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.
