Update
It's been awhile since I updated and since I have no job I have a ton of free time, so I might as well update.
Summer has been awesome, I've done something everyday and kept very busy, and it's going by way too quickly. Tomorrow I'm going to Chicago with James, Alix and Schulz for the Pitchfork Music Festival. I'm pumped cause there are a lot of good bands and Chicago is always a good time.
I went to Ann Arbor yesterday and got my whole artery/vein problem figured out. It turns out after 5 days at Beaumont and 10 tests it's been determined that I have a two superficial blood clots, one in each arm, but since thery are only in superfical veins they are very unlikely to cause any problems so that's not a big deal. I found out that what they thought was a blood clot in my shoulder in a deep vein is really my extra cervicle rib compressing the vein and artery. It's pretty much a birth defect so that's cool haha. When I lift my arm or pressure is put on my shoulder it completely closes off the artery and veins and I completely lose blood flow to the arm. So after seeing one vascular specialist he told me to just not wear a backpack or do anything with that arm, like lifting anything or doing any sports where i need to life that arm up. I decided I wasn't going to do that cause I'm 20 and that's all I do, so we went to Ann Arbor to see a recommended vascular surgeon and he right away says "Yea, that rib needs to come out." So July 31st I'm getting the rib out and I'm pumped about that. I won't have to worry about what I do after that.
I'm also really excited to move into the apartment in late August with Andrew. It just sucks that means we will be back at school. Well, hope all is well with everyone, I'm going to go shower.
