Maybe a few months to get himself feeling better (antidepressants?) and you keeping him up in his studies will be enough to get him back on his feet and feeling better about school.  I bet the school would be willing to help you with this (maybe even have a tutor come to the house a few times a week) if you speak to the right people.

Good luck to you, mom! 

recently I have experienced both sides of this aspect.  In January I was hospitalized for asthma by my then family physician.  I had been to him 3 times in the month before that with problems but he made no effort to adjust meds, etc.  About a month later, he walks into his office and tells his staff today is your last day. I'm closing the office. 

I got strep throat and went to a different doctor.  She was absolutely the best.  She looked at ME while she was in the room, not at the chart or her PDA in her hand (like the first doctor used to do).  She talked to ME.  Asked ME questions and answered any I had.  asked about allergies (which I have many). The first doctor tried to give me medicine I was allergic to (and he had been told multiple times).  Two weeks ago I was hospitalized through the emergency room with another asthma attack (brought on by the flu).  My new doctor sat down beside me in the room. Talked to me.  Got a very detailed history.  Explained what tests she was going to do.  Explained the results of what tests had already been done.  Told me she was going to refer me to a pulmonologist to evaluate if my meds need tweaking.  Even asked me which one I preferred based on how my insurance would pay.   I have only seen her in the office twice and then while hospitalized and I already feel more at ease and reassured that 2 years of using the other doctor. 

Also, at work this past week a patient was admitted after lunch.  Because the patient had missed the noon meal, the PHYSICIAN went to the cafeteria and bought lunch for the patient and took it to him.  Now THAT is a physician that cares about the welbeing of their patient!

I wish all doctors could be like these two - both of them female!  Maybe it has something to do with our nurturing instincts! 

It does not matter if you do QA or greet people at Wal-Mart, if you don't care it is time to find something else to do.

It isn't just about you that QA makes these changes.  QA is doing their job to their employer's expectations.  Either take it as constructive criticism or leave, but don't make someone else pay for your lack of concern.  Having done everything in a medical office from scheduling appointments to transcription to bill collection, I can honestly say that quality matters - it matters to someone, somewhere - and if you are not in that loop, please for the rest of us that still care even after close to 30 years of this business, please, please take yourself to someplace you can be happy.

I do not agree with every nick-picking change QA makes, but I don't dwell on it or stop caring.  I keep plugging away at doing the best job I can.  I am doing something where I make good money and feel like I have an impact on patient care without having face-to-face patient contact or co-employee issues that come with working on-site.

So, go, shoo, get, go on now.  Let me have your work.

I have 2 big tupperware egg plates, so I can get them done and overwith tonight because I think I'm going to have to do all the rest of the food now....geez...it will be all worth it though, it's twins!

Again, thank you all so much!

Thanks so much!!! I needed this, too!!! What a great resource!!! God bless!

I will be starting to use Shorthand. I have seen conflicting answers as to yes you can convert to ShortHand and no you can't. I am not real puter savy. I saw directions, but I would rather start from scratch than attempt what they say to do. This will help very much.

Have a great evening.

I took care of my mom briefly full time before she died last year and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do.  At the same time it was a blessing because we got very close - closer than we had been and we had been very close already.

You're not alone in your struggles. You'll make it through and your mom will have an easier transition because of your help. 

respect for her.  I've been that mom and have only one child, a son, who also knows what I went through to provide him with everything I could inspite of the fact that his now dead father had a portfolio of over 2 million dollars, but hid his assets very successfully.  His father would never pay child support or keep up insurance on my son, would bring lawsuits against me from time to time to try to get custody of our son; he even "kidnapped" him one time and did not return him for three months!!  My now dead ex knew all these things would make me spend even more money and time away from work to deal with those issues. 

However, when our son was with him, he would give our son a minimum of $100.00/day just for whatever he wanted, took off to all places in the world, Israel, France and Spain and once a month they'd go to the Bahamas or Bimini.  This was my X's way of trying to undermine our son's love for me.  Guess what???   It did NOT work!!! 

And some people have the nerve to say not to donate to the Red Cross because of not being sure of where the donations are going. Shame on FEMA.

Keep those donations rolling.  We had some little kids who set up a roadside lemonade stand a few towns away from us and they made $50.00 to send to the Red Cross.  Isn't that sweet?

Our local firefighters were out in Wal Mart parking lot holding up their fire gear boots. No signs or anything. We knew what they were doing. Sure I only had a couple of dollars to stuff in a boot, but if every person entering Wal Mart even put in a quarter, it would make a big difference.  What really shocked me was the amount of people that just walked by.

you replied with Peace out, & I replied with guns-a-blazin'...what the heck did I do, forget that great thread from yesterday  

my bad...*sigh*
