The pain is more just a soreness, and since it was a "bizarre" benign tumor, my treatment now is just some routine followup and to focus on healing. I can't believe how much this surgery has taken out of me, though. I get tired at the dardnest times.

I can't believe how bad things have gotten. I miss the classroom, but I don't miss dealing with parents or with all that administrative crap.

I'm glad you're in your school. The schools I taught in only had a school nurse one to two days a week. I hated that! What was I supposed to do on the days they weren't there? I had a girl pass out in my class once with a fever, and I couldn't do anything other than make sure she was comfortable and had water when she woke up. No nurse that day, and her mom was out of the country on a trip, so there was no one to help her get home. Felt helpless.
