Good thoughts please DS takes test

16 years ago

Good morning! Please can you send some good thoughts DS's way? He takes his certification test for EMT for the second time at 11 am EST. He needs all the help he can get. He knows the stuff, aced his hands on test, but has a hard time with paper/computer tests. It's all in his brain, but getting it on paper or in the computer for a test has always been hard for him. We won't get results until next week sometime.

Thanks guys :) really appreciate the good thoughts. Actually Maggie, I'm in radio, and we do talk about it a little on the air, the guy I do the morning show with is a big animal lover, so we do a lot of dog and cat stories etc..What I really want to do is get with my primary vet, I haven't really talked to him since the initial rupture...I know that he is inclined to reccomend euthanasia for these type cancers :( as they are so aggressive. I just want to show him Bob, and offer my number to anyone contemplating what direction they want to go in. I have no regrets on what we did with Bob. He really suffered no ill effects to speak of from the treatment...His quality of life is excellent at the moment...I am also thinking about starting up a message board for this type of thing. I joined a cancer group on yahoo, but they were sooooo restrictive, and moderated everything, drove me nuts. Anyway I may have to look into that. Thanks again for all the well wishes, I can't tell you how grateful I am that he is doing so well, everyday when we go for our walks in the pasture, I see him galloping ahead of me:) I raise my head and say a little thank you :).

It looks like they've reached their goal! =) It's good to see large companies like that helping others. Since October is breast cancer awareness month, I put some auctions of bulbs on ebay and am donating 20% to Susan G. Komen for the cure =) and with the bulbs I'm including a free gift, little goody bags full of breast cancer awareness items (pencils, bookmarks, bracelets...) they're really cute! I'll have to take a pic! Tiffany

Daane, first, I am so sorry for the loss of your step-daughter. How vey sad. I presume she was young. Did she have a family? Next -- I applaud you for being so conscientious about your health. So many of us let it slide. One thing I've learned working in a hospital is that early detection of almost any health situation is key. The surgery sounds scary but it sounds like this could resolve your condition. I hope so and will be thinking of you. (Every time I hear ISlets of Langerhans, I think of Biology class. That "part of the body" was always easy to remember since the name is unique.) Hugs to you Diane -- except after the 25th they will be very soft hugs for awhile.

Around here, the (smallish) "Driver's Handbook" used to cost about $15.00 ... ... but you can borrow one from the library for three weeks - for free! We have to take a consultation with about a dozen others and written text questions and sign recognition questions every two years after age 80. Good wishes for successful completion of your test(s), Bengardening. (One learns something new every day - I didn't know that moths had periods). ole joyful

Hope he did well! My DS gained a lot of confidence in his ability to take tests by first becoming an ENT and then going on to become a paramedic. From what you said, your DS sounds like mine: Smart, good learner, but tests on paper are hard for him. (At one time our DS did better reading and writing while wearing yellow-tinted lenses.)

My DH went thru the same thing years ago. He's great with the hands on but gets nervous taking written tests. He eventually passed and so will your DS. But as an extra I'll say a little prayer - I konw it's late but it still can't hurt.

Thanks everyone! While taking it, he thought he was doing ok. After he finished, he thinks he didn't. But, the first time he took it, he thought he did great. He's taking this as a sign he passed. They will mail the results next week.

I'll post when we find out.

I bet he did fine. I know it is a great deal of very complicated, tough material, and anyone except maybe a doctor or nurse would have to work hard to pass. Thinking good thoughts for him, so do keep us posted.
