Hi Debra,

It says "severe" diabetes so that makes it "severe" systemic.



Are you a Blitz student?

yes I am. AHHHHHHH i made a stupid mistake. Yes I am a blitz student and I take my test Feb 7th. I spoke with you before I have an injury from a 455 Ib patient and can no longer do my job as a respiratory therapist. I had taken a class 2 years ago for coding as a second job, but now with the changes I must make it my full time job. The injury is permanent and I will be unemployed soon. I have to pass my test or I will loose everything and my daughter and I can not loose everything I won't allow that. So if I seem anxious I am sorry I am just scared. Thank you so very much for all your help I am sure you will be hearing from me soon.

Oh yes I remember you :)

I understand the anxiety. Just slow down when reading the questions and don't over think the answers :)
