Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Hi Joan, Thank you I am excited this was a very difficult semester for me, with being in the hospital so much. We won't go into what my smart mouths sons thought, they do keep my friend and I laughing. Needless to say they were having fun with it all, I don't think they think I earned those grades. How are you doing? I am a little behind in my mail. I hope this New Year finds you feeling better.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Thank You I still feel they were in part charity grades as I have gotten to know these professors. My son told me there is no such thing as a charity grade in college. Think he is trying to make me feel good. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to be a college student closing in on two degrees. Actually getting hurt and having RA have made this possible. As Rainsy Sue has written she doesn't look at the RA as a bad thing, not her exact words, but words to remember. Today is Christmas for my family. It was spoiled last week. How are you feeling and I wish for you a special new year. Hope you are feeling well.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 To Me Mom : Hi, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. By the way I am sure you earned those grades. Your son is right, they don't give them away in college. I have been taking some college courses but I put it on hold for a year. I wish I hadn't stopped and hope to get back to school soon. I only have 6 courses to go to get my BSN. I don't know if I will ever work again, but no one knows for sure what the future holds for any of us. However, I would just like to get the degree in case I do go back to work. I had to stop school for a while since my asthma and RA were giving me so much trouble. I could hardly walk into the school without feeling like I was going to kill over. My asthma had been so bad I would be gasping out loud and everyone would look at me. The pain was so bad in my back I couldn't take it any more. I have spinal stenosis too, which is very painful. My back goes into a spasm and effects my legs and walking is almost impossible at times. Well, my asthma is a bit better now. As far as my back I am hoping to have a nerve block soon and I pray that it will help. I would like to get back to school someday soon. I hope you are having a nice " Christmas " with your family and I wish you a Blessed New Year. I am going to watch the ball drop on TV and keep warm inside. We have about 18 inches of snow outside. There is no way I am going out in that. Otherwise, I haven't been too bad lately. The usual aches and pains. I just rubbed Vick's Vapor Rub on my back. I know some people don't like the smell of it, but it is just about the best pain reliever there is for the money. I don't have to worry about the smell cause I'm not going out.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 Hi , Did you ever think about finishing up your degree as a distant learner. You do it with the college but just about everything is done over the computer. As far as I know all colleges have this. Also, go to the Department of Disabilities, they will work with you completely. I could not be doing this without their help. They let the professors know what the problems are, and only the professors. I have yet to met any teacher who wasn't willing to bend over backwards to help me accomplish school. I am able to get note takers, extended time on test, scribes for test. Most teachers don't want the scribes they usually work out something so you can do the test on your own. A lot of teachers who teach night classes have take home test, especially if the classes are mostly adults. Our Christmas was very special, my granddaughters were so excited to get more presents, it was fun. My one son couldn't be here because he lives in Virginia. My other son is trying to tell me he mixed up the dates. I know he and his wife are lying, but I don't care. I wasn't letting anyone spoil what was left of Christmas. My daughter who were my biggest concern were so surprised by all the gifts I was able to get them. I always start Christmas shopping right after the holidays. I already have my sisters gift for next year. It seems I have always had to watch money so I learned early on if I wanted my kids to have the Christmas I wanted for them, shop early. Next week I will start with lay-aways, it is just something that works for us. My mom spent the day just cleaning up the kitchen. I felt terrible but she wasn't about to tolerate me in the kitchen doing it, she is very happy in a kitchen. I'm like you I will watch the ball drop, if I don't fall asleep. I'm getting a big blanket and getting comfortable. I hope you have a very Happy New Year and Better Healthy.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 Hi June, Thank You sometimes I think I am too old to be so involved in school. Our Christmas was great. I took darvocet and enjoyed the day, I made up my mind that no pain was going to interfere. I know in these last few weeks I have learned so much about how my children feel about me. Even two of my daughter-in-laws have been so wonderful. The other one well, I don't want to think about her. I would rather think about my two little granddaughters run all around this house today. Also how happy my kids were with all the presents. It is funny but my daughter-in-laws father was in the hospital over Christmas too. I invited him and his wife and we laughed saying the two who spoiled the day should be together. We were laughing over what pain killers he had and I had, we agreed morphine is not that bad. I hope you have a wonderful New Year and a Healthy Year.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 , This is a very good suggestion for and others in our group who would find finishing the bulk of course work much easier from home. I've seen many adds in my area for degrees that can be completed online. And you're right, too, that many teachers will try their best to accommodate students with special needs. Glad to read your good reports about your Christmas celebration. I'm happy you felt well enough to enjoy the party. That's funny about your daughter-in-law's father (well, it's not a laughing matter that he was in the hospital on Christmas, too, but you know what I mean) and that you invited the other " spoiler " over. Enjoy today. My candle is burning for you and everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 Yes I do know what you mean, him and I were having a little fun. Of course we were talking about drugs and the realllllly good ones. I got a candy cane from the visiting Santa at the hospital, he was hurt no Santa visited him. I think a knows more about the online classes. They can be intense but I understand as long as you keep up with the work, you are okay. I would do this if I had too but I like the interaction with the other students. I think I have a mouth that just likes to get talking. I do prefer to be out with other people and hope I can keep doing it. It is what has saved my sanity threw all this. How you are feeling well and had a Happy New Year. My candle is burning.
