Well, sorry to everyone for the lack of contact, particularly those who've had a birthday recently, or whom I promised contact and fell short. But i have a good excuse.... really!
Life's been a bit of a mess at the moment. Im not complaining, many things are still going fantastically Im just having my patience and tolerance tested a tad.
For the past 2 years my mum has been having heart palpiations and a bit of trouble trying to sort out what has been causing them. 4 weeks ago when my holidays were on she went to hospital for 4 days as she had a bad spell and they wanted to figure out exactly what the problem was. They did thank goodness - atrial flutter, and have stuck her on medication and in approx 4 weeks she will have an operation - cardiac alblation, (burning the bit in her heart that is bad) or if that doesn't work she'll get a pacemaker chucked in. Oh to have a mum that isn't stuffed! We're all, espeacially her, looking forward to fixing this out seeing as her ability to exercise and feel good will sky rocket up. Since that last stint she's been in hospital twice again as its gotten bad. A tad stressful.
Last sunday my dads father (opa) had a massive heart attack and was in ICU in new plymouth. This was a massive shock as he has been previously fit and healthy, but sudden cardiac death does run in his family. So after hearing the news we quickly jumped in the car and drove down (big ups to brett), spent the night there and the monday, then drove back up as I was in my second week of lectures and couldnt afford to miss more than a day. It was a huge blessing to have seen him, and he has managed to hang on long enough to see the rest of the family. My dad has been down there for the last week but mum had to come back cause she felt so poor. The outlook is poor for opa, but he has bet expectations big time so far so here's hoping... So that has been a touch more stressful.
So to top it off Ive been having days filled with 6 hours of full on lectures, broken up by an hour of sitting in the sun eating catching up wtih friends. This has been tiring, and brought us day by day closer to our exams. 6 weeks and 4 days to go until the big ones......medicine in 2 3hour lectures - should be a blast!!! Fortunately i started studying in the holidays so am not falling behind with my interrupted weekends.
And just to really stress all my aspects my poor husband is still working in a job he hates and has been full on completing his assignments for this final semester of his qualification. Oh what fun it is to balance a full time job and full time study! Poor guy.
So yeah.... hope that is reason for you all as to why ive been so slack with contact. I have been thinking about you but my brain is such a jumble its normally while driving home from uni or the hospital, therefore fleeing my mind as soon as i have to concentrate on honking at the dork that cant drive in front of me. heehee.
Now Im off to Hamiltron for two weeks to do my anaesthetics run. Looking forward to a timetable to work, study, run, sleep, work, study, run, sleep.... you get the picture!! Just me and me to concern about. And miss my husband miserably...
On the ups we had a lecture that was cancelled allowing me to grab bretts sisters and go for a walk in the awesome sunshine we have been having (yay for fantastic weather!!!! im actually getting tanned!!!) and means one less in the exam! (it all adds up). Ive managed to exercise heaps and am enjoying the effects. Im married to a fantastic husband who makes me laugh everyday and comforts me when i cry and has a wonderful family who support us and always care about whats going on. I can look forward to a wonderful christmas where my mum can actually manage to go walking with me and hopefully see less worries and stress for my poor daddy. And life just has a habit of all falling into place - with thanks to our awesome God, who has answered so many prayers and pulled me through unscathed.
Wow am I lucky :)
And i do appreciate my friends!!! HONEST! Can't promise anything in the next 8 weeks, but december ill do everything i can to get hold of you. Mmmkay. Hope your all well and thriving along.
Lots of love
me :)
