I want my life back!
...is exactly how I've been feeling these past three weeks. It looks like with all of my doctors appointments and medical testing that I'll be having at least 2 doctor appointments a month for the next 8 months. I know what you're thinking. Two days out of the whole month isn't a big deal. Perhaps I'm just burned out from having three doctor appointments this month. I want my life back and have two weeks where my arm isn't being poked by a needle. I don't mind needles but I'm getting annoyed at them since I've been poked by a few of them lately.
Other than that, life is good. I have good friends (even though the squishy doesn't seem to be answering my texts), I have an awesome boyfriend who is willing to listen and learn from whatever tiffs we've had, and I managed to do a 6 mile hike yesterday. Other than my feet hurting and my legs feeling a teensy bit tired, I felt great. I would have never been able to do that hike when I was 20 lbs. heavier. I just need to remember that I'm doing all I can right now and this whole journey is all about taking one achievement at a time instead of looking at how far away I am from the big goal at the end of the tunnel.
I decided to enroll into this Biostatistics certification program at the UCSD extension office. Work will be paying for at least the first course (there's five courses altogether) and maybe whatever skills I learn from it will enable me to help with the data analysis part in the future. Almost all of the classes are online and the one class that isn't, is part online and part evening class. I'm probably going to take one class per quarter or one every other quarter, depends on the schedule.
