life update
So I haven't posted anything on here in a really long time. So much has happend that I wouldn't even be able to type it all out. I am teaching in the valley and hating every minute of it. I do have some good kids and they keep me sane. 5 more days of this hell. I can't imagine WHY ppl would want to become HS teachers in these type of schools. Sad. Our future of tomorrow is full of piece of shit kids.
I was accepted into medical school!!!!! My lifetime dream! Due to personal reasons I have deferred my acceptance until next year. My grandmother has been sick and I feel I need to be here with her. Her chronic illnesses have just started to catch up on us. She has had hyptertension for years and she was diagnosed with diabetes only 2-3 years ago. Appaarently, after further labs they determined she has probably had diabetes for over 20 years. The diabaetes has damanged her kidneys to the point where she might need to start dialysis. She already said she does not want to be put on dialysis. Due to the kidney complications they also found fluid in her lungs (CHF) and the kidney complications also cause elevated bp. So it's all linked in one way or another. She was first hospitalized in mid-april bc her bp was extremely HIGH. She was hospitalized mid-april bc she suffered a mini-stroke, which they call a TIA. It was nothing severe or permanent so we are thankful for that. It was caused by a tiny blood clot in her brain. They said it was clotted with cholesterol. We are pretty strict on her diet, but in older patients having high cholesterol is fairly common.
Other than gma's health conditions, everything else has been good. She looks great most of the time. She is not in any pain and the only thing that affects her are the meds. We have developed her daily Rx schedule and it has been working for us so far. She gets dizzy throughout the day so she know she just needs to nap and sleep it off.
So you see, I have been worrying quite a bit these past few months. I cannot imagine starting school this july/august! I would not be comfortable. She feels bad b/c she feels she's holdin me back. I told her I would start next year no matter what. I just need to be here with her for a while and then I will do what I need to do with my life.
So I will continue to teach the demons of tomorrow until I begin med school. Every day is a struggle and I look forward to Friday throughout the week. I have blessed with an amazing supportive grandmother, great friends, and amazing co-workers.
I have a stable job and even though I hate it most of the time I am thankful I have money to pay my school loans and bills.
I wish I could learn to relax more, but I am anxious and stressed most of the time. I am glad school is almost over so I can spend more time with gma and so that I can be with her throughout the day.
Until next time..
