Is it April?

It is raining cats and dogs outside and seems to have been since umm about the begining of september. It is rare these days that we even see that thing called the sun. I used to think that I'd love to live in Seattle with McDreamy but I'm definatley taking back every bit of that statement. It even took me 30 minutes just to find a parking spot near the library at school. I got completely drenched walking the half-mile to get to the door too, and thats with the umbrella! Now I am in here and better start on my actual homework. Hoping that by the time I am done it will have at least slowed to a drizzle.

Grades Update

So I found out my Biomechanics teacher added two more points to our test so I officially made a 76! Also, we just got our Motor Development test back from 2 weeks ago..... I got an 85!!! Yay! and My Nutrition test I took last thursday I made an 81! So far B's all around (I'll bring up that Biomechanics) Well got to go to class, just thought I'd let everyone know the good news, I passed everything! Now I just have to get through this next class so I can go work on my Drugs and Health Exam 2 thats due tomorrow.

Wishing the cloudy rainy days were over.

It's swollen again

I must've spoken too soon that my knee hasn't swelled up in a month, this past weekend it was so swollen. It started last thursday (always on the weekends, so weird) but it is finally starting to go down! thank goodness. Hopefully it won't swell up again for at least another month.

Just had to share!

I got up this morning at 5 am like I do every weekend to work my 12 hour shift at the hospital, and Will hates that I have to do that. He told me whenever we....whenever I finish school and everything is setteled down I wouldn't have to work anymore! I could just sleep in until 10 am then go work out and just do whatever it is that girls do! He has said this to me before, I won't hold him to it (for now) but it was a really good thought to think about before going into my dreaded shift today. Also when I got off last night he had the electric blanket already on the bed waiting for me, so sweet. We talked about pulling it out a few days ago, I had already forgotten about it. Also, he said when Jody (his brother he grew up with) moves out to go to med school in a year that he will start either looking at houses or possibly build a house here in tyler. Wow, things are going to be moving so fast in the next few years. I am So Excited! I am at work now and another 12 hours to go, but maybe it won't be so bad afterall. :)

I'm not allowed over, What?

I got my grades back. Well only one grade back. My motor Development teacher hadn't graded our tests yet. I did get my grade back on my Biomechanics test. I think i did ok considering it involves physics, and trigonometry and i've had neither. I spent so much time studying how to do the problems I got 24 out of 30 points on that! So I must've not done my best on the multiple choice. I did PASS (with a 74), However I did not make the B that I wanted. After telling Will he was not inpressed that I passed. He thinks highly of school and knows I can do better. Apparently I am not allowed over again until I get my grades up! Can you believe it?

Tests, sick, moving out, stupid insurance

Man has it been a week. I had my two major tests on thursday morning. They were tough! I think I may have miraculously pulled it through but I will see when I get the grades back on tuesday. My brother ran my dads truck into a pole on monday, so ive been getting up at 530 everymorning to take dad to work then picking him up, as well as going to work and school myself and studying for my two tests. I got really sick after my last test was over and thursday night I was in bed with a high fever, bad chills, aches, sinus pressure headaches, stuffy nose. I felt HORRIBLE.

Friday morning I went to the doctor (Brandon went too) and the Medical Assistant told me she was new. (this one I figured out on my own) She started taking my bloodpressure with the mobile one that they use in the hospital that you just hit a button and it reads it for you. In the Doctors office they are supposed to take it manually. While she procceeds to take my blood pressure she sticks the thomometer in my mouth;reminding you my nose is stopped up so now I can't breath. She tells me my temp is 98.6 (odd that is is the national avg, even though I had had a high temp only hours before) and now my blood pressure is raised bc i couldn't breath the whole time. Normally my BP is somewhere around 110/90, this time it was 119/98. not a huge difference and its not bad, just higher than normal becuase of the improper technique. Then she says "ok I am going to count your breath, just breath normally. OK SERIOUSLY?! You are not supposed to say that because you'll get an inaccurate reading, you are just supposed to watch that while you do one of the other steps. She obviously can't multitask (oh except when she took my BP and temp at the same time and I couldnt breath). By the end of the appointment the dr decides I need Kenalog shot and the new nurse is going to give it to me. The girl put it in my back instead of my hip/butt. I was soooo mad. Think Im gonna switch doctors.

On a lighter side, One of my friends is looking for a roomate! It is a cute little duplex 2 bedroom, 2 1/5 bath. Huge walkin closets, double garage, fireplace, everything I could ask for! I am so excited. I am hoping that it will be possible for me, If so I would move in at the end of march begining of april.

So I had surgery June 12, and following that I had physical therapy at the end of june following through mid july. My moms insurance ended June 30 and my mother frances picked up July 1. Well now my moms insurance (aetna) won't pay for the physical therapy that happened after June 30 because I was off that plan, but my Mother Frances insurance won't pay because it is a pre-existing condition?!?!?! So I have insurance and neither will pay. My physical therapy totals over $3,000 dollars! I don't even know what to do or where to start. Some one should pay right? or am I outta luck and ill just have to pay it? HELP

School and Knee update

I had my first Drugs and health test last wednesday, I made an 88 (It was open book!) This week I have 2 tests in Biomechanics and Motor Development. The biomechanics class is just a little tough for me since it involves trigonometry and physics and i've taken neither. One question on our homework was "A swimmer dives off a board 10 meters from the water, what is her speed when she hits the water?" WHAT????? So lost. Last week we went out to University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler (UTHSC) and got DEXA testing (looks at body fat percentage) in radiology. I am kinda anxious to see what the analysis results were. The test for Motor development involves about 25 questions (ok its not that easy, there are about 4 questions in each of those!)Then her tests are fill in the blank only, no multiple choice or anything so you really have to know the material. Ive got a long week ahead. Plus Ive got my other two test next week! Drugs and Health we have an Essay due that counts as much as a test and in Sports Nutrition we have a test over 1/2 the book! and there are only 2 test the whole semester so it'll count for 50 % agh!

My knee has swelled up 3 times or four since the surgery. It has died off though and hasn't swollen in maybe a month?! I was ready to go to the Dallas Dr he was gonna send me to after the first 2 times it swelled after the surgery but thankfully I waited so far. It still hurts all the time, but oh well as least its not swelling too.

Will is going to be out of town alot these next two months, this weekend he went down to college station with his guys to watch a A&M football game, and go out at night. Next month I think he is going back down there for Halloween. Then he will go to Vegas for 4 days with all the GM's from the Carinos co. And as soon as he gets back from that he will be going to Hawaii for 10 days!!! Lucky! His dad's girlfriends daughter is getting married. So we are both going to be very busy. Well me trying to study and probably going to try to avoid studying, and him off to college station, vegas, and hawaii! man, i think ill trade with him! lol

Wish me luck this week with my tests! Ill need it!

School Started!

So I finally got my car fixed! It only took four days and I got it detailed, carpet shampooed, dusted, washed, even the tires weren't black anymore! Nice to have it back I didn't realize how much I missed it while bumming rides.

School Started back this past Wednesday, I have to say my classes aren't easy. I am trying to get head... well just not get behind but it's already started, I am doing this avoiding my homework and reading. Wish me luck this semester!

My Classes:
- Biomechanics and Anatomical Kinesiology
- Motor development
- Nutrition (they wouldn't accept the one from TJC)
- Drugs and Health (pretty much the same as the Pharmacology class in nursing school, same book and everything)

Wish me luck!
