hello you all, I know its been a long time since I have been around and I will try and fix that . I had a bug on my computer and FINALLY got that fixed. I also have been having some fun things go on with me. In Jan 2007 I had weight loss surgery and since then have lost 135 lbs. Its amazing the things that happen to you when you are a normal sized person. I have always wanted to go to nursing school but had some issues to deal with such as I thought I was too fat -too old- or too stupid. Well I am none of those and in August I am going to start nursing school. In either Feb or April I am taking CNA classes and hopefully get a job in a hospital or nursing home and work while I am going to school. I stayed home over 20 years and raised my family --My girls are now grown and I decided if I dont do what I want with my life now, when am I ever going to do it. I dont want to be 90 years old in a nursing home wishing I had lived my life instead of watching it. SO I applied to a local community college and they accepted me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I will keep you posted on how I do. Altho I imagine it wont be anything except MARVELOUS

Welcome back Gracie.
So nice to see you again, Gracie. I'm curious about how things go for you. You are doing what my wife talks about doing a few years from now. I keep telling her that I don't think nursing could be her thing because of her emotional ties to people. Not too sure she can "keep it together" under duress. I'm hoping she considers other medical alternatives like pharmacy or something like that. Still, I'd like to keep tabs on how it is working out for you!
Welcome home, it's nice to have you back.
Jeff

~Hi Gracie-Mae...Cedar here!
Listen, you are just amazing. Do you realize what you have done? You took control of your life and made it YOURS! I think that is just Da*mn amazing, I think YOU are amazing. You are never too old for self-improvement..never. Your 'Can Do' attitude is an inspiration to us all and I'm proud to live in the same state with you Grace. ~ One more thing...don't ever think of yourself as old..ok? You are a college girl now, and don't ever forget it. Start that camaro up girl...get in that, and crank the radio...and boogie Gracie-Mae! Bruce Springsteen! Yeah!!!!
P.S. Visit the Countdown thread, I tend to hang there, would love to see you.

Welcome back and congrats on everything. I look forward to getting to know you on these boards.
Thank you all for the nice words. Yes Auntie -I think the computer hiccoughs are fixed but I am getting a new computer with STUDENT LOANS!!! Jeff -I dont know about the dont get attached to the patients thing either but I have to be a nurse. I have a God Given Gift of loving to care for people and if I have to get my heart broken because I feel too much for the people I am taking care of thats what I have to do. It means I am lucky to be able to love that much and your wife is lucky too.I am looking forward to being able to go on medical mission trips too. Nurses get to do that.I was on one mission trip in 2004 . It was fun but I think I am going to enjoy way more going on one as a nurse. Jon --you are still my favorite hick!!!!!! Cedar it is stinkin freezing where I live. Its not all that far from you. We are under so much snow it is pathatic. I got 3 new blankets and a quilt rack for christmas. They are in my living room. Usually you will find me under at least one of those blankets . I also invested in a pair of pink long johns that have become my best friend. THey are in the laundry right now and I miss them. Jay--you are always my best and first computer friend. I love those lunch time chats. ANd eveyone else--I love you too and happy to see you !
~Gracie..Did you happen to see the news? We made a record today, the state of Michigan, for the amount of snow in February...Lansing got 19"....supposed to be 9" ....oh boy. Sick of the stuff, aren't you ?
I think you Grace, will make an outstanding nurse...hope I get YOU if I'm ever sick, that's for sure!!!
Been to Bonners lately? I know you like Poinsetta's.
