Fur babies & life

The past couple of weeks have been pretty good.  I have been spending a little bit more time with my fur babies.  We have been trying for a good while to conceive so its been good to spend more time with my fur babies. I have been so worried about everything for a while now, so it's been good focusing on the fur babies that I have.  Cats provide a lot of companionship.  I think any animal really provides good companionship.  They love their owners so much.  They become like part of the family.  If your me they are part of the family.
I have decide to get certified in Zumba.  This is something I have wanted to do since I started going to Zumba.  I love going to the classes.  So I am glad I have figured something to do while I search for jobs.  I probably won't get certified for a little while, but that's the plan.
I am still learning about taking care of a home.  So keeps me busy.  I am also OCD.  So that's another thing that takes up time.  Overall, everything is going good.  By the way, I am still working on my book. I have found a church I love.  I started going to Eagles Way.  I am glad to be back in church again.  It's great to be working on my New Years resolutions. Till next time.

It's been a long time.....

I have not posted on here in forever. It has been a year and about 6 months. A lot has happened in that time.  I have healed a lot since then but still has more to go.  I finished up college.  I have my bachelors in early childhood education.  I have decided not to teach.  The thought of me being the adult in the classroom scarred me to death.  So I am looking for a job in general.  My husband and I have finally gotten our own place.  We love it! But I also loved living with my family.  We have also decided to start a family.  My mind has continued to heal.  So a lot has been going on.  I still get upset about the ways things have turned out but not as often.  Hey, who wouldn't get upset at times if they have been through this much.  I know God has a purpose for me cause if he didn't I would not be here.  I am continuing to learn new things about myself daily.  I will figure out my plan eventually but I have time while I'm still healing.  I know I want to help people but that's I know right now.  So until next time.

Surgery, Sinus Infections, and STAPH

     So I know its been a while.  I had my surgery on May 10,2011.  The surgery went very well.  I didn't have any problems from it.  I am doing really well since then.  Its weird to feel my head now and it to be solid instead of soft.  I had to beg all the doctors and nurses not to shave to much of my hair off.  When I first had my accident, they shaved my whole left side of my head.  So I begged with them not to shaved to much with the wedding coming up.  They all were very nice because they shaved just what they needed too.  I understand why they shaved so much off to begin with because they did not know where the damage was. All they knew was that it was on the left side.  I have gotten sick since my surgery.
    I had a sinus infection last week.  They had to give me a strong antibiotic because of my history with STAPH.  Even know, I do not have  it anymore I still have a history of it.  I have had to stay out of the sun because the medicine had sulfur in it.  I have not felt that bad since I woke in the hospital.  I have the same thing in common with my favorite  comic book character.  Rick from The Walking Dead.  He woke up from a coma in the hospital.    
    Other than that I have been really good.  Everything is starting to fall into place.  I start school again in August.  I am getting excited more and more each day.  Also, I am driving again.  I drove on the interstate for the first time since I had to stop driving.  I did really good. I only got a little bit nervous.  I used to get nervous when the semis went by and it was the same thing now.  I am still driving with supervision but I will be able to drive to school in August by myself.  At first, I begged my parents to drive me everywhere so I would not have to drive.  But now I am glad I can drive again.  It will be nice to be independent again.  I have gotten used to be dependent on everyone but it will be nice to be independent again.  But I enjoyed being a kid I guess that's why I have been good with relying on everyone.  It takes be back to being a kid.
     I have been busy planning the wedding too.  I am doing a lot of the work my self.  I really injury doing Arts and Crafts is why I enjoy doing the activities myself.  I have a lot done and just a little bit left to do.  I am getting excited the closer it gets.
     I have watch some new t.v. series also.  I started watching Prison Break.  I love the show.  It really is a good show.  I like watching prison shows because Nick works at a prison and it gives me an insight at what he does.  I really like watching the Disney channel now.  I used to love it when I was a kid.  It takes me back to being a kid again.  They actually have a lot of good clean shows.  So I am going to sign out for now.  I am going to start posting more.  My surgery had me kinda of out of it after all of it.  I promise to post twice a month.  That is something I can keep up.  Good night Everyone!

Surgery

I finally have a surgery date.  May 10th. Next Tuesday.  I am so glad to get it done.  Its taken almost a year just to get the plate put in.  I still don't understand why they didn't put it in to begin with.  I am so tired of sitting at home all the time.  I am literally bored to death.  I am so tired of being here.  I have so many things I want to do.  I want to get out of this state.  I wish I could move to a tropical place.  I guess I am stuck here till I go back to work.  I can't wait to go back to work, school, and normal activities.  I want to be able to drive again too.  And not have to rely on others to take me places.  I am very grateful that I have had people to take me all the places I have needed to go.  I am glad that my family, Nick, and my friends have put up with me while going through all this.  I am just ready to start working on my bucket list.  I want to travel the world and have children and all that.  So I am finally glad that I can start living my life again.  Once I get the plate on I can move on with my life.  I will not be on house arrest anymore either.  I just have to get through this surgery.  I am not nervous about this surgery.  I guess because I have has so many surgeries now I have gotten used to it.  I will be freed finally from the cage of my brain injury Tuesday!

Fall Wedding

     So I really have not been up to anything.  I sit at home all the time now.  So I just find things to keep me busy.  You know that saying "idol hands are the devils playground."  So I always try to keep busy.  I am starting to study for the GACE.  I figure I will need a couple of times of taking the test now.  I might even pass it on the first try.  That might be true for the General Edu, because the first GACE test I took was easy and it is about the same stuff with some new stuff.  So we will have to see. 
     I am making a list everyday now to make sure I get everything done.  I have so much I need to be working on, I need to make list to remind me what I need to get done.  I am enjoying spending all the time with the cats.  I am going to miss it when I can't spend a lot of time with them.  I really love spending time with my cats.  I especially love spending time with Polka Dot, Salem, and Felix.  Those are my  three favorite boys.  They love spending time with me too I think.  They act like it too.
     So we have finally set a date.  October 1st this year.  I know it is a year early but it really is not really that early because we were planning this year before the accident.  I am really excited.  Nick is really excited too.  So I have a lot to get done.  I have 6 more months to go.  So I have a lot to do before then.  I already had a lot of stuff done before we decided on a date.  We decided this year because of the year I have had.  It has been a rough year  for us.  Thankfully it keeps getting better.  I have one more surgery to go then I out of the clear for all of the surgeries.  So it will be a good ending for the year.  After the rough couple of years its been so it will be a good ending to the year.     
 

Its been a long time

So I would be graduating in 6 weeks but I will not be because of my bad luck.  But instead I am on house arrest still.  I can't do anything because I still don't have a plate in.  I am still waiting to hear from SSI.  I probably won't get it because I am not retarded enough.  The truth is that the government does not want anyone getting it because its more money they have to give away.  Its really screwed up the way the government works.  They don't want to help anyone.  So if you get disables you can count on the government not wanting to help.  They want a one cent tax to help build whatever they think they need but when someone gets disabled they come up with an excuse for you not to get it.  I wish I could go into politics because I would change a lot of that.  I am just one person who was disabled and see how it has effected me.  Imagine all the people that get disabled for life not just temporary disabled.  They can never work or do anything.  I will be able to go back to school in August and go back to work next August if I can get a job.  So its retarded how our government works.  The president and all the famous politicians can go on expensive vacations and I am stuck not being able to pay my medical bill.  Something is not right with that picture.  So hopefully they will give me an answer soon and if I don't get it I can go back to work.  Maybe I can be a stripper to pay for college.  Really I would never do that.  That is just gross.  But I would love to go back to my office job.  I miss the job and the people.  I miss school too.  I am so tired of sitting at home all the time.  So we are looking at late April to have the plate put in.  So I have 2 more months left of house arrest. And I will be able to get out of the house again.   And I can go back to work if I can't get SSI.  Which I won't probably get.  If I do go back to work its going to be difficult because there are so many things I can't do.  So I will be stuck in a office room away from the patients.  So hopefully things will look up for me after all this.  Hopefully I will have good luck after all this for the rest of my life.

Since my Birthday

Everything has been good since my birthday. I am feeling more and more like myself. My brain has clicked even more this week. I meet a girl down the road from me. She has a brain injury also. She had her accident in September. Her accident was 2 months after mine. She is doing good for the time period. It was nice to meet someone who went through all the things I went through. She is only a year younger than me. She used to go to Pike in Elementary school. I am just glad to have meet someone that knows what I am going through that lives down the road from me. I finally found a place for the wedding. I want to have the ceremony at a church and the reception at a restaurant near our house. It's in Williamson so it is very close. I might have figured out which bridesmaids dresses I like the best. If I go with David's Bridal all my bridesmaids get $20 off. I found a wedding dress but I want to find a cheaper one. That is about all I have been up too. I am really enjoying having all this time off. I am enjoying the warm weather too. I want spring and summer to be here so I can enjoy the sun.
