Im A CNA Baby!!!!!

Yes, it's official! As of Saturday, yours truly is a Certified Nursing Assistant!!! I was soooo nervous about taking the State test, but I did GREAT! In 2 weeks I will have a license number but I can work now as long as I show my pass results to an employer.  Yipeeeee! Hopefully this certification will make job hunting a tad bit easier......


School starts in January. Registration is on the 11 of this month..or the 10th??? (guess I better double check!) Im super excited!! In a way, I am really grateful for this separation. Most of it I dont like, but I dont think I would have ever gotten to this point in my head had Michael and I stayed together without taking a break. I was in MOM MODE totally. I didnt know who I was anymore, let alone a wife. I had a big part in the crappy-ness of our marriage as well as Michael did.

We have decide that we will work things out. Divorce is not an option. We both have agreed to try to see each other as allies, not someone who is out to get the other. We both get defensive wayyy too easily and thats when the walls go up and the communication goes down.....

6 weeks and he will be down here visiting again for Xmas. 3-5 MONTHS and he will be out for good! Then he is coming down here and we are going to determine whats going to happen from there.....we both don't want to spend forever in FL (we LOVE fall) so we are exploring our options as to where our forever home may be.

This thing called life is a crazy journey. Im trying to soak in all the learning. Man, its crazy. I look forward to the day when God explains it all.....and it will make perfect sense.

Till next time------------

Can April 5th PLEASE Hurry Up and Get here?!?!

Why?

Simple. That's the day my hubby is going to the Dr. to *hopefully* get the med board process started. Once she signs the paperwork, more paperwork will begin, but bottom like is, we could be in GA by mid-may....

MAY
MAY MAY MAY MAY!!!!!

Let's hope all goes well with her. Im a bit worried about her pushing his status to  "not with army standards medically". See, she tried new operations on his ankles, and was doing this big old write up on it in some medical book....yea. Her changing his status would mean that her new surgery did not work.

{Which it didn't. He still has pain in his ankle and limps a little when he walks.}

So thats why I am nervous. Plus, his caseworker found out that hid dr. has not been documenting his pain each time he goes in for a check up. So, on paper, it looks like the surgery fixed his problem ankles.

Riiiiight.

He rolled one two times already...and that was post surgery!!! Obviously, not fixed. Also, his physical therapist said he can rotate them inward way further then what is considered "normal" and that they surgery should have corrected the alignment problem.

Sigh.

In the meantime, we are continuing getting the FOREVER HOUSE ball rolling. Looking for some. Gotta call the lender soooon.

I will keep y'all updated!!!
