Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Don't you just hate those kind of days? Just want to crawl back in bed and start all over! Sorry! We are there with you in spirit! Michele Westmaas wrote: I need to scream. Aubrie had speech testing in St Louis this am ( 2+ hours away). We had a winter storm warning last night - school cancelled today - etc. So. I get up at 4:30 am. Snow has stopped. Roads are plowed. Worst of it is north of us, south of us roads are clean. We leave earlier than planned to allow for slow driving. What's some snow when you live in the Midwest, right? After pulling out of the garage, I stopped in the drive to fasten Aubrie's buckle. Sometimes she can do it herself so I give her a chance to do that. I didn't have enough momentum to get over the snowplow piles at the end of the driveway so we got stuck and I had to get DJ to come dig us out. Aubrie is very upset, of course, by this problem. But we get out and we're on our way. Within 5 minutes, I go around a curve, lose control, just can't get it back, and we hit a guard rail - sort of a slow motion kind of thing. I could see it coming and just couldn't stop it. No airbag or anything. No huge jolt - just a crash. Of course, this little bit of area has no cell phone reception for me. Luckily, someone else with another cell carrier stopped and we got help called. While we were waiting to be towed, we saw at least 3 other vehicles swerve around that corner. Van is out of commission for the time being. We have good insurance coverage, rental reimbursement, etc so it's more of an inconvenience than anything. But of course, DJ thinks it's all my fault that I must have been going too fast or am just a terrible driver or whatever. You know. big man stuff. To top it off, we've been working with a dealer to trade the van cuz there are good incentives (0% and all) through the end of the month. How does that work? Will they still give me my full trade when it's all repaired? We were going to shop the dealer together on Sat cuz we are having issues in agreeing on what to get. DJ doesn't understand why there's a $10K difference from the base models they advertise in the paper and the one with all the features that I want. Hmmm. go figure. At this point, I'll just keep mine and nevermind. But it was actually gonna reduce our payments to trade - long story having to do with being upside-down on our last trade-in. Now Aubrie's speech testing is rescheduled for May 30. Guess we should've just stayed home to start with. This is the testing to decide if we're going forward with more palate repairs to try to improve her speech. That's not a decision I want to deal with either. And if we do the surgery, we need to schedule it when school is out as it will require 3 weeks of recovery away from school. So now we'll be in a crunch to make a decision and get it scheduled if we decide to do it. Calgon. take me away.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Michele, I am so glad that you and Aubrie are OK. That must have been terrifying. Tell your husband you love him. That's it. Every time he gets irritated you can say, thanks for showing you care enough to get so irritated, I love you too. Don't say it sarcastically, like I just might, and it could cool his engines! I am also thinking here that maybe it was a blessing that you got into that small accident. Imagine if it were that bad so close to home it could have been worse one as you went north. Someone's watching over the two of you. I love your calgon statement. One of the reasons we bought THIS condo is that it has a Jacuzzi tub in the upstairs bathroom. Now I don't only take a bath I turn on the Jacuzzi (it's an older one but who cares). Plus there's an opening into my bedroom where I can see the TV. I grab a glass of soda, a good book and the channel changer. Add to that I can't hear anyone with all the noise so I am in heaven. Couldn't be better! Here's to thanking that you are all in one piece. You'll figure out the other stuff later.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Michele, I'm so sorry about everything! You need to do more than vent; you need to yell. We missed out on the snow here, but I'm originally from N.O. and just shut down when it comes hard. People - even Andy and - make fun of me, but I just hate the stuff when it involves a car. I guess that's just one of my many hang-ups. I'm really looking forward to hearing about the (now) May speech appointment. Is J. Marsh still the plastics man at Childrens'? I can get you the name of the prosthodontist (sp?) team we used in St. Louis, if you're interested, though I imagine the older, very knowledgeable and kind team members have retired by now. At any rate, their office wasn't that far from Childrens. Just a thought. I hope you've had a few good soaks by now. I'm still trying to figure out how Andy and I can make it to the St. L. meeting if isn't yet settled in her house. Things are such a mess.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 - I'm so glad you didn't have to go far today! I'll bet you hated getting her out in the cold at all. How did the visit go? How're things with the school and insurance? Michele W mom to Aubrie 8 yrs CHARGE, 14 yrs and wife to DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Martha- I don't want to add any more people to the palate surgery decision at this point. I'm already confused. We have the SLCH team headed by Dr Molter in ENT. I don't know the plastics person there. The SLP is well-published in this issue. At Chicago, we have Dr Bauer. And in Springfield, we have Dr Zook. If it still seems confusing after we all review the results in May, then remind that I can get yet another opinion! I hope you get the housing stuff figured out soon. I'd love to hear all the details but I know you'd be posting it all if you weren't so busy doing it all!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 You know, guys, the universe finds a way to take care of us. This was supposed to be a helluva week. We had the dentist an hour away yesterday -- that went well. Then the speech testing today. I was supposed to be at the capitol all day tomorrow and to a staff meeting several hours away on Thursday. Last week was busy too that when it was all added together I would have been running 7 out of 9 days. So... if I would have listened to the signs this morning -- major snow storm, getting stuck in the driveway, and I think I forgot to tell you I puked when waking DJ to unstuck us (figured it was just tired hungry tummy) -- those were pretty strong hints that staying home was a good idea. But... no... I went anyway... So now the day at the capitol is cancelled -- legislators are taking tomorrow off. And Thursday had already been rescheduled to ease my week. Now I have nothing the rest of the week except get ready for taxes, get my head back on straight, talk to insurance, etc. Crazy.
