I am now going to have anther procedure done. i am having very bad monthly cycles so bad the first 3 days I can't leave home for fear of bleeding all over the place. i missed 5 days of school and was so far behind I dropped the quarter and am going to go back in Jan. The dr wants to do an endometrial ablasion I am so glad I do not have to have a hysterectomy like every other woman in my family has.
When I was filling out the paper work for the dr.s office I had to fill out my personal and family history I broke down I do not think I had ever really thought about all of the procedures and surgery's I have had Gall bladder out when I was 19, eptopic pregnanacy that had burst when I was 26 gastric bypass @ 27 liver transpalnt @ 37 and that is only the major ones there were actually 13times I ahve been put out.
The for the first time I had to write that my mom is diseased. I don't know if I just and now internalizing it or it is my meds or I am just a huge basket case but I cried and cried.
I feel like a failure for with drawling from this quarter but I guess it is better than failing I don't know.
Like I say every day it will be better tomorrow.

I certainly feel your pain. I'm looking for a new dentist and I realized I'll have to list my condition and all my meds and sometimes I just sit down and cry over it. I guess I'd better get used to it though. As for your dropping from school for a quarter...when I was in college (seems like forever ago now!) I had to do the same thing due to personal circumstances. I hated doing it at the time but looking back now, I went back the following semester and did better than I could have done before if I had tried to go with all the other stuff going on in my life. So...take the time you need for you and school will wait and then you'll be fresh and ready to take it on again. That's just my take on it :)
Take care and many hugs and prayers to you,

You are one tough lady, and this is just one more challenge you will handle with grace and success. We are often times our own worst enemy. Don't be that by thinking you are letting anyone down or failing by withdrawing from school for a quarter. Like ChelseyAnn said, you will be better able to handle things after this is behind you. You are your own best friend when you take a step back and look at the situation and admit, acknowledge and act upon what is best for you under the circumstances, and in this case, it is to not add more stress at this particular moment in your life. School can and will wait--your health can't.
