We are now the proud owners of a pool table. It also is an air hockey table, but it needs a new motor. Then...it has a top you put on it, and it's then a ping pong table. The whole thing is in the room that is supposed to be our formal dining room. It fits beautifully. And nicely fills up what is otherwise totally wasted space.
We acquired the pool table from a friend of mine who is returning to her home country. Great we got a pool table, bummed that my friend is leaving. So goes the ex-pat life.
Now, for the other bits....
Munchkin #2 has an appointment with a Germany based pediatric rheumatologist within the next week or so. We're really hoping she's a great doc. Munchkin #2's wrists were very painful last night. The problem we are having besides seeing our kid in pain is that we don't know what is a 'normal' pain level for a kid with rheumatoid. Do we push the docs? Do we just keep her as comfortable as possible with heat packs and ice packs? We don't know what 'normal' is anymore.
We're hoping that between this new doc coming into town and with Munchkin #2 getting to hang with other kids this summer who have RA, we'll be able to learn what 'normal' is supposed to be.
So...we're all hopeful right now.
Munchkin #1 should finish with his final exams this week. Then, 'la la time' at school begins.
BTW, the way our cat Max looks in today's snap kinda sums up how we're all feeling. It is so time to take a rest.
Peace.
