Long Time No Post

Wow! Can't believe it has been so long since I posted a blog! My life has been incredibly chaotic the past two months. Tim had two strokes on March 6th. Spent the month dealing with that and then I got pneumonia. Still going to school as well. I only missed one day due to being sick and still finished the class with an A.

Then Spring Break came along and I took one! I had a wonderful time in Ashville, NC! Spent a week there being treated like a princess. I went to Biltmore House, Gem Mountain, where we found a 2 carat ruby and a 2 carat topaz, then to the Mineral Spa for a soak and a massage! Wonderful! I had a wonderful time, but the week was over too fast. Stayed at a Bed & Breakfast that I would highly recommend. It is the Inn on Main Street. Beautiful old home with original furnishings and wonderful food! I felt more like I was visiting family staying there than at a B&B where I knew no one.

Now, April classes start and we are doing Enodocrine, Elimination and Neuro. . . .Ton's of info to be tested on. My first clinical day was cut short due to Tim having another stroke. He was in the hospital for over a week this time. Think we have things under control, seeing the Neuro Dr today. No physical deficits, but cognitive. . . .Frustrating for all.

Wow! I am worried about my grade this month. I'll pass, but it may not be with my usual 4.0 and I am not the only one! Most everyone in the class is struggling. Even my closest, friendliest competition! Then of course, there is still class Drama. I try to stay away from it. I am just too old to be caught up in all that time wasting energy!

Three more classes to go, then the preceptor ship, if I can pass the NCLEX!
