Worst Monday EVAH!

Seriously hating Mondays ........ Mondays suck big hairy red slimy monkey balls.....  just sayin....

I woke up this morning..... and was getting Kaedyn ready for school - DB got back from taking Kale to work and he ended up taking Bubba out to the bus.  I just curled back up in bed and wanted to die.  I feel like I got hit by a Mack Truck, backed over, run over and backed over again. Then I was hit by a bus.  Then the train came!  Yep, that good.   My muscles and joints are swearing at me and the nausea - OMGosh the nausea can just vacate the premises.... but no, it stuck around all day.

I mean seriously - I look about as dead as I feel!!!  Did I mention that my muscles and joints hate me?

Jaxson too pity on me.  Or .... he punished me further.  Not sure which.

And then the phone call happened.  The one from the property manager.  Apparently - someone reported Jaxson as being a pit bull.  He is NOT a pit bull.  We were told that he was "too big" and then told that he has to leave by tonight.  DB had to go up to the office to get an "official warning" and then we were "unofficially warned" that Kale and Shila had to go.  The thing that is stupid is, the maintenance man and the neighbor - they have Boxer/Husky mixes.  Jaxson is a Boxer, German Shepard, Husky mix.  Yet Jax isn't "allowed" on the property because he's a Boxer and Jax is too big.  Wanna explain the logic there?  We clean up after Jax when he potties, other residents don't.  We keep Jax on a leash - unless he gets out of the door, or I take him off when no other animals or people are around so he can run a bit but usually we go down to the beach for that.  The other residences, including my direct neighbor, and the maintenance guy with the husky and the boxer/husky, and the other neighbor over there with the boxers ... THEIR dogs run off leash ALL THE TIME.... but it's all okay for them.  Then I hear tonight that the maintenance man is dealing????   Yeah...  I kinda hate living here.

But some good news...... at least....

And then the bad news continued ......

Regardless life goes on.  Had to take Kaedyn to his eye appointment.   He did the exam with "dry" eyes and then repeated with the dilation drops in ...  His vision is - or seems - a lot worse than what it was before.

 These bottom two pictures on the right with the letters behind him (they are reflected on a mirror for him to read) ... he struggled reading those.   He has 20/20 vision in his right eye but 20/80 with his left.

So what's this mean for him?   I found this graphic and I know his thing says +2.50 but I assume it would be the same type of thing for the positive spectrum as the negative?

The Social Security Act defines an individual as having statutory blindness with a corrected vision of 20/200 or less. Since the Snellen acuity chart, best known as the eye chart with the large "E" at the top, has no lines between 20/100 and 20/200, Social Security categorizes anyone unable to recognize any letters on the 20/100 line as statutorily blind.

With 20/80 vision, patients are able to see objects at 20 feet away that those with normal or 20/20 vision can see from a distance of 80 feet. The Snellen acuity chart measures a patient's visual acuity, but does not reveal why he is having difficulty seeing. Doctors work with the patient to make this discovery and make the appropriate corrections, according to Ophthalmic Technician.

According to the American Medical Society, all but three states require an individual to have vision corrected to at least 20/40 in the better eye to drive a car. Drivers who require corrective lenses to meet these guidelines have restricted licenses. Federal guidelines for commercial drivers are even stricter than those for non-commercial drivers.

SO Kaedyn needed a new pair of glasses, stronger prescription - so we stopped and got them ordered.  This is what he picked out.

So we got home yesterday and Nate fell asleep - he slept until this morning.  This morning he changed himself.  I didn't see this until tonight when I took off his pull up and he flipped off my bed to go potty.  I don't know when he got it or how or what it's from.  It's on his back, right above/beside his butt crack, he's laying down in the picture.  I have not clue what this could be???  Any idea?  It's about the size of a finger tip (one of mine, not his)  ...  I wanted to run him in because I freak out like that, but figured to just wait and see how it looks in the morning, decide from there.

But - because of his immediate sleepiness yesterday, he didn't get his feed.  So this baby was saved for tonight.  Sucks, he didn't get to blow out his candles.  But he was all over that cake this morning.  

It's been a bad bad day but we're trying to figure things out.  Tonight, Shila took Jaxson over to her mom's and we're going to see what tomorrow holds.
