another “I still exist” post for your enjoyment

life is crazy, crazy busy.

school is good.
i love learning about the body and how my profession can help it.
(i have to admit that some of my anatomy and physiology classes
leave me not wanting to move for fear some cell in my body will explode,
or some bone will decide it doesn’t like it’s structure and break into pieces.
not that i really think God would let go of holding all my atoms together,
but the education is definitely eye-opening and sometimes
it makes me want to twitch.)

i’m learning to like the process of learning to love people.
as “social” as i am, it surprises me sometime how uncaring i can be.
well, God did it, and He knew it would mean extra work for Him, too.  *smiles*

right now i’m waiting to glimpse the light at the end of the tunnel.
classes end Dec. 6, and then 50 hours of internship.
then i get to take the state board exam and
shell out a couple hundred bucks for a license.

the best part of life right now is,
i have hope for my future because i’ve found some friends
who encourage me and believe in me
and help me fight to keep a positive out look on life.
it’s called having hope.
it’s called belonging to a cause.
i like being part of a fight for something good.

and the best part of coming home from school three days a week
is hearing my little doll (Gracie is four now) squeal my name when she sees me.
my monkey.
i love her so much.

  1. don’t get embarrassed, but you look pretty in that picture…The Colts were who to root for in the game today, but alas, they blew it :o( I feel as though Darth Vader won in Star Wars or Russia won the Cold War…sad times…remember New England= Evil EmpireIn answer to your question, there is quite a bit that can be done for psoriasis when insurance kicks in…about 3 years ago I went through a treatment that cleared it up completely. It was a combo of oral steroids and this medicine called methatrexate, which is normally used as oral chemotherapy. It was pretty hard, because I was leading this Bible study 35 or 40 miles away on Sundays and working my normal week while taking chemo!! Psoriasis is a cellular issue more than a topical one, so the med actually “killed” the excess cells which got rid of the skin trouble. The idea was to make it go away then switch to this thing called embrel to maintain it which was very new because you can’t do chemo and steroids forever. But my insurance wouldn’t cover the embrel for various reasons, so I would have had to pay $1200 or so a month. So it came back worse than it had been…Now it is a more common med, so my insurance may cover it. There are other shots I can look into as well.It is also helped by a UV lamp (not a tanning lamp, produces the other kind of UV) which I am saving up for in the event normal med doesn’t do it all. So there are options…There is your medical moment for the day…
