Long week

It seems to have been a long week for me. My grandfather suffered another heart attack Sunday and was transported to the VA hospital here in town. At first, it was just pneumonia. He is 89 years old, the man has been through a lot....he's tired now..but still spry.

He has only has about 20% of his heart working for him...there isn't much they can do except just let him live. It was kind of a whirlwhind...lots of famiy involved that we havent talked to or seen in years..and just nonesense because grandma and grandpa do not want any help..

...what can you say...they are set in their ways.

I have many things running through my mind that I will never be able to get out.. not all bad things, just things I don't think anyone I know will comprhend. I've been thinking a lot, just thinking.

much love.

About a year later

This blog has been abandoned for over a year now.

At that point I had just gotten out of school and started a new line of work as a Medical Assistant....at an Internal Medicine clinic, and at a Cardiology clinic. I just recently changed jobs again to work as the office manager in a local hospitals cath lab. What is that? Heart catheterization is when you insert a catheter into the chamber or vessels of the heart, for informative or interventional purposes. Basically, any blockages in your arteries will be found this way, and fixed if over a certain percentage..

I have always had an interest in cardiology, so this seemed like a good fit. Even though I am not doing much clinical work, I am becoming more familiar with the cardiac system every day. This also gives me a good lead into becoming a nurse in the cath lab, once my my nursing degree is done..which should be in about two years if all goes according to planned.

No other major changes, my boys are still wild and unruly, now 5 and 4. I can't complain much. Good to be back....


much love..
