1. start of mysterious illness (9/07)
2. mysterious illness worsens to the point that i'm unable to work and teach the way i want to, and the way my kids deserve
3. doctor after doctor after doctor until i'm a pincushion and still no diagnosis
4. i'm so ill that i fall behind on my teacher licensing, which needed to be done by the end of the school year
5. licensing got delayed, and i got caught in budget cuts
6. tried my best working part time, but couldn't make ends meet
7. no insurance now, and worsening symptoms
8. offered a job out of state, went in debt to move
9. get cut from that job, and i have a $1250 a month to pay in rent - oh, and still in debt
10. get scorched and end up with a festering cesspool of blisters for a shoulder.
11. and.... wait for it... while at the doctor's for the blistering shoulder, he discovers that i have a heart murmur.
yep, because being jobless in a town where i hang out with exactly one person (well, one and a half, i guess), have exorbitant rent and a few thousand dollars in debt, and a medical condition with no know cause or cure just isn't enough. let's add a heart murmur to the mix. and because my mother occasionally reads this blog, i can't swear as much as i would really, really, really like to, so i'll just leave it at what the hell?!? aaaaarrrgh!!!

OHHH GRIEF< i forgot the bloody government in your country doesn't give everyone medical coverage by just be a citizen! Girl you need to become Canadian!!! I hope you are ok!
dude, if i could figure out how to become canadian easily, i'd have done it yesterday. automatic medical coverage is probably the best nationality perk ever! plus, i tend to like the people there better...
