HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMMY BOY!

Happy Birthday Tommy, I hope you had an incredible day!!! I put a picture of Ben up because it seems like we only take pictures of him these days but how could you resist he is so darn cute. 

Well I had a CT angiogram for a questionable MRA that I had a month ago and I got the nest news in the world today!!!!! What they thought they saw turns out to be nothing more than a variant of normal!!! Leave it to me to be abnormally normal.If anyone has ever had a CT with contrast man that contrast feels weird...I seriously thought I peed myself but they told me it is a feeling that everyone gets.....I was like whoa...

  SO next week I see a new cardiologist and hopefully we get a good report from him as well.  

God is good! whenever I have been scared about this medical stuff I have been asking him to hold me very tightly in the palm of his hand. and the comfort I get from him has been overwhelming! I have been getting  the feeling that I need to start keeping a journal of all these challenges I have faced and someday I will have an amazing testimony to tell.  

Who said work can't be fun?!!!!

Feels like spring temporarily.....I'm taking advantage of it!!!! We are going to grill out tonight and we have all the windows open to get some fresh air in here.

We went to Mizzou yesterday to watch Chaminade play basketball...besides them winning which was exciting...we ate at Quinton's and I had a total trip down memory lane!!! Alot has changed down there in 7 years but it all came back to me..eventually....

Doctor update well there are a few things I still need to get clearance on but so far so good. I saw a cardiologist and I did not agree with him...he said that I need a pacemaker.......I told him no I don't think so....so I am going to get a second opinion..He was talking all sorts of crazy talk. So I really just discounted him right off the bat. I feel pretty good about all of the tests and I feel like I am going to walk away just fine. This is a pretty through work up and I think if you go scanning anyone you will find variants of normal...so I am not freaking out at all.

Here is a funny picture of me and my glasses that I wear at work in the patients rooms...the teenagers just love it the little ones don't know what to think. Gotta have some fun even if you are at work.  I was on nights this week so anything to stay awake....

Something I am hooked on right now is EBay...I mean this is great I found Armani Code perfume on there for $25.....seriously....now I am looking for everything on there from lip gloss to clothes. 

I also bought Very Sexy this week from Victoria's secret they also have a new scent out but I can't decide if it is too grown up for me...(aka old lady) I will need Sarah's opinion on that!

Life in the fast lane!!

Well as usually for me life has been a mile a minute not only filled with full time school, full time work, and 260 hours of clinicals in my free time.....I have been even busier with a Brain MRI, Brain EEG, 2-D Echo, EKG,  lots of blood work, and wearing a halter monitor for 48 hours (which itched so bad).  I made my mom go to everything with me even in the MRI room because I was scared.  She was awesome she changed into scrubs and came with me and held my toe(because they put this Hannibal Lecter mask on me and put me in a tube and my toes where the only thing hanging out). It was really weird and loud.  I just kept on pretending I was in a tanning bed.  As far as the results well I have been a bad girl and looking up my own results which is not a good idea because I am NOT a doctor especially not a neurologist or a cardiologist and I freak myself out. So I am going to wait until I have my appointments next week before I jump to conclusions.  One thing I have realized is that life is not a guarantee and we need to make it a point to cherish every moment.  I have had some scares LATELY and really most of the things in life are things that do not really matter!!! I know I will be fine no matter what but I am trying to make a point to stop and smell the roses and enjoy LIFE a little bit MORE.  I was talking to my mom and I realized that all people do not have the determination and drive that I have....always wanting to accomplish more...save more people....learn more knowledge....be a better person.....some people are content with where they are in life...not that I am not content I just can't help to think that GOD created me with so much potential to be more....So that is why I push myself to these crazy limits but I am realizing the importance to slowing down.....and I am working on it.

Tonight is my last 8 week class so that's is one less thing. Right!

Can't wait for our summer vacation and then my little brother Matt's wedding...Until then I am dreaming of the days where the sand is so hot that it burns my feet!!!!......Ahh delightful
