Life

Okay, I’m a couple of weeks late with this one. Everything has been pretty crazy so finding time to write and update is almost impossible. Anyway, my last treatment went well, we did my back and my left wrist. My wrist was a lot more painful than I was expecting, but that’s a sign that it needs it.

The day after that, I was able to go to church. But friends had to help me out since I really couldn’t stand or use my hand. I was so glad I could go though, I love hanging out with everyone. I did make a stupid decision but I would do it again if I needed to. I needed to take my pain meds at 7pm which is when the service started. I knew if I did that I would have no idea what Pastor Lee said the next day, those meds make it hard to focus and really mess with my memory. So I ended up not taking them till almost 9pm…bad idea. I was not expecting it to be that bad when I tried to stand up. But still, I got to be with my friends and enjoy it so it was worth it.

About three days after prolo we headed for the beach, and I got to recover there, sort of. It was a fun trip, but filled with school. It was hard to type for a long time because of my wrist, and I found that I could not do much at all with it. But we did get to swim in the ocean everyday (hence the “sort of”) and that was fun but tiring. It was a good trip though, and we’re thinking about going every year.

It’s been over two weeks and I’m still being careful with my wrist. There are still some things I don’t think would be a good idea. But I am playing guitar again! That took over a week, and I overdid it the first time, but it’s getting better. I’m hoping it will be completely back to normal soon.

Oh, we now have everything ready for when I go to Montreat in a little less than a month. We went up and looked at my room, got all the paperwork in, and everything else like that. I think there are still a few loose ends to tie up, but the main stuff is done. I’m going to have one more treatment before starting school, and then just go on breaks. But the good news is that there is a break long enough almost every month till after Christmas. I think there will only be one treatment that will be off my regular schedule of one a month.

Everything has been pretty good. I’ve felt better for the most part, and I was released from the counselor I was seeing a little over a month ago. I feel good, and I feel like I’m ready for whatever.

I’ll try not to wait as long to update after my next treatment. It may still be a little bit though because I’m hoping we will do my wrist again. But we’ll see what happens. This is my last week of classes so maybe that will free up a lot of my time.
