RN Yeah, its probably not a bad idea to have at least a chest xray. I'd like to see if my lungs look better after 9 months of not smoking.

RN (or a bit earlier) Dakota felt well enough to go to closing ceremonies. I'm so glad she did, though she's been on the couch since we got home, cuz she was there to hear her name called for the All-Star team. My baby was so excited and so were we!

RN I just got home from the Dr with my 16 yr dd and we finally have an answer to her extreme back pain (since about Oct/Nov). Her back is broken!!! <shaking head> The family is taking turns right now ribbing her... how the he!! do you break your back and NOT KNOW?? We are laughing because it's all turned out well but it could have been a real disaster. It took about six months but the pain has been gradually subsiding the last few weeks and the last MRI shows the ligament has reattached and the fracture seems to be healing. She has to go back to the hospital for another MRI in Sept and that should be the end of it unless the pain surges again in which case.....?

PS Yah Kota!

RN OMG Rissa! I'm so sorry it's taken this long for them to figure that out! No wonder your baby has been in so much pain. Hopefully she continues to heal well!

My friend who was in the motorcycle accident Sunday just got back from the dr and they discovered he's got four broken ribs instead of the two they thought he had. That makes a ton more sense to be than not finding a broken back though. He's in pain, they spotted two broken ribs, might be easy to overlook two more. Isn't like it's a seperate pain in a different part of his body.

Thanks ya'll! Dakota is very excited to have made the team and even more excited that her best friend (who is on a major team, even though she's 10) also made it. I picked up the bf a few hours ago and the girls have been outside playing catch, and pitching and hitting since they got here.

RN, I'm trying to write up a new resume, since I'm a recent grad and all, and wow, I've got NOTHING good to write down about my actual degree fields (like no experience with Biology or Psych at all) LOL

My leadership and volunteer experience looks awesome though

RN that's so sad Rissa, and I hope she won't be in such pain any more.

RN, YAY Dakota! My 10 year old granddaughter is pretty good, too! Even her great grampa says so! LOL

RN have to tell that she also got all A's, and for test scores was in the top 100 students in the state of Michigan! She also won two summer scholarships to the Carnegie center for liberal arts!

Right now, I bet you are so proud, Gracie. Good for her!

Right now, Rissa, that's just crazy to be walking around with a broken back. I hope she heals soon.

Right now, it's turning out to be a funny story she can tell her friends but if you think too much about what could have been? Dang scary. The bone was both broken off the end of the process and also the ligament had been ripped off of the piece. How it managed to heal properly is beyond mine and the doctors belief. How she broke a bone like that and has no thought at all as to how it happened is also beyond comprehension. I can remember the day she told me her back was first hurting and there was nothing physically traumatic that could have been the trigger. The same week though she did have a massive headache. So bad that she was curled up on my couch, sobbing. Her vision was distorted and she was vomitting. I thought she was having a migraine and thought that if advil didn't clear it up I would take her to a walk-in. It did pass that evening and with the backache we just forgot about it. Now I am wondering if the two are connected although it still does nothing to explain how the break happened in the first place.

RN I'm doing the Whoo-Hoo Dance of Joy (not to be confused with the Hustle)(DO-doo- DO-doo doo-di-doo DO doo).

I have a new boss! The old one was a political hire, appointed after my favorite boss ever left to become president of another college. The political hire was so...(trying not to get modded)...ineffectual. The last time I was in a meeting with him, he got up IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MEETING walked over to me, asked a question out loud about the agenda, then after I said the meeting chair would explain, made another comment out loud, and then sat back down. At least he didn't answer his cell phone or fall asleep.

His replacement is someone who applied for the position when he did, but who did not have the political connections. They decided to promote her into the position, and made him Special Assistant to the President in charge of something-or-other. I get along fine with the woman they promoted -- she can be a little overbearing, but at least she has more than a handful of functioning brain cells. It's been two years of frustration trying to get things done under the other guy; we ended up going around him and right to the president to get a decision, but he doesn't have time to deal with piddling stuff.

Whoo-hoo!

RN Neko, that's a good idea. No matter how good your resume looks or doesn't, it never hurts to have someone else take a look at it, especially if they have an idea how to do it so it catches potential employers eyes!

RN I'm so ahead of where I usually am this time of year. I called and scheduled an eye dr appt for Caleb (Aug. 1, 8:45 am,) called sis to see if Kota could spend the night July 31 so I don't have to worry about getting me and Caleb to the dr on time and her to sis'. Then I called and scheduled physicals for both kids (June 27, 10:30.) Caleb needs his boosters and Kota needs a new inhaler prescription and the medication form filled out for school. Most summers I'm waiting til the week before school starts to get this stuff taken care of, lol!

RN - I'm late on congrat's to Kota. Don't count your chickens, Wargod - all-stars is more involved & time consuming than reg. season & I don't know about your area, but it always meant alot of traveling for me & mine. Plus, if they do really well (which you always hope they will), you'll be doing softball right up until school starts.

Rn, I swear I just saw Bunky from BB on Deal or No Deal. The contestant is a hairstylist and the banker dared her to cut his friend's hair. The guy who came out LOOKED like Bunky. I swear it was him!!

RN Deb, I'm actually not as worried about the traveling and how time consuming it is as I am about the fact that we're already into the 100 degree temps and it's only going to get worse from here on out.

Tonight, her regular team had their city series game. The tournament games, surprise to me, have a few different rules. Game lasted an hour+ and two innings longer than normal games. There were quite a few conferences between the umps and the coaches too. From what other parents have told me, all-stars is similar in that regard.

The All-Stars team...I'm not sure how well they'll do. With the city series tournament, we all knew the girls (Kota's regular team) wouldn't go all the way. We have a lot of faith in them, they've all improved so much, but over half our team are 7-8 year olds and new to a minors team while the majority of teams we play are older (more 9-10 year olds) and more experienced. The team we played tonight is almost all 9-10, with 2 kids who are 8. All the faith in the world and the girls spunk and improvement isn't going to stand up against the older, more experienced girls for long.

But, the all-stars team is totally different. The girls are all 9-10, all of them except Dakota (she played t-ball and coach pitch for several years) have played softball for a couple years, two of the girls have been playing on a major league team, so they're more experienced. They'll be pretty even with the other leagues we've played all season, I couldn't even begin to guess how well they'll do.

LOL, really we don't care too much if they lose or win. What we care about is that Dakota loves it, everything from practices to games, she's had so much fun playing and belonging to the team, and that she's one of those very active kids and softball has been sooo good for her. I get tickled pink when I see her trot off to practice or her games and know she's enjoying what is basically 2-3 hours of exercise, lol!

I've been so out of the loop this week, its just surreal. Sorry if I missed any congrats or commiserations!

RN, I'm telling Twiggyish that I swear it was Bunky too! If he had spoken, we would have recognized him even quicker. I remember that Bunky was very hairy. At first, I was so fascinated by the hair that I didn't even notice his face. LOL

RN, I'm watching the Today Show. I don't know what to think about the thong attack story. Holy crap! RN, there's a story about 60,000 bees inside a wall. Yikes!!

RN, for Twiggyish and Mak, I just saw the clip on Jokers, and it was definitely Bunky.
