Life As I know It: September 2007

Catching you up

Hi. It has been a long time since I have updated my blog site. I have had a crazy year. The beginning of the year started me out with a near death experience when the hospital made a major mistake and overdosed me on a medication and then didn't monitor me like the should have. Then the rest of the year has been been spent studying in my classes and trying to stay out of the hospital. Unfortunately, in the last two months I was not able to stay out of the hospital. I got septic, a serious blood infection, from my central line. It didn't clear up completely and I ended up back in the hospital again. There is more trouble with my insurance covering the daily IV's that I need for my kidneys and life is never dull.

I am looking forward to this finishing this school term in the end of October and taking the next term off. Cindy, Jessica, and I are going on a fun filled trip to Disney World. We are going to stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge overlooking the Savannah for four days and enjoying the Very Merry Mickey's Christmas Party. Then we will head out on December 1st - 8th on the Disney Cruise ship for a cruise on the Western Caribbean. We will go to the Keys, Cozumel, Cancun, and Castaway Cay. We will have an all night pirate party where they shoot fireworks off the ship and we battle with the Disney characters who with us are dressed in pirate regalia. We will have a full black tie dinner with the captain and so on. We are so excited, we cannot wait. I definitely cannot wait. It has been a rough year in a lot of ways health wise and counseling with some women and loosing one to suicide. I am definitely ready for a vacation. I am certainly sorry it has taken me almost a year to update you on everything and I am sure I am leaving things out. But I will try to do better at keeping you updated from now on. I will post pictures of the new roof and when we get back from our trip, you can bet I will have lots of pictures to post and a lot of excitement to share.
Well, I look forward to hearing from you.

Up in Tawas on Lake Huron with just Rascal having some mommy and me time on Mother's Day weekend. We had a blast together and the weekend was beautiful.
