Whoa! I thought I lost my account for a minute. Anyway here is what is new: I have endometriosis and possibly I have a hernia. The endometriosis is pretty bad which I knew before ever getting my CT scan. I remember not being able to sit down and concentrate in class because the cramps were super major. I had no clue that it causes you to feel lethargic, I just thought that I was lazy until I read that many women that suffer from endometriosis find it hard to get up and do things. Sometimes when I'm getting ready for work, I find that somehow it took me ten extra minutes to do something that only takes me five on a normal day. The doctors, though reluctant, have been prescribing me percocet for the pain related to the "possible" hernia. Thank the Lord, because the gynecologist I went to see gave me some frumped up version of ibuprofen, which stopped working on me in my early twenties. If I drink a wine cooler with four of them they work a little, otherwise, I feel like blowing my head off. The doctors can only prescribe so much of the percocet per year, so i have a feeling Im going to have to hit the streets for some sh*t soon! I say this jokingly, but if they don't operate on me soon, heroin looks like a nice replacement. I'm afraid I won't be able to have kids. Part of me wonders if I'd make a good parent anyways and another part of me says look at all those that abuse the hell out of their kids and they can still have some. I might just spoil mine too much. If I don't finish school it won't be necessary for me to have them anyway. I refuse to get married and have kids (and/or have them out of wedlock) without some kind of bachelor's degree. My mother warned me not to make this mistake, because she did, and she was working two jobs before her kidneys gave out on her. My dad was running the streets with this fat crack whore that would call our house and threaten our lives. We were traumatized by both of them, he would come back to the house to try to beat every inch of life out of her, until towards the end, we all started to help her fight back. She always felt that if she had of earned some kind of degree, she would of been able to move us away to a better life. Looking at the major difference in salaries between those that get a bachelor's and those that don't, I must say that I agree.
