thumbup:

Damn Bob. Good thoughts and prayers to you and the family. How we live 15 minutes from each other and still have not met I don't know. Anyway, I am sure you have lots or real life friends but if you need to grab a drink I will clear the calendar for you. I hope things work out for Cal and you get it figured out.

 
Sorry, GBSLB. :(

If it makes you feel better, my brother was suicidal and in therapy when he was just slightly older than Cal, and he still lives (at 49) to be an ####### today.

 
Not to dump out more sadness in this thread but my yellow lab who has been the faithful companion for my family for 12 years has a tumor and is now on cancer meds. Was at the vet with him this morning. He has been up in the middle of the night multiple time to go out and do his business. Been losing weight now for 5 months. The vet says the tumor has gotten bigger. I know the end is getting close for him and I hate to think about it.

I felt like we needed to talk to the kids about it last night to try to prepare them some. My youngest was a mess and still starts to tear up and give the dog hugs. I can't stand the thought of having to let the kids say goodbye to him but it is coming soon. It has been breaking my heart all day.

:cry: Sorry.

 
Awful page, this 3028. Sorry to hear about all the struggles of my good buddies, their kids, their pets. Positive thoughts and vibes coming from me, friends.

 
People going through hard stuff doesn't really make me blink a lot. Maybe I'm just a calloused ###.

But when it's people's kids and pets, I get a little choked up

 
On the good news front, my fat dachshund (NOT a euphemism :kicksrock: ) has recovered nicely from spinal surgery to repair (clean out?) a ruptured disc. He was in pretty bad shape, not feeling/controlling his back legs and in a lot of pain. The worst part is knowing that it's entirely my fault. Fortunately surgery was a success and he's running around like a pup. The recovery power of animals just amazes me.
