It has been a few days since my last post and A LOT has happened. I am going to take the time to create a few sequels to previous posts.
JUST A CUP OF TEA PART 2
Well, my grandpa has had fewer "Ups" these days. He still seems to be in a coma and the doctors are convinced there is nothing else they can do for him. They decided to let him go home with my grandma and be provided with round the clock care. My Grandma already has so much on her plate as it is...I am worried for her. I don't want her stretching herself too thin! We don't really know what will happen from here...We all just want him to come out of this so badly! I guess now, we just wait.
THE MONKEY ON MY BACK PART 2
My husband ran a whole mile all by himself!!!
I guess this deserves a little background information...In September, my husband was hit by a truck on his motorcycle. It broke his leg (low in his shin) and practically shattered his foot. Over the last five months he has gone through numerous surgeries, procedures and physical therapy appointments. He no longer has any hardware in his foot and was told that his foot will start giving as much as he is willing to take from it. Up until about a month ago, the idea of deployment was out of the question! How could he fight when he could barely walk? The surgeon gave him 3 weeks...within that time, my husband has has to run three miles in 30 minutes. If he can do this, the surgeon will sign him off as "Well enough to deploy" It has pretty much just been a waiting game.
Not anymore, because MY HUSBAND RAN A WHOLE MILE ALL BY HIMSELF!!
He has been so strong willed this whole time. He wouldn't listen when people told him he'd never walk. He KNEW he was going to get through this! He KNEW he would be able to get back on that Harley! He KNEW he would be able to deploy. As much as this all scares me, and yes a part of me wanted the recovery process to last a little longer, I am SO proud of him! He is such a fighter and knowing that makes me feel SO much better about him leaving. I know he won't give up...
IT'S BEEN DECIDED!...I THINK... PART 2
I've been going nuts with this whole school thing the past few days!! I talked to a guidance counselor at one of the schools to get as much information as possible. Basically, I am looking at anywhere between 4 and 6 years to get done with the schooling. YIKES! Not to mention the amount of money!
I am going to meet with another counselor at a different school on Thursday. I am hoping they will be able to sort of draw out an educational plan for me. Just to see EXACTLY what it is going to take. I won't know anything else until then...
As far as the money goes....Part time job, here I come!! I plan to work as hard as I can to get this done! I know this is the right decision...the right path....I just need to start walking!
Well, that's everything for now! <3
