I haven't written her for awhile now. My back is much better now I started back to work Monday wearing my back support,my back was a little sore after 12 hour shift, but felt the back support was really helpful. My job isn't really all that hard. We only have about 21 patients in the nursing home. We have a few that are really heavy. I try to use the methods that are taught to me during my years of nursing. The older I get the more difficult it is to have the strenght that I had when I was younger. Anyway thats the way it is. I am trying now to research another profession that I can get into so I can get out of nursing all together. I have been a nurse for over 25 years. I have worked in hospitals, doctors offices, other nursing homes, for a place that ok's drugs to chemists for medicaid and a place for behavior problems for teenagers. I am just burnt out. Is it all give give give, you get nothing in return. Not only do you give to the patients but also to the people that you work for,and it gets to be too much.

So Peter has came up with this idea to buy lots of things in bulk and sell them either flea market or maket yard that we have, now just have to fiure out what sells and what doesn't. Which isn't easy, right now they have sites that sell grates of suff in England but you don't get to pick your items, well you get to pick what items are on a pacticular crate but not individually. I was thinking more of hangbags,perfume and maybe some kind of house hold item... Thats as far as I have gotten in my thinking process. Maybe this week we can come with some sore of idea. Two minds are better than one so I hear anyway.

As far as my tumor in my ear goes, I am going to take the wait and see approach. I had a MRI recently and went back for a check up on the 31st of this month. It is only 4mm. Which is very small at this point to do anything to, so I am to go back for another MRI in a years time to see if it has grown and will deal with it at that time if it has gotten bigger. This type of tumor usually grow very slow, usually has to get the size of 2.5-3cm before it can cause serious problems. Now of course you can have symptoms before it become as big to cause serious problems. I already have the ringing in my ear. The most serious it can get that is grows and starts pressing on your spinal fluid and you can actually die. I have seen two procedures that can treat acoutic neruomas from this site. Well I can't find a way to add this link as of yet when I do I will add this link incase someone stops by this page and is interested.

I finally got enough energy to take down my Christmas decorations. What was a simple chore took me almost all day. LOL It was the computer breaks I just had to take between cleaning that took so long. LOL All put up for another year. Next year I might not even bother. My daughter in law emailed me and told me that her and my son are planning on coming to Ireland for a visit sometime in the year 2008. A lot of people have actually said they would like to come but haven't showed up yet. The only people that have came was my dear friend of 34 years. She and her husband came 2004. Wow its been about 3 years ago. It doesn't seem that long at all. My sister and her husband has been coming for 2 years now and haven't made it so far. She really has some problem with her son Doug. He is on drugs. She just doesn't realize he is using her right now, because he has never admitting he even has a problem with drugs. She feels sorry for him and tries to help him out. I did that with my daughter so I can't fault her for doing this. This drug problem is very bad and I don't think you ever get it a thought until it hits you personally. You then begin to go over in your head the things that have happen that you thought was a little strange but at the time it just went over your head. So you have your head int he sand most of the time, because the addict doesn't want you to know the extint of their drug use and you just don't ask questions because you want to believe they are living this life that they say they are living. Just a circle......well I am going try to wrte more often, but for now my head hurts.
