So,

About that getting better at blogging thing. 

A lot has happened since the last time I was on here. One of the biggest things to happen was me moving home to Vermont. We left on Sunday and I have been home ever since. On Monday I spent the day with my mom and worked on thank you notes. In the afternoon I went for a small walk and lifted some very light weights with my mom. I finally think I have decided what nursing program I am going to apply to, and have found the place where I start taking my pre recs online. So I will be starting that soon, and starting to work on my application. I was debating for a while if I should do a BSN which is a bachelor’s of science in nursing which is an accelerated 18-20 month depending on the school program, or if I should do a direct entry masters in nursing program. I think I have finally decided just to apply to masters programs. So I have been researching programs all over and I did a bunch of that during the day too. Tuesday I was back down to Boston with my younger sister Alex to doctor appointments. She took the whole day and drove both there and back just so I could see my doctors. It was so nice of her. I saw derm and they said that my skin will eventually fade, the finger nails will finish falling off, my hair will grow back, and the weight from the steroids will come off EVENTUALLY. Wonderful. So who knows when that will happen but EVENTUALLY I will be normal again. I actually had been corresponding with my amazing primary care doctor too because I was not to sharp and decided to go off my pain medications cold turkey which resulted in terrible withdrawals for four days. Never ever again. So she was accommodating enough to see me and to make a long story short I am back on a very low dose of my pain meds again. So that is good, on the bright side my shaking and throwing and chills have stopped on the downside im back on the pain meds. On Wednesday I actually went for a walk with the dogs on the dirt road by our house. Neo was thrilled to have me walking him again. OH I haven’t even mentioned that yet. I got my dog back on Sunday!!!!!! My step dad was SO amazing and took wonderful care of him for the 8 weeks I was in the hospital and then at grammys. So on Sunday we stopped by his house and I got my dog. He had just given him a bath too, so not only did I get my dog back but he smelled good and was clean. Neo and I have hardly left each other since. He follows me everywhere I think he is worried I might be leaving him again if he doesn't  Back to Wednesday, my childhood best friend came over after work so that was so nice to catch up with her. We talked for a long time and then I had dinner and went to bed. Yesterday my dad drove me to Boston for more doctors appointments. But before I was able to have lunch with a coworker which was SO nice. Then I was able to go see my work family and visit for a bit. That was great! After, I had an eye appointment the first of many to come apparently. I learned that my eyes have a lot of scar tissue on them and actually my tear ducts are scared shut, hence the watery eyes all the time. So he said I will be very closely watched and then a whole bunch of other stuff. Apparently there is a chance I could lose my vision in the future so I have to make sure I do not miss or stop seeing him for a while. Yeah, fun huh. After I saw my primary care doctor. We got home so late last night, I didn't get home until 10 and I went right to bed. So that is pretty much the scoop!
