Getting Somewhere!

A few weeks back, I was talking about how IUN would only give me 18 of my 94 credits! Well,all that has changed and now I need only 29 to graduate!...That is more like it! But, the only catch is it is a degree in general studies. My first thought...What the hell!...Then, I thought about it. Anymore, employers just want that piece of paper. Yeah, a certain area would be nice, but it didnt work out that way.I plan on getting my masters anyway....whatever...It is a degree. Even cooler yet, since Bloomington was so important to me and I worked so hard...The lady I am working with, knows a way to have my degree, say at that tiny print at the bottom...Issued in Bloomington. Thank you Joan!!(that is her name).
On Wednesday, my awesome friends...James and Joe...who I owe, took me to Evanston,Northwestern where I had my surgery ,to have an MRI which I have every four months and meet with my neurologist that was at my surgery. I never thought in a million years, my friends would be taking me for an MRI...I am so lucky and grateful I have friends like that. Anyways, my nueurologist appoinment went well. No changes in my scan!!! I asked a few questions and she said something I never thought about. How I lived the last year before surgery, living the lifestyle I did.The part of the brain the tumor was in or around was not much bigger than the tumor itself...So, she thought it was nuts that I could have somthing that large in my brain and still function... CRAZY! Also, from how she was talking,I am further along than she expects. You know, doctors are very intelligent and have many years of school, but people tend to forget...They are just human. Just because the book says something does not mean it is right. We all know, books can be wrong. Everyone has different healing abilities,levels of motivation or work ethic and point of view etc. I have a good friend and her Mom is a radiologist. She has to tell people all the time "you have cancer" They always ask, will I live or die.People that she has told will die, refuse to beleive they will die and somtimes have not. The people she has told will live, sometimes die because they let it get to them. When people say "Attitude is everything" ...man, is that true!!!
