How is it that my life was already imploding by 11:30 am today? I feel like nothing has gone right for a week straight. I called the hospital this morning to find out what was going on with my application for financial aid and was told to call back on Thursday as it still has not been approved. I got a call a few hours later saying that they needed to reschedule my surgery because my surgeon is needed in another surgery that day. It has been moved to the 20th instead of the 17th, which means that I will not be able to recover before the beginning of next quarter.
I have no hope of continuing school now. I have no idea if/when I'll be going back to school, if I'll be able to find work in the meanwhile, when I'll have my surgery, or how much my medical expenses will be. In fact, I know very little about my life at the moment. I have finals this week and I am not sure I'm going to pass all of my tests. I've submitted a request for a medical leave of absence from school. If they approve it then I will just get marked "incomplete" for this quarter instead of failing out of my classes.
The phrase "gone to hell in a handbasket" seems to very much apply to my life right now. I have been frantically trying to hold all the pieces together these past few weeks and now it feels like they've been slapped out of my hand. I have had so much bad news in the last few weeks that I feel numb. All I want now is to survive the next three days and then sleep for a week.

Oh how I wish I could step in and take over! :( Accepting these life events and going through them is the most difficult thing we deal with in life. Especially when ignorant people compound the hardship with processes that should be simple and straight forward. But I have learned to put my hope in that moment when all the unraveled ends get tied back together in a beautiful, new bow and we begin on that new path that is even better than it was before. I look back on life events that have unraveled my path, sometimes for years, and know that I can get through the next one in front of me. But I still don't have to like it. ;P
