So here I am. The last Friday before spring break. I have class tomorrow morning from 830 to 1130 (hopefully he’ll be kind and let us go early) and then I’m free for a week. So far I have A’s in all my classes which is very nice. I am caught up on all my work - to the point where I can afford myself a half day off on the next two Saturday’s to go to the Bay Area Renaissance Festival and the Strawberry Festival.
I do work for my A’s though. Usually, I go work until 430pm. When I get home I start working on school work and do that until bed time. Monday nights and Wednesday nights I have class. Saturday morning I have class. All other “spare” time I’m doing work for school. Even at work, I bring my text books and catch up on my reading in-between calls in the morning when its quieter. No rest for the good student. The more A’s I can get now the better balanced my GPA will be for when it comes time to apply for RN school next year.
On Monday I get to park my summer session classes (Anatomy & Physiology 1 - with the lab and Statistics) in my shopping cart. This way I am registered and ready to go for summer session. I’m excited for A&P again. Yes, it’s a repeat course for me that I already have an A in - but at least it’s a FUN A.
I finally was able to go to a decent gyno in the area on Monday. One who seems to treat me with respect when I tell them things. Her staff is amazing! Not like the other one’s staff who treated me like I was poor AND stupid all at the same time. I also had a surprise biopsy done. I was NOT prepared for that test. In fact I still get twinges of pain in that one area once in a while. You see, my uterus has been on steady revolt for about 6 to 8 months. If I reflect back it’s probably been much longer than that. Having a never ending period SUCKS. At this point anything will make it kick up agian. Sneezing, picking up a box, sex is out of the question. The tipping point came when doing ordinary bathroom functions suddenly caused it to kick up.
The gyno said before she does anything for it she wishes to rule out cancer. Now I don’t have reproductive cancers in my family but I do have cancers in my family. She seemed concerned but not all at the same time. So I’m not sure if i should be worried or not. I do waffle between the two. I come from Canada - the land of totally free comprehensive health care. I wonder if it IS cancer what does that mean for me? Does that mean that I’ll go poor (or poorer in my situation) just so I can live? Does this mean that when I cant pay my medical bills they’ll cut off my treatment? Does this mean I’ll have to go back to Canada - take the 3 months to let my coverage kick in so I can get well then come back? So many questions.
I have 3 to 10 days left to wait for word. Longest 7 to 10 days of my life......
She also repeated the pap test since the one taken in August was inconclusive. She said since I had ones come back as abnormal in the past it’s best to just repeat it. She also tested for HPV, Chlamydia and a few other STD’s. I laughed - I’ve not been tested for those EVER. Well I got syphilis for immigration but that’s it. There’s gonna be some raised brows and MUCH discussion if ANY of those come back as positive let me tell you!
I’m watching a documentary (I’m SO addicted to those) on Detroit MI. My neighbour to my hometown. It’s so sad to see the condition that the city has got to. It used to be such a booming place - now - Walking Dead could be filmed there without any incidents. People are trying to make it better. I sure do hope that in my lifetime I see everything turn around for them. If you want to see go to detroit.curbed.com
I’ve been thinking a lot lately of where I’m going to end up after I get my RN degree. I think a lot of moving north. Going back to the Detroit area so I can be closer to my kids and family. I think about going North East to NJ so we can be closer to his family. I think of going further south and really really moving to Key West! As long as my sweetie is alive I don’t think we’ll move into Canada. He does not wish to live there - which for the most part I’m ok with. I do, however, wish to be closer to my kids. I miss them.
Well I’m gonna leave this right here. I have to take a peek and see if my other test grade is posted and then get to bed. Yay school tomorrow!! :D
