A GOOD day!

Before the holidays, I phoned the urologist's office to tell them of the neurosurgeon's diagnoses (of an occult tethered cord) and to ask if the urologist think we should continue with the botox (scheduled for 22 January) or not. They only came back to me today, to let me know that the urologist says no, we must cancel the botox! (Yay!!!) I'm very relieved! I was dreading the whole botox thing, since it is such a schlep. We have to ask the in-laws over to help (which they are more than willing of course, bless them) so that we can leave 2 sleeping boys in their care while we're off into the city (about 40 minutes drive) at 5:00am. By 7:30 she would've gone to theatre, since it's done under general anaesthesia. Out of sympathy for our fasting daughter, neither me nor her daddy usually eat or drink anything. Which, given my low blood sugar problem, is just terrible for me. I get all confused, jittery, anxious, feeling ill. Put the stress of your daughter under anaesthesia while feeling like that, and it's a bad combination. So, I'm very relieved we're postponing indefinitely! Hoping that we'll never need it again, but knowing that realistically we're just postponing for a few months. I'm very good with rather postponing the inevitable, than facing it head-on.

Second good thing of today...As you can see, I made smileys work in my blog!  :))   =D>

I feel so good about it! It's the one thing of work that I really miss. Feeling that rush of satisfaction when you figured something out while programming. I miss that.

So, I'm really happy today. :)  I know, it seems like something simple. But I've gotten used to having emoticons convey my feelings over, more than words can do. I participate in a parenting forum where I'm a very active member (hmm...something tells me that's THE understatement of the year :p )  In this forum, we regularly use emoticons, so since moving the blog over to blogger, I missed being able to use smiley emoticons in my posts. Well, after a little google, a little programming (REALLY little...hahaha...it only consisted out of copy and paste!) I can now use emoticons in my posts. I'm not sure if this will work on all browsers and platforms though. So let me know if anyone has a problem with them?
