To explain, I meed to rewind time. In October, I got a text from Mom, saying that she had taken Grandma to the emergency room, and that Grandma was being admitted to the hospital. I was still at school grading papers and doing whatever else I do after school. Turns out, Grandma had fluid in her right lung. She spent little over a week in the hospital, and had her lung drained of fluid. From there, she went to rehab. <br />
<br />
While at rehab, both of her lungs started to fill up, and she decided to quit working with the physical therapists. On November 9, she was brought home, and we were told that she was dying, and didn't know how much time she had left here on Earth.<br />
<br />
I think at this time, is when the behavior in my classroom, starting going downhill. My team partner was on maternity leave, and so I started to prepare for when I would be out due to my Grandmother's death. I started making copies galore. <br />
<br />
My second cousins and first cousins started coming around to see Grandma one last time. Grandma had some bad days, good days, and bad nights. There was someone else here every day and every night to help with Grandma. Grandma is my last remaining grandparent. I was 21, when I lost my first grandparent, and now, I am 45 years old. <br />
<br />
Grandma ate at the table with us on Thanksgiving day. That Saturday, we skyped with my cousin who lives in Ireland. <br />
<br />
Grandma died Tuesday night of November 29. I was only in bed a few minutes, when I was told that she had died. The next morning, I went to school, and put in for a sub for 3 days, December 2, 5, 6. Had conferences on December 1 (my mom's birthday). I woke up on December 2 barely able to talk. I had a sinus infection, and I had gotten my doctor to prescribe a zpack for me on the 1st. <br />
<br />
On Saturday, December 3, while I was watching TV, and barely able to talk, my principal called to tell me about a house fire in the area I teach, and that one of my students died in the house fire. That is still hard to comprehend at times. I miss seeing this student at school. Their name is still in the grade book, and still on the mailboxes. Turns out, I had another student have their house burned down also that same weekend.<br />
<br />
My class was told about the fire and the death of their classmate on December 5. I wasn't at school that day, because my grandmother's calling hours and funeral was that day. <br />
<br />
I stayed home that Wednesday also. While I was out, my students' behavior wasn't very good. They can be good. <br />
<br />
I went back on the 8th. It was hard seeing the empty desk. I have moved the desks around about 3 different times since the 9th.<br />
<br />
By the time Christmas break came around, I was sick again with a nasty sinus infection. I have other health stuff going on, which was probably brought on by what has happened this month.<br />
<br />
I am praying for God's will to be done, and for something good to come out of this.teacherpandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14881311969720437564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29143789.post-46970687845476960702015-09-12T18:19:00.001-04:002015-09-12T18:19:24.073-04:00Jesus Prom Last night, Friday, September 11, my church held a Jesus Prom. This was the first time we did this. The theme was Candy Land. The decorations were very cool. Pool Noodles used for Licorice Forest. We had Peppermint Forest. Colored squares on the floor, to be like the trail on the game board. The guests could get their shoes shined, nails done, play games, have supper, get treats, dance, and even go on a carriage ride pulled by a horse named Bingo. Even, Webster the Duck from the Rubber Ducks was there.<br />
While I was watching people dance, I thought about what my night would be like if I was there with Timmy. There was no visible speakers, and he would not have liked that. No place for him to stand in front of the speakers. The music was loud, though. I even wondered how he would done with doing the Limbo. He probably would've liked all of the people, going up to them, getting hugs, and such. My fun would've been keeping him from pulling down all of the different decorations. i still think it would've been fun with him there. teacherpandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14881311969720437564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29143789.post-59886082153250730392015-08-18T18:38:00.000-04:002015-08-18T18:38:43.723-04:00Akron Zoo: Memeber's Night The Akron Zoo has a few member only times for their members to be at the zoo. Last year, I went to a member night visit, that was in June. Last week, on Thursday, August 13, was another member's night, and I went after working in my classroom. Here are some pictures that I took last week at the zoo.<br />

I left on Thursday, July 16 and got home on Wednesday, August 5 at 1:30 am. I spent a week in the Dallas area to see my friends. We had lots of girls time (that is the norm when I am in town.), went to the Perot Museum, saw the movie, "Faith of our Fathers", went to the zoo, went to church, did science experiments, got a massage, went swimming at a friend's house.<br />
After a week in TX, flew up to Portland, OR. Spent the weekend in Vancouver, WA. My cousin got married on my birthday. My parents, my sister, and my niece also flew out for the wedding. The day after the wedding, drove to the beach, to check out the Pacific Ocean. It was low tied, so we were able to walk out far. The water was very cold. <br />
The next day, drove back to Boise, ID. On the way, stopped to see a waterfall. I spent a week hanging out with my aunt and uncle, and my cousins. It was a great vacation.<br />

For awhile, it seemed to bother me only when I didn't wear my compression stocking, but then other times, when I would wear it. But since I gotten sick back in the fall of 2013, it has been bothering me more often. Back in January, my knee hurt a lot at night. It bothers me walking up the stairs, so when I do not have to walk with my students, I use the elevator. <br />
I had my physical last month, so I complained to my doctor. I've complained before to her. She recommended I see an orthopedic and I had my appointment this past Saturday. He took x-rays of my knee, and showed me one of them. On the inner part of my knee, there is no cartilage, so my knee is bone on bone. He said, that I will have to eventually have to have the knee replaced. When I am ready, then he will do it. Until then, I will live with it, and as needed get cortisone shots to help.teacherpandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14881311969720437564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29143789.post-45905859904334301622015-04-13T18:28:00.000-04:002015-04-13T18:28:08.195-04:00Spring Break Last week was Spring Break. Spring Break started on Good Friday. I went to Horseshoe Bend, AR with my parents and my niece. We stayed at a 650 acre lake, and rode a pontoon boat on Tuesday afternoon. Could see the lake from our unit, and was very peaceful. Wednesday afternoon, we went to Blanchard Springs Cavern and got to go inside a cave. Very cool to see what dripping water can do. Left on Friday and went up into MO to see Grand Gulf Canyon. On Saturday, while on the way home, we stopped at Wright Patterson Air Force Base to walk around the Air Force Museum for a bit. In the museum, we only checked out the early years/WW 1 and Vitenam War part. Here are some pictures from my trip.<br />

Went to a friend's house in the afternoon to go swimming, had four kids and four adults. Then we had a girls night out for my birthday. The next day, we also celebrated my birthday, so the boys could help me celebrate.<br />

Sometimes it is hard to believe that he is no longer around here on Earth. I miss him a lot! During the past week, while trying to fall sleep at night or trying to take a nap, I think about sitting next to Timmy and we both are worshiping God. <br />
<br />
I will also ask God, what is Timmy doing? I talk to Timmy, too. I wonder when I get to Heaven if I will be able to get a Timmy Hug. I miss his hugs. <br />

The United States of America is 238 years old. I went to three different fireworks this week. Sunday night, mom and I went to see fireworks in Fairlawn. They were really good, last about 30 minutes, really cool designs. Thursday night, mom and I went to Wadsworth to watch fireworks. They started late, and were okay. Wadsworth has done better in the past. Fairlawn's were way better this year. Last night with a few friends, went to the Rubber Ducks game and watch fireworks afterwards. This was my forth Rubber Ducks game this year. These pictures of fireworks are from Fairlawn's.<br />

I bought a single membership back in April to the Akron Zoo. The zoo has two baby snow leopards, but they are not on display yet. The komodo dragon died earlier this year, and they have replaced it with a new one. There is now a red panda at the zoo. Here are a few pics that I took last night.<br />

I asked my kidney doctor if he knew anyone. He gave me three names, then I called my doctor to ask her for a referral for the new doctor. I got it and called to make an appointment. My new lung doctor is half Hungarian. I am one quarter Hungarian, that was neat for me. I will see him again before school starts. Before then, I will be getting my fourth ultrasound of my right leg in the past year. In early August, I will have a lung function test.<br />
<br />
He did show me on the computer, a comparison of my PET/CT scans from last August to the one I had at the beginning of March. He said there was a mass in August and now it is gone. He also said that Sarcoid is an inflammation of the lymph nodes. <br />
<br />
Yesterday morning, I wore my tennis shoes for a few hours. That was great. I have to build up time in my tennis shoes. The swelling in my right leg is going down! By end of summer, I should be back at Curves working out. My other goal is to be able to wear my slip-ons by the middle of next month. <br />
<br />
The OT is working on both of my wrists and my lower arms are very tight. I have a few exercises to do through out the day. I am looking for a brace to wear, which will also help. teacherpandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14881311969720437564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29143789.post-92172277285706346482014-06-17T16:37:00.001-04:002014-06-17T16:37:50.204-04:00Toledo ZooYesterday, I left Heather's house and stopped in Toledo to walk around the Toledo Zoo before heading for home.<br />

Mongolian Barbecue. We got to the zoo and was told they closed in an hour. (We got there around 4 pm.) Heather saw on the Internet that the zoo closed at 8 pm, well, that was wrong. Here are a few pics from our two hours at the zoo.<br />

I was continuously wrapped from last Friday night till yesterday morning. The swelling in my right leg has gone down a lot! I can almost fit into my slip on shoes. I am able to put on my black tennis shoes, but they were a little snug, though. When I move, the foam on my upper leg moves down over my knee, and if I pull it up, it seems to get worse.<br />
<br />
The OT only works at this Edwin Shaw on Wednesday and Friday mornings. I had my first appointment with her this morning. I will be seeing her twice a week. My fingers have been numb all day on my right hand. I have had carpel tunnel syndrome for almost twenty years now. I was given a few exercises to do. Rehab does work.teacherpandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14881311969720437564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29143789.post-77563442246494308382014-06-09T19:44:00.001-04:002014-06-09T19:44:33.073-04:00Monday Meet MeI follow some different teacher blogs and they are having blog link up where you share some information about yourself, so I decided to join up with them.<br />
<br />
I have taught from fourth-seventh grades. I have taught in both TX and here in OH. I was only self-contained twice (where I taught all of the core subjects). I have taught mostly science and social studies. Those are my two favorite subjects.<br />
<br />
I do not have a husband or children, but I do have my parents, sister, niece, grandma and a lot of friends.<br />
<br />
My all time favorite TV show is Emergency! (a show from the seventies.) I also watch Law & Order: SVU, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD, Major Crimes.<br />
<br />
I listen mostly to Christian music. but I also do enjoy listening to Country music.<br />
<br />
I love to read. I mostly read Christian fiction, of which most of those books are about the Amish. I will also read biographies. My favorite magazine is <i>People Weekly</i>.<br />
<br />
My hobby is scrap booking. I scrapbook the school year, trips and other events. I do both digital scrap booking and by hand.<br />

I did miss seeing a few animals. I do wish that the Cleveland Zoo came people the chance to feed the giraffes. You can pay to ride a camel there, though. We did see a wedding party take their wedding pictures at the zoo, and the bridal couple did ride the camel.<br />

I made the mistake of telling Brett on the way to the zoo that you could ride a camel. That is all he talked about doing all day. This is the last thing we did before leaving the zoo. This is Brett riding the camel.teacherpandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14881311969720437564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29143789.post-55354530657463388602014-04-15T15:26:00.002-04:002014-04-15T15:26:58.686-04:00First Day of Being WrappedI was back at the rehab clinic this morning. I had dad drop me off and mom to pick me up. I wasn't sure how well I would be able to walk, let alone, drive.<br />
<br />
Only my lower leg is wrapped today. This is so, I can get used to wrapping it myself, before i have to do my whole leg. First things are first....both of my legs were measured. The biggest difference between my two legs, is the calf area...14 centimeters. The other areas, no more than 3-5 centimeters, of where my my right leg is bigger than my left leg. <br />
<br />
I have two videos of my therapist wrapping my leg, first my toes then the rest. That is so I can watch it first. <br />
<br />
First a protective sleeve is put onto my leg. Then folded gauze is wrapped around my toes. Then two layers of gauze is wrapped around my lower leg. Then three different size of bandages is wrapped around my leg, starting with my foot to ending just below my knee/at the top of my calf.<br />
<br />
When I am not wearing my compression stocking, then I will have my leg wrapped. I can not wear a sock on my right foot. There is an added piece of Velcro to the strap on my shoe, so that I can strap my shoe. I can not have my leg wrapped at school, because of the type of material my pants need to be. I am to sleep with my leg wrapped. This wrapping is to get the swelling down in my leg. teacherpandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14881311969720437564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29143789.post-28112060879283094722014-04-09T18:45:00.002-04:002014-04-09T18:45:29.618-04:00First Visit to the Lymphodemic Clinic Sometime last month, I called my doctor and complained about my lymphodema. They called and got me an appointment someplace. The appointment was scheduled for April 21 and I was put onto the cancellation call list. I got the call for a 2:30 appointment today. I had to do so rearranging at school, so I could leave extra early. This clinic is at a rehab place and I am going to get some help to get my swelling down. I want to wear my tennis shoes again, then I can start working out again. My next appointment is next week.teacherpandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14881311969720437564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29143789.post-69577942589875565392014-02-28T13:50:00.001-05:002014-02-28T13:50:51.867-05:00The PET Scan That Didn't HappenOn Monday, I stood at the desk, I was scheduled for a PET scan for today. My lung doctor scheduled this scan, not my oncologist. They had to call the Infusion Center to schedule an appointment for me to be accessed. I had an 11 am appointment this morning to be accessed.I had to be downstairs by noon fora 12:30 appointment. I am downstairs early and precede to check in. I wasn't on their schedule. The code for the diagnosis that my lung doctor used was for a scan that they don't do where I was. Phone callas were made, and I found out that my test would be rescheduled. I had to go back upstairs and be deaccessed. I wasn't too happy. <br />
<br />
This was the third day in a row that I wasn't at school. Wednesday I saw my kidney doctor and my personal doctor. My blood work came back good, except for my magnesium which is low. <br />
<br />
Yesterday, I had a light case of the stomach flu. It started Wednesday night. teacherpandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14881311969720437564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29143789.post-80253215282593377652014-02-24T18:49:00.000-05:002014-02-24T18:49:00.884-05:00Saw my Lung Doctor TodayI saw my lung doctor after school today. Turns out, I was not supposed to stop taking steroids last month. I was supposed to continue taking them until I saw him today. I told him that i never want to be on steroids again. There are other drugs that I could take if needed to. He checked my blood work that was done on Valentine's Day. My calcium is 8.8, my creantin is in the normal range. My kidney function is normal.<br />
<br />
This Wednesday afternoon, I will be getting an ultrasound on my left leg. My left leg has been swollen, along with the foot. When my feet swell, they hurt. I do not know why my left foot and leg is swollen.<br />
<br />
This Friday, I am going to get a PET/CT scan to check on my lymph nodes.teacherpandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14881311969720437564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29143789.post-31869753357521263742014-02-18T16:47:00.002-05:002014-02-18T16:47:38.094-05:00George Strait ConcertSaturday, I drove down to Columbus for the George Strait concert. This is year two of the two year "Cowboy Rides Away" tour. After June 7, George will retire from touring. I had never seen him in concert before. Last year, Martina McBride was his only opening act. This year, he has a variety of opening acts. Saturday, was Little Big Town. They are okay, but I really wanted to see Martina besides George.<br />
Took me little over an hour to go three miles from my hotel to the parking garage on Saturday, George came out around 9 pm, and started off the show with "Fireman". The stage is a square, with a microphone at all four corners. He sings a couple of songs at each corner. With a five song encore, the concert lasted over two hours. He sang"All of my Exes Live in Texas" during the encore. <br />
<br />
I used my zoom lens to take some pictures.<br />
