Missed my first class ever today. I just couldn't do it. I had really big tests in both classes today, and I chose to go to the first class and do that exam, and skipped the other. I feel a bit guilty for doing that, but we are allowed to miss up to 5 days of class, and there are only 5 days left of school after today, so either way, I am safe. I have an A+ in the class I missed today and I figured if I took this exam and failed it, my A would have been lost, and it would have turned into a B, or even C. I didn't want to risk it!
The pelvic pressure is just getting really strong now.
My teacher looked at me today and knew there was something up. I lost it on her. I am so emotional as it is, and whenever someone asks you if there is something wrong, you know how you kinda just open, and then the tears come? Yeah, that was me. I cried and cried talking to her. She assured me I can't fail clinicals and if I needed to come back and finish the final later, and get other things done later, that I could. She said it would show as an incomplete and it would be corrected once I am able to finish. Well, rest assured..that won't happen. I have gone this far and won't take an incomplete. I will go on..It felt good that she was so reassuring though.
So after this exam in that class, I was able to finish all but one blood draw. Can you believe it? I only have to draw blood one more time. I did a hand draw today that I had to beg one of the students to let me draw her as she was really hesitant to let me draw her hand..I am talking about drawing from the veins from the top of your hand..they are tricky. I begged her to let me since I only needed one more, and she finally gave in. Once I was completed, she told me she had never had that done to where she didn't feel it, and announced to the class that I am a good hand drawer! It made me feel really good that she didn't feel it, and that she gave me really good kudos. I try to be really gentle going in the vein, and it was nice to know that it didn't hurt. I got to check off about 6 things off my chart just getting her done today. Plus, I got 2 large tubes filled with blood and the teacher was really happy about that. We then centrifuged them. It is a tricky class, but a fun one. LOL!
So now I have to reschedule the test I missed in the other class today. I have already left a voice mail for my instructor in that class, but she hasn't called back yet. I bet she has already took off for the day today...I hope not, but either way, I can reschedule it for Monday it sounds like. It won't hurt having the weekend to study for it. They are all words I have already done, but I needed more time to refresh my mind.
Now I am off to nap. I definitely got the waddle going on now. My one teacher asked me today if I was really sure I was 33 weeks since the way I am sticking out now and walking. HA!
