Hello again everyone.
I have been silent for a while lately. I have gone through physical therapy, and am continuing. I had a recheck at the orthopedic on Monday, he says, "No surgery!" He seemed as happy about the fact as I was. My symptoms have greatly improved, and the pain is minimal when it occurs. I am now back to working full duty, and have applied for a non-clinical position in my company. I think I could handle marketing for Hospice to physicians offices without much risk to re-injury. If I get it, it will also mean a slight raise. Around $5,000 a year. I am not applying for the money, but it sure would help. As for my son, he is enjoying his summer, secure in the fact he will be going to 7th grade in the fall. He will, however be repeating the same math class. He did not do well enough to move on to Algebra, so he will be taking pre-Algebra again. He doesn't see the point, but I explained it to him this way: "There is no other math class on the same level. You are capable of doing the work, but you chose not to turn in the assignments. Now that you know what is expected of you, you should have no problems sailing through that course next year." It didn't seem to phase him, but then again he is only 12. He is still the center of the universe in his opinion. Hope all is well with everyone. Just wanted to update those who have been reading about us. Those that haven't, sorry for wasting time...or is that memory...or bytes...or...ah forget it. Anyone wanting more info, feel free to ask. I try to be open and honest, although I have been known to get defensive. Take care everyone. Betsy -- Meddle not in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup. |

I'm glad that your back is feeling better and that surgery is no longer in the future!!!! Woohoo!!!!! You are nver a waste of bytes honey.... *bri Well considering the topics being covered lately...nope, not gonna talk about it. Not my subject, not my issue, not my problem. I have enough of my own. Hopefully things will settle down with my son soon now. Oh. BTW. On Saturday I went to this group hypnosis seminar, and I quit smoking...FOUR DAYS so far...keeping fingers crossed it sticks. Nothing else has. Betsy -- Meddle not in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup. |

be going to 7th grade in the fall. He will, however be repeating the same math class. He did not do well enough to move on to Algebra, so he will be taking pre-Algebra again. He doesn't see the point, but I explained it to him this way: "There is no other math class on the same level. You are capable of doing the work, but you chose not to turn in the assignments. Now that you know what is expected of you, you should have no problems sailing through that course next year." It didn't seem to phase him, but then again he is only 12. He is still the center of the universe in his opinion. Well if it is any consolation my 15 year old who tests in 99% on Iowa Basic Skills in Math (that means he is higher than 99% of those who take the test) had failed math for the last couple of years because of not doing the work. Now he has some other stuff going on to add to that, but in his summer school class there were a lot of boys, very smart, failed because of not doing homework. I dunno if it makes you feel any better to know that seems to be a thing with boys that age...but there you have it.

I have been told Sixth grade is very difficult for boys, more than for girls. I don't really know, my adolescence was hell itself. Thanks for the pep talk though Joelle.
