I've been really busy since I started my CNA training at the end of April. I'm absolutely loving it and a lot of what I'm learning has carried over from the short course I took on becoming a Physical Therapy Aide. We have started taking practice questions for the State of Texas exam and out of 30 some odd questions today, I only missed one and same for when we did review on Wednesday. I finally feel like I'm on the right track.
My husband decided to have his hip replacement surgery now, actually had the surgery was today, his son is with him because I told him that I can't miss class and he started alluding to wanting me to quit school and I gave him a option - if you can wait a few weeks, I'll be done with school and will even postpone my job search for your surgery, otherwise, I can't drop out because my school is free and there would be no way for me to try to rejoin the class because I'm going through a charity group and we couldn't afford the tuition out of pocket because its about $1025 in free education that I'm getting. I've done so much behind the scenes to help prepare him for the surgery - last week, I picked up his pain pills, stool softener and Miralax for post-op, I exchanged some shorts that were the wrong size, I made sure that some of meds were removed leading up to surgery, I printed a med list for him to take the day of, I handled sending release letters to his primary care dr, endocrinologist, nephrologist and cardiologist and spend most of yesterday washing sheets and towels because had he to prep with a surgical cleanser last night and this morning. When he scheduled this, I told him I needed help with 3 things - taking him the morning of, picking him up the next day because he's being held over night for observation and a ride to the 2 week follow up. He really made no plans to find help for me and thankfully his son stepped up and volunteered to come in. My mom and step dad are going to do something nice for him because they know how much its helped me.
My stress levels have just been running high because i really felt like he chose to do the surgery right when I was in the thick of school and this is the first time that I haven't been available to take care of him and am finally doing something to better myself. I've been working out despite the stress, missing a day or two a week and actually this morning just started doing 21 Day Fix Extreme because it gets a lot done in 30 minutes and I'm working on timing things because I will start in person CNA skills training on either Wednesday or Thursday of this week. I should be done by the end of May.
I don't know what I'd do without Luca. She's my everything and is why I'm still at this house. I understand why she can't go to my mom and stepdad's house because of my mom's bleeding risk, but there is no way I could leave her here with him. Heck, he even fusses at her and raises his voice at her. I'm starting to prepare and stock on some of my essential items, like contact lenses and stuff. I don't have a deadline for anything to happen, just going one day at a time.
