Mayo

Good news! I am going to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester on October 29th. Hopefully some answers will be found. I am willing to try almost anything to get rid of the pain. My mom wanted us to stay at the Ronald McDonald House the night before I see the doctors because my appointment is so early but I am too old so we will either be getting up at the crack of dawn or getting a hotel room.

My pain has been pretty bad lately and I have thought multiple times about taking Vicodin to try to make the pain lessen. Normally it doesn't work and since I am allergic to it, I get extremely sick from taking it. Each time I take it I seem to get more and more sick. I think pretty so I won't be able to take it because the reaction is so bad. I am trying to refrain from it by reminding myself that it really doesn't get rid of my pain anyway but pain is a big motivator to try something again and again even if it didn't work the first time.

I am also having alot of pain in my hands and wrists. It makes it pretty hard to take notes and write papers. I'm hoping that goes away soon and I can concentrate more on my studies.

Moved In

Well I am finally comfortably moved in. Now my residents are moving in today and this week. I'm hoping I have cool residents. I have both guys and girls so that should be interesting. Also, some of my residents are older than I am. Anyway, I am looking forward to being a CA in my residence hall.

I got my bed lofted so I can also have a futon in my room. :)

Unfortunately I can't watch T.V. on that television. That is my videophone.

My door covered with other CAs door decerations. The ones that I made for my residents looks like the one that is in the center of my door between the peepholes with the sign language on it. I think they turned out pretty well.

This is my doorbell. I had to make signs for it because last year people would walk by my room and push it for fun. I decided that I should post them right away so everyone knows why it is there and I don't run into problems with it.


This is my fire alarm (complete with flashy light) and my doorbell that flashes blue every time someone pushes the button. Its pretty sweet.
