Update, and other things.

Wednesday, July 04, 2012

Still no REAL update on the insurance thing. I'm still grateful that he and my son will get insurance, I'll make do with something - and for the questions regarding the generic/cost/all that about the medications, yes, there's a generic available but it's still pretty spendy. And while I might be able to spring for it every month, the doctors appointments I need to get re-prescribed (yes, it's been that long) is not something I can even begin to afford.

ANYway. What I wanted to discuss right now is me pulling myself from the Surfer's team for the HLC Summer Challenge. I joined two challenges, one was that, the other was the 5% challenge, and I can only do one. Seeing as I joined the Cats first, I'm sticking with that one.

In addition, the internet's been a bit spotty with the weather being crazy (a tree blew through our back fence! Augh!) and my son... well. My son.

My son is having attention issues. His daddy was diagnosed and medicated for ADHD as a child, and so his mother and I are worried about my son being SO much like him. He's having impulsivity problems, he isn't learning his letters the way he should be no matter how much we practice, and so I've been spending a lot of my free time with him, working on the stuff he needs. I'm trying to avoid prescriptions for him, if that's the case, and I'm trying to prepare him for kindergarten.

So. I may not be as active, but I'm here. I'm not as downtrodden as I was the other day. I admit I'm also not focussing as much on eating the way I should, and exercising in this HELLISH heat. But I'm not giving up. :)

    As HELE_LANAKILA said not giving up is half the battle. You know, it's okay to sometimes take a few steps back and regroup. This heat has been brutal and quick frankly it makes it hard to think when nothing is going on. Know that we are thinking of you and your little boy today.

    Best of luck to you with your son's ADHD. My 19 year old son has it and we've been struggling with it for over 15 years. It is a very tough road for everyone.
I'm glad you are doing better emotionally but hope you can also find some relief with your insurance problems.
Take care of yourself!

    Not giving up is half the battle. You can do this, you can.

    no problems I understand the frustration of no insurance, I am in the same boat, and my homeopathic remedies are so expensive, but I cannot do without them because of the pain
hope things get better for you soon!!!

    Good for you to take some pressure off by dropping one of the challenges. Better to be able to focus on one and succeed than spread too thin and fail at 2. That would be one more thing to stress over. Not worth it.
