So, I'm still here. I'm starting to feel like I should be sending out a permanent change of address card, Jennifer Irwin c/o Toronto General Hospital, 200 University Ave.......... I'm so tired of being stuck here. Apparantly APPARENTLY they want to keep me for the weekend just to "observe" me, and then maybe I could go home by Monday, but that all depends on the results of my blood work today and tomorrow, if things look like they are holding steady or even better, starting to drop, then maybe I can go home. I've been off dialysis all week and things have stayed relitively the same, which is good, but it things are going to change it will start showing today and tomorrow, really tomorrow will tell it all. Also they had to ultrasound my one leg today. I have had a lot of swelling since the operation, naturally, until the kidney starts working but now that it basically is, the swelling is gone from my left leg but remains HUGE in my right, like to the point where I struggle to carry the weight of it, it's like 8kg heavier then it should be, thats like 17 lbs. So they are thinking that because it is the leg directly bellow where they put my new kidney, it might be pinching something or blocking something so they started poking around today, I should also know about that tomorrow but they say if it's any kind of a blcok, they should be able ot clear it up over the weekend, here's hoping.
So I am very happy to still have access to this computer, it's keeping me sane for the most part and giving me something to do to pass the time. I've been spending a lot of time sorting out my school and I think that I finally have a clear cut path to follow. I'm going to finish up my diploma at Seneca, which I can then transfer to York University for a full years worth of credits in their Criminology program, which is only a two year program to begin with, I would only have to take between 6 and 9 credits depending on my final average from Seneca, as it sits right now, I would only have to take 6. One year of University costs I can handle and then I would have a diploma from Seneca College and the Institue of Law Clerks in Law and a degree in Criminology from York. I can then get a better clerking job, maybe with the courts or a judge, work for a few years and then have a really good chance of getting into York's Law School. All I have to do now is actually get myself to an LSAT exam, I've done the prep course, actually twice now but have never made it to the exam for one reason or another. I will, by next Fall, I will have it done! I've actually started missing school by doing all of this, I enjoyed being down there two or three nights a week, that was enough for me, it was enough to keep me interest and keep it fun but not to much to totally consume my life. Registration for the winter term is coming up and I really want to go back now but I guess it's not to far away really.
I guess there's not really much else to say, I'm really just waiting to be able to get out of here and start my life again, machine-free, able to travel, stay out late, not be worried about getting home with enough time before I have to be up the next day, I can be normal again and enjoy spending time with all of you again.
Missing you all
Hope to see you soon
