Here We Go Again


So I have decided to write on here again.

There has been a lot go on since the last time i wrote on her. Well i guess i will just kind of start with the most recent. About a week ago i moved to Indiana to go to Nursing school and to just get healthy. I don't know if you know this about me but I have Diabetes. =)

I have never really taken care of myself and it is finally catching up with me. Geez, i sound like i am 80 years old. I'm only 26!! I shouldn't have to be dealing with this kind of stuff, right? Oh well I guess that is a conversation left for God and I to work out. Anyway, because of my extremely dull and non fighting immune system i kind of got the swine flu. I don't know about anyone else but when i think of an immune system fighting away sickness, I think of these little knights with armor on and swords! When I picture my immune system though I picture a bunch of guys laying out by the pool drinking pina coladas. They don't really feel like fighting away anything. On top of the flu, I have had something wrong with my foot for quite some time now. I went to different doctors asking what the hell was wrong and why I was in pain like it was broken and swollen three times the size of my other one if not more. Every doctor had a different story of how it could be this, it could be that. Telling me basically it was because of my diabetes and would go away the better my blood sugars were. It's funny that I am choosing a career to be working for doctors. Which the good ones are few and far between. Well, i went to the podiatrist this last Tuesday and he gave me some crushing news...I have something called charcot joint. Which first of all i want to say that if any of you read this then google it, my condition is not nearly as bad as any of the pictures that they show. It is basically because of poor management on my part of my disease and what has happened is that my ankle bone is shattered. It is non existent and so my tibia was resting on my heel bone. It is pretty freaking serious but he said he can fix it. I'm in a cast though and really can't get up to do anything. Which brings us to the perfect time to write on her again!!

So...that is what I'm doing. Just trying to get better before I start school. I'm bored a lot and I'm having a hard time this first week or so because of many different things that i will get into later. As for now I'm off to eat some broccoli cheese soup and get ready to watch the little ones trick or treat! Happy Halloween!!!
