Why? October 23, 2009

Why do doctors only care about unborn children and not the women carrying the unborn child? I don’t complain about pain at all. In fact, I never complain. I always go back to the fact that I was kicked in the face by horse, broke my nose in 4 places, and never cried. I can deal with pain. However, the pain I feel everytime I move is excruciating. I called L&D Tuesday and was told to rest. So, I rested for 2 days. Yesterday the pain came back and I had some spotting so I called again, went in to L&D and was monitored. Nothing was wrong with my child which is great, but that doesn’t take away from my pain. It hurts to walk, hurts to move, hurts to do anything. At L&D they told me “it’s just a part of being pregnant”. I find that hard to believe that I am in all this pain for no reason. I have seen women 9 months trucking along like it’s nothing. I know there are round ligament pains, but this is ridiculous. How can I properly care for my unborn child if I can’t even care for myself?

After going to L&D I was reassured that my son is fine. He kicked, moved, and rolled like nobody’s business. I wasn’t having contractions and I’m not bleeding or dialated. But I have severe pain that won’t go away. I just want an answer. I am happy my son is okay, but why can’t I be okay? Why can’t I get through these last 6 weeks without wanting to rip out my uterus? Why can’t these 6 weeks not feel like my uterus is being ripped out and stomped on every time I move?

I have a doctor’s appointment next Wednesday at 35 weeks. Then I will hopefully get some answers and some relief. At L&D they said I was far enough along that if labor started they wouldn’t stop it. I want my baby to cook as long as possible. I don’t want to go into labor. I just want to get rid of this pain. Is that too much to ask?

 

The good old days… October 7, 2009

Why aren’t kids excited about using microscopes? Why is it so tough for them? Why can’t they understand that there aren’t alternative online activities that truly capture the use of a microscope? We just used them in class and all I heard all day was “this is too hard,” “why do we have to learn this,” “can’t I use my laptop,” and “aren’t microscopes outdated.” SERIOUSLY?!?!?!

I feel as though some of my students really enjoyed the experience while others could care less. I kept telling them “we could be doing book work” but they could care less. Since it’s middle school what made it easier to handle was we were doing the “e-lab” and telling the students we’ll be looking at their own cells soon enough helped keep them focused. I just don’t understand why labs are so awful for students. It must be the same reason students don’t go outside and play anymore. So sad…
