Karen's Story

I am single and available. I live in San Diego in Serra Mesa area. I am presently attending San Mesa Mesa Community College to receive a A.A. in Spanish and Chicano Studies. I graduated from CSUSM in 2000 with a BA Liberal Arts Studies with the intention of becoming a teacher for the deaf. I had faced some obstacles that prevented me from entering that career. I had turn to different direction where the door opens an opportunity for me. I had worked for TMI, Toward Maximum Independence, an agency that supports people with disabilities to find jobs and independent living. I also had worked for Dept. of Vocational Rehabilitation as a consultant. For medical reason, my employment is on hold. No, I am not seriously sick or have a major health problem. I just need to get my arm fixed. I fell in the parking lot four years ago after seeing the production of Mamma Mia at the Civic Center. The hospital said that I didn't break it. After two year of physical therapy and chiropractor treatments, I still could not supinate my arm (turn my palm up). Finally, I had MRI done, lo and behold, they discovered that I did actually break my radial head, the joint part of the elbow. I need radial head replacement surgery. But at that time, I was...Expand for more
taking care of my grandmother, who was well into her 90s. I decided hold surgery and to continue take care of her. She passed away recently. So now I am ready to get it done. How many jobs can you think of that doesn't required to use your hand or arm? I can't do a lot of things for long period of time. Typing is one of them. Typing more than 30 minutes, aggravates it, especially the thumb and wrist part. I am going to school just to keep myself busy and for fun. Update: 12/1/2015. I'm not single anymore. I have adorable boyfriend. We've been together 2 years now. To state fact straight, initially I said I was single. I'm actually divorced. I preferred to say I'm single when I'm not in a relationship, married or not. I have three sons from previous marriage. Two of them are married. One has three lovely children. My oldest grandson is 11 years old. Yep, I'm a grandma. I don't feel old enough to be one. Yet, I am. My two sisters just recently became a grandma for the very first time. My arm has been fixed. I can supinate it. I just been to the hospital 3 times this year for other reasons. I'm fine now. I need to start exercising and eat more healthier foods. I'm looking forward to brighter future that lays ahead of me.
