Thank You All
for the well wishes.
I been pretty sick....
The VA chest x-rays showed some fluid in my lungs.
Again, there was talk of hospitalization.
I repeatedly declined the invitation....
I was prescribed some type of "mycin" antibiotics (synthetics) and told to
REST!
I made the right choice in withdrawing from classes because
I could not focus on assignments and was not able to keep up with
schedules and responsibilities.
----------------
Good news and bad news...
The good news is that I barely made the cut-off date for withdrawal and
thus not be penalized in GPA.
(although I was at an A to a B in both classes....)
The bad news is that I may have to pay back my
Pell Grant and/or Scholarships.
-------------------
I have communicated with Sonja, at Disability Resources, of my situation
and received well wishes.
I WILL continue to volunteer when I'm able.
Perhaps I had spread myself too thin...
Made myself vulnerable through stress to weaken my antibodies
and allow this illness....
After all, I ain't as young as I once was....
I guess I should try to control my hyper-type personality
and learn how to age GRACEFULLY.
There were moments that I actually thought,
"Well Scott, your number is in the hopper and this is it."
Don't think I want to flirt with disaster again!
I have been taking my medicine,
(I hate pills, but better than a shot. I hate needles even more)
sleeping a lot and getting recharged.
I'm sad about losing the work already put into my classes,
and am not sure about Spring Semester yet....
--------------------
I hope that y'all been playin' nice
and Hope that All have a Great Weekend!
My Best Wishes,
As Always,
Scott
