I was suppose to go visit my Aunt for her 89th birthday in June. My cousin asked me to go. So I made arrangements. I got a two bedroom condo with my friends time share points and I planned the trip. Then my cousin and all the family I invited backed out on me……so I collected three friends who are going with me, however when I planned all this Coffee should have been done with chemo and because it has run longer then it should, we are still doing chemo. So I cut out trip shorter and made it more of a long weekend but now I don’t know if I should go at all because I don’t want her upset. I hate this …..

My friend Amy who is still teaching had her class write persuasive letters to the Mayor and had a week proclaimed kindness week. I applaud her creativity. I miss my classroom so much and I think she’s wonderful for still teaching. Kindness week was also put in cease fire week in Milwaukee. Too many shootings and dead teenagers.

THIS WAS REALLY ME,

It was three years ago today I went to the orthopedist doctor and he sent me to the emergency room. Not only was my neck injured again by Lamonte but I had more symptoms then just a neck injury. A concussion…… my third ….they say if I get hit in the head again, I could die. The doctors wouldn’t let me go back to school for the rest of the year. I won’t see my first graders again this year and I won’t get to say goodbye. How sad.

We are in week 18 of chemo. We are 3/4 a way thru chemo. If we get chemo this week next week is a break week and then 4 more doses to go.

When we go to Madison we see the cutes mini van, maybe I should call it a micro mini van. I love it!

Three years ago today Lamonte went off with his temper in my first grade, and broke the cabinet door off and pulled everything out of the cabinet. My first graders, had a code word for leaving our classroom when he got violent and they knew always to keep the classroom door locked and and pulled right.

Well after they removed Lamonte because he of a violent outburst, one of my boys went to the bathroom and didn’t pull the door tight…….

So when Lamonte got loose from where they had taken him and came back….he saw me putting the materials back on the closet that he had torn apart earlier. He became enraged because he I was kneeling putting the stuff back in the closet and that’s when his fist got me, my head between the closet and his fist. Little did I know that was causing a traumatic brain injury and would effect the rest of my life!
