This is my last day of class in my first class in the MBA program at Texas Woman's University (does that make any sense?). It was hard to get through because of the many other stresses in my life. On the first day of class, we all had to stand up and introduce ourselves and give a brief synopsis of why we were in the MBA program and where we were at in our careers. When it was my turn, I stood up................voice quivering and tears welled up in my eyes............... and I said I was in a lot of physical pain, currently not working and not sure where I'm going yet, but I'm trusting the advice of my mentor's and taking this path. The professor thanked me for my honesty and said she'll meet me where I'm at and we'll all get through this together.I love learning and education. This will be good for me, and it will set a good example for my children.
I learned I have osteoarthritis in my cervical spine (neck) along with bone spurs and significant disc degeneration, OUCH!!! I go on Thursday to get steroid injections in 5 places in my neck. I'll get another round of this one week later. I am hoping for some relief. My doctor is very optimistic that the headaches and neck pain will dramatically diminish, if not disappear. Please let him be right.
By the way, I think I stand a good chance at getting an A in my class, but I won't be able to find out for a couple weeks.
