It has been a while since I posted. I have been pretty busy starting class, working, and being with the family. I am starting college again for my RN Degree, and am really enjoying it. Doing something for myself, that in the long run will be for the family too.
I am somewhat speechless lately. Not sure what to write about or who I am writing it for. Am I writing for me as an outlet of feelings, frustrations, joys, and sharing? Or am I writing for someone or something else? I don't have many followers, but the ones that do care to read what I write, are awesome.
I am in a state where I am analyzing a lot lately. I got the results of my recent MRI back and they weren't what the Dr. nor I were hoping for. Looks as though I will be having brain/neck surgery in the near future. About 50% of my spinal fluid is being blocked from the Chiari right now and they need to get in there and fix it all. I asked him point blank, how bad is the surgery, what amount of time are we looking at in the hospital and in recovery mode. He advised it is a very painful surgery and I will be in the hospital for about 3-4 days. Then I will be out of work for about 4 weeks. This means that I have to postpone attending next quarter. Pushing my degree back yet another 12 weeks at least. I will be out of work with little income while I am out. So now the choice of how we will live with a smaller income and still provide for Christmas this year. Things are tight as it is, now this adds just a little more stress. I will wait until I am done with this class, so we are looking at late November at least, but I want it to be long enough before Christmas, that I am not in bed all day instead of being a part of it.
Anyway, that is a tidbit of what is going on. I am scared shitless and am not sure what else to say about it all.
