So, on Tuesday, we had to call the paramedics. I teach the 7:30 class, and was sitting in the office prepping while the other teacher was finishing up her class that ends at 7:15. All of a sudden, she comes running in the office to tell me she needed to call 911. I look out the door and one of the clients is passed out in the floor. Apparently he had a preexisting medical condition called diverticulitis. He hadn't been feeling well earlier, but our guys only get 3 absences in the year they are there. He was so worried about getting an absence that he was just pushing thru the pain until he literally collapsed.
The guys were all really good, and did exactly what we told them. I had one out front to flag down the ambulance and one at the door telling my class to wait outside so the paramedics could come thru. I'm pretty sure the guy is going to be fine...I told my boss he definitely deserves a leave of absence!
Other than that, life hasn't been too exciting. I'm heading in to the final stretch at school - 2 more big exams and 2 more papers and I'm off for a month! I'm literally counting down the days, and looking forward to spending some much needed R&R time with Brian. He has been soooo very patient with my hectic schedule these last few months.
That's all for now. I'm off to go buy some things to make this Hawaiian Dessert recipe for a potluck my class is having. I'm not a huge fan of pineapple, but I was asked to do something kinda Hawaiian for dessert...I'm not sure that I could get away without some pineapple and coconut.
blech.
