am I even in school??

Okay so this semester is something. I don't even feel like I'm in school right now. I went home last Thursday night w/a migraine...blurry vision the whole nine yards...I go back to school on wednesday....had a little bit of homework in between but mostly am not feeling much like I'm even in school. I write a paper about leadership and such here and there and that's about it.

I feel nervous and sick to my stomach. My grandparents are going to the doctor today, my grandpa had a full body scan last Tuesday and will have the results this morning. His biopsy came back positive for prostate cancer and now we are waiting to see if the cancer has spread.

Meanwhile, mom threw blood clots on Friday morning. Bilateral pulmonary embolism. She took an ambulance to the hospital and has been admitted. They are keeping her at least until Tuesday...looks like her ankle may be infected as well. *sigh*

So, I am not really feeling school at the moment..just keeping my head above water. I almost wish it was my health issues instead of my family...I think I deal with being sick better than I'm dealing with other people being sick. I have 11 more clinical days left. I should finish the last week of February.

Pete has been a godsend, he keeps me from going to crazy, holds me while I cry. Makes sure that I eat and that I don't overdose on the tylenol despite the neverending headache. I went to the ER on Friday once mom was settled, my headache is better I think maybe my new glasses had something to do with it. It was very visually stimulated, less auditory.

Anyway, enough whining. I'm good. Back to Tucson on Wed afternoon. Today lunch with my grandparents and a visit to mom at the hospital. I'll know more this afternoon.
