Wowzers, I have been a major slacker!! So here is the deal, I am going to start posting something every Sunday. This week was great! I started working and let me tell you it feels amazing. The therapists are so nice and funny. On my second day in the clinic I had a patient with low back pain, I read what the therapist did with the patient on their previous visit and said alright I can handle this. The patient was extremely nice and I even told him he was my first patient and that he might need to help me with some of the exercises. In the end, I did the exercises completely wrong and after the patient left I realized what I had done. I felt like a failure, I told the therapist what I did wrong and he said don't worry about it, how about we go over those exercises? At the end of the week I was feeling a lot better about myself. I saw 5 patients and did great with all of them with a little help from the therapists. Sometimes we have really high expectations for ourselves. Like my h...

Welp  folks I nailed another biopsy and echo yesterday! I have been feeling so good lately and I feel so blessed to be feeling this way. The docs told me I am doing great and to keep up the good work. They also told me that the patients that usually try to go back to their old way before being diagnose are the patients that strive, rather than the ones still acting ill and sick all the time. Ever since my schooling, I cherish the body. The body is such a miraculous creature and what the abilities it has amazes  me. So very thankful for my healthy body. Yesterday the docs told me to go down on my predisone  aka chubby face medicine, but I guess I went down too much on the dosage at my last biopsy... oops ! So they just said to continue on taking 12.5 mg or 2 1/2 pills a day. I can't wait to get off that drug only 3 more months!! On the 15th Genae (one of the BA LVAD nurses) and I went for a hike up Millcreek Canyon. We just chatted about medical stuff,...

What a few days it has been!! My cousins came up for the 4th, we all went to the West Jordan rodeo. I thought it was a great rodeo they had these awesome events like motor cross guys jumping off these ramps doing all crazy stuff, way cool!! We did tye  dye shirts and wore them to the Murray parade, we got some candy and watched the parade people. Man was it hot!!! That evening we had a nice BBQ with the fam  and then the kids and my mom went up to Snowbird to watch their free concert. It was jazz music so we listen and danced! Great ol ' times! And to finish off the night we watched some fireworks because it's not the 4th of July if we don't watch fireworks! Also, to my cousin finally got her ears pierced. She is turning 14 this month and her father told her she had to wait til  she was 16, but I asked him and he said it was okay. So we went and did that, she loves them! I've been searching for a job now for a while now and guess what? I finally got one!! ...
