Hi
Sorry I have been away for a little bit. Things have been tough. Sad times and one good!
I can say.....Take that Crohns!! This is what I have been working on part time over 2.5 years. I earned my Masters in Science in Mental Health Counseling. Yey I am a mental health counselor now!!! (I am not a working one because of health though
)and I am happy to say even with hospital stays, incompletes that had to be made up, emergency room visits, not feeling well, and much more, it could not keep me away from this day! I graduated with high honors also!
Yes lol I cannot probably use the degree as I want at the moment due to my health but I accomplished getting to walk on this day. With only 2 hours sleep and not feeling well I managed to enjoy the day.
I have been away because everything that has been going on has been really hard on me. I am not feeling well. Thank goodness I have an appointment tomrrow with my doctor. I missed a few weeks. My little boy (dog) became very ill. He means the world to me. He is like my child. He developed blood clots that blocked the blood flow to his back legs. The specialty vet he was at near me did not do the therapy he needed. He needed an injection of TPA therapy to try to disolve the clot. I had to drive him a few hours away from home and I tried to stay near there for days. There were only 3 vets who did this within a 4 hour driving span of time. I found one that would take him a little over two hours away.
I then had to come back days later because a very close relative was really ill and my mother and I went over their house for a few days back and forth to be by his bedside and then he passed away. This has been really hard emotionally. He was our great uncle but was like a grandfather to my brother and myself.
I finally got to take my little guy (Rico) home last night. He is now napping by my side of which they did not think he would survive. He is still not out of danger but I am happy knowing I did everything possible to keep him with me. He seems to be in good spirits and as everyone has said for what he has been through, he is a tough little guy...A trooper!
I have not been feeling well at all. I am hoping for more help at the doctor tomorrow. I know I will be getting my iron infusions and hydration. I need more though than that and the meds I am on. I am not able to function.
I will try to be around here and there but need some more time. Between needing to sleep a lot, not feeling well, and taking care of my dog and everything else I am having a lot of trouble keeping up.
