I'm back online

I switched phone companies and when I did that, it knocked my internet out. I had to call them last thursday to get it back on and they claim they could not get to it until today. I had to get another line for my DSL, butttttt he used the line I had the phone hooked to. So now I have a cord running from the box outside to my phone. I think that man was thinking the phone company I switched to uses the internet, because he was talking about voice over something. I spent all afternoon trying to get things straight.
My neighbor said she did the same thing last year and they messed hers up to she had to call them back out to her house. I only have 2 phone jacks in the house, so one of them is going to have to be used for internet and the other one needs to be used as the phone. I was all confussed and still am. I can't keep that cord running from the outside in through the back door. What a mess.

O Me

Now my telephone has been cut off, and I don't think I will have the money to get it back on for a while. I have signed up with dpi for phone service. It's a lot cheaper than my phone company. But they will not have it turned on for at least 7 days. Wonder how I am suppose to get calls about a job with no phone?

I put in a application online at a place the Employment Security Commission gave me. I did that last thursday. The man at the Employment place said to give it a couple of days and then call them to see if they got the application. Well I called them yesterday and the woman that I was suppose to talk to, I did not get to talk to, it went to her voice mail. I called 2 times yesterday and she did not call me back. So I went to Mama's to call her again today, I still did not get to speak to her, it went to the voice mail. This time I left my Mom's phone number.
The Employment place gave me the name of a Vocatioal Rehabilitation place they assess you and train you for a job. The woman I talk to said they train handicap people. She wanted to know what my handicap was, I told her I have psoriasis and I use to be a hair stylist, but I can't do it anymore because of my psoriasis. It makes me itch and so does hair. And I told her I can not work around chemicals. She accepted me, I have a appointment on April 1st. I'm suppose to bring my doctors name and address, and some other things, can't remember what, but she said I will get a letter in the mail. I sure hope they can help me. I had told the man at the Employment office that I had went through there dislocated workers program about 18 years ago for cosmetology. They must not have that any more because he wanted me to call the Vocational place. He said they train you. I had told him I was going to take medical transcription at the Community Collage but it cost to much money. And I could not get help with the payment because what I wanted to take was a certificate program. O me maybe one day soon I will have a job.

Happy Birthday Casey

Today would have been Casey's 15th birthday. If he had of been here I just can't believe he would have been that old. I am taking this birthday a lot better than last year, because he died almost a month before his 14th birthday. Also last year Easter was a day after his birthday. In all his life I never remember Easter being so close to his birthday. He loved Easter, because he loved to hunt Easter eggs. He was always so good at hunting them, he always got the most eggs, even when he was little at the day care, they said he got more eggs than the other kids. I would bet if he was still here as old as he would be I think he would still want to hunt Easter eggs. He wasn't much on trick or treating.
This one they were hunting eggs in the front yard.

I have more but they are not scanned into my computter. Holidays were really important to him. I even have pictures of his birthdays. His 13th birthday I did not make a big deal out of it, he had school that day, I just invited his friend and his friends family over and we had hot dogs. I can't find the picture of his last birthday. I'm not sure if it is here on the computer or if I have it as a picture somewhere. I wanted to post it, because his friends Mom could always make him blush. It was a good picture of him blushing. He was kind of shy, I thought. But the kids said he could always make them laugh. So maybe he was not shy around the kids. I know he always kept on making us laugh here at home. Just like when he was five, I had said I needed to wax my car. He spoke up and said "good I can clean my ears out now". I had to laugh at that and tell him it wasn't that kind of wax. It took him awhile before he could talk, but when he did start talking he did not stop. I think he was close to 4 before he started talking. Well I will post this now and go look for that picture. Happy Birthday Casey, love you much. I found the picture, after I remembered where it was, I went right to it.

It was with all the pictures that my daughters had gotten up for the furneal home. They made a cd of Casey's life and played it the night the vistors came. I think we got a couple of copies of it.

Husband went to work

Well we got my husband to SC, we thought we were going to have to go back and get him. The doctor was not going to pass him to drive. So my husband had to call the gene doctor to get him to fax a paper to that doctor. After the doctor got the paper and read it, he passed him. That was a big relief. It felt like a big weight was lifted off my shoulders.
Yesterday I went to the Employment Security Office trying to get help finding a job or going back to school. I still want to get into doing office work in the medical field. I would like to do medical transcription. He gave me one job to fill a applaction online I did that. He also told me to call Social Security to try to get a work and salary history. I called today, but the woman said I had to pay for it. I ask how much, she said for 1 year it was 15 dollars. She thought up to 5 years would be up to 40 dollars. I said I would have to forget that. But instead the woman helped me with the years. I worked at one place that I thought was 2007 come find out it was in 2005, I did not think it was that long. Man time sure does fly. He also gave me a place to call that it's called Vocationl Rehabilitation he said they could test me and see what kind of work I can do and they will also train. Sounds like things are beginning to look up. Maybe I will have a job or do some kind of training soon.
I just want to stay busy now, I do not like staying at home anymore. All that is here are my dogs and cats. That's all I have to take care of now.
These are pictures of 3 of my critters, I can't find one of my other dog.

Husband going to SC

Well my husband is going to try to go back to driving a truck. I have to take him to Sparkenburg, SC. He will have to be a rehire, because his medical leave ran out Feb.21. Since he was not ready to go back to work by then it was like he quit.
I had a interview with Wal-Mart but never heard anything out of them, they kept saying they would call, that was a month ago. I saw in the paper today they had charged 3 people with Larceny by employee. I think that is a shame, they hire somebody that stole from them and they did not hire me who would not steal from them, I just want to work.
We have had rain for the past 4 days it is getting very depressing, I have been thinking more of Casey since this rain has been around. Hopefully tomorrow will be pretty it is suppose to be in the 60's. It has been cold with this rain.
Saturday my sister-in-law gave me a notebook with recipes, she wanted me to type them up for her. She had gotten them from her ex-mother-in-law that lives in W Virgina. I got 6 typed up and sent to her, but did not feel like doing any today. I have not done much at all today, I guess it is the rain. Well I guess this is all I know for now.

Doctor appointment

Well my husband had another appointment with the gene doctor. They called last week and said he does have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. When we saw the doctor he said he did not see why he could not live a long life with care looking at my husbands Mom. My husbands Mom is 69. She out lived her 2 brothers and a sister. My husband can resume a normal life, but certain things he can not do. For one he can not lift weights to try to build up muscles. He can lift weights to keep his strenth up, he can't do a hobby that might hurt him. He will have to wear a medical braclet or necklace to warn of the EDS.
Our daughter with the baby needs to be checked to see if she has it. I'm hoping she does not have it. She does not have the features of having EDS. She has a round face like mine.
We ask about Casey, cause I told the dr, I had noticed Casey's face getting long before he died. We showed him a picture of Casey. He said Casey had EDS. When he looked at his picture he said Casey's chin would have started going in like his Dad's. This is Casey in 2006-2007. The second picture is 2007-2008 they were taken in the fall.


The dr said the narrow bridge in his nose is a feature of the diease. He said his chin would have started going in to. I ask about the arota dissection, because I had read on the EDNF site that EDS does not cause those. The doctor said it does. He said not to take what I read on the internet seriously, cause most people that write on the boards and stuff have really bad syptoms. My husband has went this long without any trouble, so his is not so bad. My husband is 44.
I don't know in a way I wished this had of happened before Casey died, then we could have know to watch for things. But then if Casey had not have died he might at some time go through the things my husband has went through. And Casey would have had trouble with his teeth. I still miss Casey, but I would not have wanted him to have the troubles that EDS causes. He was saved from all that. I love you Casey and am looking forward to seeing you again.
