Crips.. who said that trouble with a capital T which rhymes with P and that stands for Poo..is correct...

it started monday when I got home from running around and a really good phone call from "The company" that has agreed to pay me all my back bonuses ..but just from Oct 2007 to present.  I'll take it since it's about 10K.. I'm OH so very happy..

..until I got home.. only to find that
I had a letter from the IRS.. so after 30 minutes of literally staring at it and rocking back and forth in my chair.. I got the courage to open it.. it's an address verification which cannot be good.  No good comes from the IRS want to verify an address that they already HAVE. 

Tuesday:  Got a call from Spud's dr. who said that his dad and I need to come in and go over the last lab results.. This does NOT bode well due to the fact that if it is GOOD news they give it to you over the phone.. bad news they make you wait until 1030am to go in person.. This is was his 1 year check up.. yes it has been a year in august since his operation to remove the scar tissue..but instead of losing the excess weight..he's put on probably 30-40 more pounds.
Tuesday night:  got an email that both my booth partners are pulling out for this weekends show.. so I'm stuck with the entire $$ amount but NO worries.. I've solved that issue so i'm waiting for #3 to drop.

we went to the dr's today for a consult over the lab results.  The fact that he'll be 18 in October is something we have to always bear in mind when dealing with this stuff since it seems the medical profession has an immediate cut off for parental knowledge after that age. 

Anyway the results are mixed.  HIs hormones are all out of whack.  I've known this for a few months.  He had a terrible outbreak of acne and has put on 40+ lbs.  The dr wants to change his meds but wants him to have a CAT scan first to make sure all is ok in the brain area. 

Also he's grown another 1/2 inch and is now growing into a size 18 shoe.  I'm so hoping it's correctable by the meds because the last thing I want is to go through those days in the hospital again with him.. laying there looking like a corpse. 

We called to schedule the CAT Scan but nothing is available until mid August.. However I called back to the nurse and she's going to get him one sooner.  I'll probably be schleping him.  IF and only IF he is scheduled for surgery .. I want it to be like on a Tuesday so his dad can be there the 1st 48 hours.
