Hello everyone-
Yeah, I know it's been a long while, the winter really and most of the summer. I didn't plan it that way actually. Some new things, some things are
just still being adjuted too but that will take time........how long? I don't know...........We are still adjusting to my mom's death this past
December--It doesn't seem like it's been 8 months now, and yet other times, it seems loke such a long long time. Sigh----------but, some days I guess
it's a matter of having to do and other days, it's knowing life does go on here and there are only two choices to make. My dad is doing okay with it.
I think it's been rougher the last few months (since early June). I know he feels lonely but he has Ruddy and Jet and PAtches who take care of him, and
vice versa. My oldest brotehr does help out a lot but he works a lot too, so I gues he isn't home now during the days due to a schedule
change............and I did apply and get accepted into a Physician Assistant program. I debated whether or not I'd say something about it, but, so far,
so good. It's the one I was in 2 yrs ago and things are going better actually. I do not focus on making As in every class, just learning my best and doing
my best and that is the way it works best for me. It's not so much grades IN school that matter, it's how I will be as a PA outside of shool, so my
dad really misses my company. I was there for him after my mom died, and I know how much that helps. Iknow he, like Ruddy, misses me and I miss and love them
all every single day. Been working thru the pain issues, can't say it's great. Some days better, other days the same, and I'm sure the stress of
PA school puts more on that........
Not a lot to add............we are doing finals this week so Friday I head home for about 10 dahys, and I am SO excited to spend more time than an occasional
weekend with my fmaily, Ruddy too!
Hope you are all hanging in there..........
Rho

Good to see you again, Rho. Glad you are hangin' in. I don't have words of wisdom... but just "keep on with the things of life" is what I
hear people say gets you thru it.
anyway, glad you stopped by... it has been slower than slow here for some time. Hard times all round. jr |

Hi Pariah-
I know it's been hard for many people in our country whatnot with loss of jobs, homes, and so much more. It's sad. And losing someone you love, I can't imagine having to cope with all of that too much less having to add that and then chronic pain or any other chronic illness. Finals went good. I am t as well as they did. I am really proud of how I have done and managed, it's not been easy at times............but I feel my mom around me many many times. It's kinda weird---I get really down some days/nites thinking about her - wishing I could call her too and tell her how it's going, and I cry at times, and all of a sudden, I feel overwhelmingly like I can't be sad about her being gone that she is right there, at that very instant there within me............it's hard to explain ............and I KNOW without any doubt, she is always around each one of us guiding us and helping us thru what we must do...........yet.......... It's SOOOO nice to be home, just take time for my family, Ruddy, my dad. He is really enjoying this time with me home, cooking some yummy meals. I fixed a skillet dinner (yum) yesterday so had enuf to freeze for one big meal for him one evening. Those are the things he loves............having some yummy things. I was back up here in August right before the 5th for my oldest brother's birthday so fixed realy chocolate homemade from scratch brownies. REALLLY yummy and froze about 20 of them, so took them out this week for a treat for us all. I am hoping when I get back to school next week (leaving to return Sunday) I am working to eat a lot healthier..................fruits, more veggies, lots less junk though I don't eat a lot of it, I have had some good brownie bites for snacks and those oatmeal cake thingies. SO...............no more of those things. Gonna try to walk or something a little bit..................can't study every moment, and got to get moving and wake up at times. I went to my Pain management clnic today to see the PA but she wasn't there, in fact, none of them (Pas, MDs) were there I guess, so I had a 'nurse's call" and for $110 they simply did what they always do as a med assistantL took my blood pressure and asked me to rate my pain level. I wasn't sure how that $110 fit in with billing since I did NOT see a PA or MD, and I don't believe they can bill for services unless you see someone who can actually write the script, but I guess they ahve ways around that to get the money. So basically I got my scripts when they should have simply let me pick them up instead of charging me that today. I AM definitely going to address this when I see the PA a few months from now..................bigtime. My school PPO probably won't cover this appointment because of the preexisting thing, so I guess I have to wait a full year before I can get coverage on the PM stuff............grrr............BUT at least I have health benefits of some sort, which I hope i don't need. And so, just hanging in there is about rigght Yeah I see the boards been very very slow for a long long while............though times were different not all that long ago......................I don't know if it will ever be again...................maybe one day......... best of luck to you all. Rho
