Moving forward

Time to stop whining and start working on my life.

1. Called Molloy college and set up an appt with the MSW programs director for March 5th. I already feel comfortable from just speaking with her on the phone. She is sending me a packet of things I need to get together. I would not start until the fall but if I need prerequisites I can do them in the summer.

2. Took a major walk this morning with Jazzy, Mom and my aide Georgianna all around Long Beach(1.2 miles). It was so delightful out and I can not tell who was happier to get outside, me or Jazz. He is passed out right now:

3. Did all my PT exercises outside on the balcony watching the ocean. I got through all of them, then Georgianna stretched out my left leg and hip. I felt like I accomplished something. I feel like that after every PT workout, even though the foot and left arm are not progressing as well as I want.

4. One of the restaurants near me is having a dinner and psychic night. My friend Andrea, a friend of hers, my mom and Georgianna are going. Full dinner, soup to dessert and a 15 minute reading. As much as I want the reading, getting out and being with people is just as important for me to feel normal and not an invalid.

5. I was suppose to see John Edwards, the psychic not political candidate, last month but the gallery session got rescheduled for April 17th. Again, I want to get a reading but it is just as much for being with friends. There are 4 of us going.

6. I got approval for an MRA: explanation: MR angiography (MRA) is an MRI study of the blood vessels. It utilizes MRI technology to detect, diagnose and aid the treatment of heart disorders, stroke, and blood vessel diseases. MRA provides detailed images of blood vessels without using any contrast material, although a special form of contrast material is often given to make the MRI images even clearer. The procedure is painless, and the magnetic field is not known to cause tissue damage of any kind.

This one should come back normal also. Goodness forbid something show up to explain things....

Still waiting on MRV approval: Explanation:MRV stands for magnetic resonance venography. It is an MRI studies of the blood vessels. MRVs are used to assess abnormalities in the blood vessels of patients with a history of stroke, aneurysm, heart disease, and atherosclerotic vascular disease.

March is going to be an interesting month.
