I just wanted to pop in for a quick update. My family is being slammed with things right now, so if you pray and have extra prayers, much appreciated! My sister has had breast cancer and several surgeries from that. Also, following the loss of my grandmother and grandfather on the other side of the family, we spent several weeks getting the family farm ready to sell. Finally got through all that and then over Thanksgiving break, my dad fell and broke his neck. He's had a successful spinal fusion, but he's still looking at a pretty long recovery from where he has Parkinson's. But I'm still here!!! Wow, that sound incredibly intense and difficult! So much thrown at you all at once, I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine your emotional state right now. I'm sending you all good thoughts.

Sending you positive thoughts, I can't imagine what it must be like to go through all that at once.

Well, 25 days of ICU later, we busted my dad out of the hospital and decided to take matters into our own hands. He's been home a week now. We're in a lot better place with him, although he's having to learn to feed himself and walk again and all that jazz. I appreciate all the well wishes. It's been pretty rough. But on a positive note, if you need info about an extended hospital stay, I'm your girl. I drove the nurses and techs up the wall asking what everything was called and how it all worked.
Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!

I know this is an old thread but I do want to share what has been going on with my life.
I met my boyfriend online through an app called Telegram back in January 2021. We met up in person in January 2022. We have been together for like, one and a half years.
I got into a nursing school program back in May 2022. However, I failed one class by 1.5% and I need to retake it. I came back to school in another city, and retook the class in March 2023 and pass. Right now, I am currently in a nursing school program. It is an LVN (licensed vocational nurse) to BSN bridge. Since I am already a nurse, all I need to do is to get an advanced degree. I will graduate next year. I just want this to be done because it is overwhelming. Nursing school is not predictable and they keep changing the schedule.

That's awesome- the parts about meeting your boyfriend and getting your advanced degree. Sounds like a lot of work. My sister is a nurse and she got her masters. It was hard but worth it!

Thank you, Alatariel. Nursing school is a lot, but I'm getting closer to the finished line.
