Not again

Well, went to the doctor Friday and may have to have another surgery. It will be the second one for the same thing, and I am not looking forward to it. I don't know yet what I will do about school when I get it, but hopefully it will be a one night stay in the hospital and back home. Since I will not be able to work for 2 weeks after the surgery, I will be home and not have to miss class. The only thing that I "may" miss is the seminar. It is an Umbilical hernia repair, which I had done in November 2008, but when I went back to work after 9 months, I strained myself, which I knew better. Now I learned my lesson, and when I go back to work after this one, I will "not" do what they want me to do, and that is, "push & pull" hospital food carts down a hallway with carpet, which by the way, can weigh up to 100lbs.

This time, my health comes first and the unthoughtfulness of people at work, will come second..

Till, next time...God Bless..

My Challenges

I have had many challenges in my life, which started with almost dying in '2004, and taking five months to be able to come back home. I knew things had to change, or should I say, I knew "I" had to change. I was diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the Liver, which was caused by many years of alcohol abuse, 'no' drugs, but enough booze to sink a battleship.
When deciding to come back to school, I was laid off and down in the dumps. After two months of not working, and not wanting to get depressed, to lead me back to my old ways, also not knowing what I was going to do. With no jobs to be found, due to the economic state; I went online to look for an online school that I could maybe attend. That is what brought me here.
I know that I was given a second chance to do something in my life, and make my family proud of me. I thank God and my family, and the doctor's in Canada, for saving my life. So, from here on in, no matter what the challenges are, I know I can do it.

Till next time...God Bless

Making the Grades

When I first decided to come back to school after 25+ years, I was worried. How am I going to pick back up on math, writing, not to mention the new world of Health care. I started March 2009, and so far so good. There are days when I don't even want to go near the computer, because of working in the day. I started when I was laid off of work, not knowing whether I would be called back, but when I was I was happy, and sad at the same time. This means I won't be able to put as much time into my school work, as I did with no job. After the first term I received something very surprising in the mail, and that was a certificate, which was from the Dean's Honor List. Now that was shocking, but it gave me hope, and made me realize, I can do it..

New Journey; new Thoughts

Okay I made in to the blog. ya!! I've started Kaplan in March of 2009, and was not sure, if I could, or would like it, but I can honestly say, I do. The professors that I have had, so far, have been great. I look forward to using this blog throughout the term, so for now; I'll catch you tomorrow..by the way that's my lazy roommate; Texi..(latin for "to protect").

God Bless
