A less gruesome offering...

It has occurred to me that the last post might have been a bit gruesome to some of you. That’s a bummer because I find all things nasty about the human body interesting – no fascinating. And this is a good thing for me because it leads me to my update for today…

First, no news on the benefits front. I’m calling almost daily and not reaching anyone and not getting a call back ever. It’s really making me mad. I’m not sure what to do besides be persistent and keep at it.

Second, I’m going to school at Lane Community College in less than a week! I’m all signed up for classes and everything is in order for me to get started. I’m going to continue to work on those medical school pre-requisite classes and taking classes that will help with the MCAT.

I’m so excited! I’m excited to be actually going to a new school and getting to know a new campus and all that goes with it. I can’t wait to get started. I am counting the days!

And the pain is pain. But I’ll manage. I remind myself that if I was taking pain killers I wouldn’t be doing everything I’m doing. And I wouldn’t give that up. I just wouldn’t. I like feeling this alive.
