I know I am not doing well

Due to last weeks adventures with the doctors, this is what I just posted to my school professors….Understand that my heart is tender at this point.  I was hoping to be almost back to normal.   I am not.

Dear Professor,

As you know I have a condition that has caused me to get accommodations through Kaplan’s disability.  This means lots of doctor appointments, medication and therapies.

In a recent visit, it has been determined that my drug therapy has slowed my degradation, but not to where I can remain totally functional.  The doctors have decided until I get some tests done before determining which drugs to try next.  These will be scattered over the next couple of months.

The reality is that I am not getting better.  I am finding it harder and harder to concentrate and the pain and exhaustion is unrelenting sometimes.  I am determined to finish school.  I have only one more class after this term.  The capstone.

I will do my best to meet all your deadlines and provide professional work.  In the event I am late,  please allow me the standard allowance.  I am determined not to turn in anything late anymore.  I will strive towards that goal.

Everyone asks me if I will leave my job when I finish school.  At this point, I think I will be happy to finish school, celebrate, and be happy I have a job that I can do with my condition as it is now.  I had high dreams when I started this journey with Kaplan University.  I have had wonderful teachers every single class.  Including you.  The reality is that I really don’t know how much longer I will be able to work.

I have remained in contact with my education advisor.  She is aware that I am contacting you regarding my illness.

Thank you so much for your valuable time.

May you have a wonderful day.
