I hate PIDD!

[Guest guest]

OK, I usually don't get too upset about this. I have learned to take

quite a bit in stride and keep a positive attitude more often than

not...but I just have to vent. I am SO MAD!

has been on the swim team all summer. We had City Championships

today. In prep for this, we did SubQ yesterday morning, you know,

just to give him that extra " umph. " He had his first yucky day after

SubQ. He has been doing this for 52 weeks. We have never had a

migraine the next day.

He was so excited because the only kid faster than him was out of

town, so he was sitting pretty for first in several events. His head

hurt so bad that he could barely swim. We offered to leave and he

didn't want to mess his team up because he was in a relay at the end.

Coach finally came over and saw him in a chair with his head between

his knees when all of the other kids were playing. He told us to take

him home and scratch his last 3 races.

Grrrr. I am so frustrated because this is the only sport he has ever

done, and PIDD has even ruined that for him. It's just not fair! He

was so excited, only to be let down yet again. It just hurts my heart

for him. I know all of us have these moments, and I'll get over it,

and so will he, but...deadgum!
