I had a fun day today! My one nurse kept commenting on how she loved to see me so happy. Wonder why I was so happy?! :) Angela, Rachel, and Ashley all came to visit me today. I have been greeted as "Dr. Marida" ever since Wednesday, which is pretty fun! I got my letter today and got to go through all the stuff. I filled out my acceptance forms and got all that ready to be mailed in!! It's really happening!! There is SO much to be done though, it's kind of crazy! I have to fill out lots of different things, take tests online, figure out where I can take chemistry this summer, and last but not least figure out how in the world I am going to pay for medical school!! But it's okay, I'm not freaking out, I know it will all be fine and work out. I am, on the other hand, starting to be a little nervous about my surgery. I'm not actually nervous about the surgery part because all I have to do is go to sleep (and wake up move my feet then go back to sleep for the wake up test). I'm nervous about the recovery. My friend who had her surgery last Thursday is till not doing to well, she is in pretty bad pain. And everyone tells me it will be harder since I'm older. But I did talk to a nurse who said my friend is an unusual case, pain medicine is helping her. She said I shouldn't worry or expect her recovery but still I don't know what to expect and that is hard for me. I'm just ready to get it done and over with!! It's coming!
I talked to my resident today about my progress. She said my clinical photos show a good improvement. She is going to print me a copy. I know I ask a ridiculous amount of questions, especially compared to my roommate who doesn't want to know anything, but that's just how I am. Angela got picture happy today. I was looking at them and thinking I guess I don't look to weird with my Halo. I still can't wait to get this thing off my head!! I long for the day when I can blow dry and straighten my hair!!!
