DYK Thread for August

**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**

DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know

It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members

DYK good morning Alysha...I accompanied my parents to my mom's audiology appt yesterday. My dad was freaking about the logistics since mom still needs a wheelchair (her staples come out this Fri) so I came into work briefly then left to help them out.


DYK apparently one of the chemo drugs can cause hearing loss or tinnitus so that's why the baseline test

DYK my dad is still struggling to accept the situation...he is providing my bro & me w/a good amount of stress in addition to the daily stress from my girls. He's introverted so that's part of the problem; he won't let anyone but immediate family (read my bro & I) help him. I hope over time he opens up more - seriously, his sisters, neighbors, friends etc would be more than willing to help.

DYK Took my kids to the school last night. Met teachers and got lockers, put supplies away.


DYK It helped calm Caleb's fears a bit about going to the middle school.

DYK thanks for your thoughts Christi. Unfortunately, it won't happen anytime soon...he refuses to talk to anyone about it. The most he's done is written his sisters (and both of them lost spouses, one recently to pancreatic cancer) but he refuses to talk on the phone w/them. He's isolated himself, which is a shame....my mom knows him well & is more worried about him than herself in some ways.
