My test Monday did not go well. I got a 66. That is a D! I am not happy. I have recommitted myself to studying and while I still have a 75 average which is what is needed to pass the course, I have no room for error. I have increased Mason to full time at the GAP program at school. I am studying every available moment I get. I was even looking at my flash cards at stop lights today while picking up both boys from their respective schools. I have a lot of work, reading and memorizing to do. The next material is pharmacology which is intense to say the least. Joe is away for another 3 weeks. That has made it extra difficult for me to find time to study but I am confident I can turn things around.
I have clinical tomorrow at 5:45am so Barclay has the boys spending the night at her house. I have one patient tomorrow. He is 86, just had a cerebral vascular accident (stroke) which has caused him left sided ataxis (problems of coordination). He is also diabetic and has poor vision. I don't know if the diabetes caused the stroke or if the poor eyesight is a result of the stroke. I will learn these things tomorrow when I assess him. Wish me luck. I am happy that he won't be able to see how nervous I am! :) Otherwise, I am enjoying school, my boys and the beautiful weather up here in Northern Idaho.
