Hello,
I know it’s been awhile since my last update. No news is good news, right? Right. My 6 month post-chemo labs done over a week ago were all completely normal. My CA125was 8.2, well within the normal range. They’ll be done again December 17th, so will try and do a more timely update after that.
My other news is that I’m starting a very part-time nursing job tomorrow. I’d been thinking about it for some time, not sure if I could find anything without having recent clinical experience. I’ll be doing supervisory home visits for CNAs providing services for children under 18 with developmental disabilities. Lots of Downs, Cerebral Palsy, etc. The state requires a visit every 2 weeks just to ensure that the CNAs, PT, OT and/or Speech therapists are following the established treatment plan and a brief physical assessment of the child. I make my own schedule and can take as many or as few clients as I want. I’m starting out with 7 and can increase the number when and if I want to. The office is about a mile away (as the crow flies) and the two nurses who own and run it are great. Most of the clients live in our part of town. I’m really excited about it. I have the impression that a monkey could do this, but the state requires an RN (go figure). It’s a great way for me to get back into working away from home and something in healthcare. I’m just going to take it one step at a time. It sort of feels like my first step back into a normal (?) life. It’s been a long year…
Love you all,
Nyshie
