Well, it was two whole weeks ago when I invited dragged some of the lizards into my nightmare. I have to say I appreciate the concern you guys expressed, even though I figured at the time it was wasted on the wrong person.
In that time despair has been sharing head space with some hope. It turns out a made the grades I needed (somehow) and was able to get the loans I needed to get through this last semester. This nursing school thing might actually come true! As each semester drew to a close, I wore down and melted down worse each time, in the belief that things were going to go kablooie in my face. But I fought with everything I had to make the grades. It was in the interim that I would run out of fight. But when I get through this semester, I graduate. For the first time, I allowed myself to imagine finishing my final final. That one will be with night school students, none of whom will have any idea what I went through.
But the dean will. I saw her last week to check if I made the grades and she showed me I did, and then told me she needed a medical clearance again. I tried to act surprised but she said she could see the belt buckle on my neck. I was busted. All I could do was correct her and say it was a luggage strap.
So I say thank you to the Lizard Kingdom for your concern and that while the worst is behind me, I’m not taking anything for granted and will keep seeing the doctor.
