I could go so many ways with the title, frustrated, thankful, old dog trying to learn new tricks...but that doesn't mattter.
I'm not one to vent, usually, because I find it moderately productive. I usually just throw things! lol Not really.
I do get frustrated, usually at myself because I don't get things right very often on the first try. Or, because they don't happen in my time frame, or the plan changes or because I have to paddle a lot harder than some people to get to the same point. But you know what, it's all good.
Everything is a learning experience and I have a lot of little bumps and bruises on my head from God throwing little rocks at me to get my attention so that I will hear Him say, "Debbie, I've got this, don't worry, don't get frustrated, just let it go and MY way will happen when it's supposed to". I am learning that to keep from having those little bumps and bruises, I have to open my eyes, my ears and my mind....and adapt.
I am by no ways a visual learner, so online learning is a huge challenge for me. I am learning as I go to find ways to incorporate writing into each section so that stuff sinks in. I have to say PTL that I think I am making progress. :))) I have started taking my coding manuals and writing down notes from each chapter as I go along with the Pathophysiology and Coding Workbook. My test scores from the first several coding exams were embarrassing because I was truly struggling. This didn't happen so much with the CPC course that I took somewhere else and I was becoming dismayed.
Things are looking up and I want to thank Linda, Glenda and especially Instructor Debby! Debby has been so helpful and I know that I have probably worried the warts off of her frog with all of the questions that I have asked and all of the redundant mistakes that I have made.
If any of you have suffered the same things and have found ways to make it easier for you, please share. Thanks for listening and I wish everyone enormous success and a blessed day!
