Wow! Looks like there's a lot of new developments I haven't chronicled here, though I do more journaling on myspace. Myspace has kind of irritated me of late; it just seems like I'm growing out of it a bit(or some of the people I know are just too infantile). My facebook page has been brought back to life, because several close friends and a couple of family members have pages. It's easier to keep in touch that way. Anyway on to the updating!
First my newest great occurrence: Friday May 15th I graduated from college; after a long, hard, and sometimes dark road I finally made it. Wouldn't have gotten there had it not been for my family and friends-many friends are considered family. Many people have asked me what will come next; the truth is I haven't a clue. I've been researching colleges for further education prior to graduating from this one. The first major plan- a well deserved break. The last three and a half years have been hard; a break is necessary. For one thing time off will help make my next decisions more sound. My shoulder and neck are still giving me trouble from the car accident a few years ago; on my Mother's advice an attorney was consulted. The insurance company refuses to pay further medical bills and care is still necessary. The independent medical evaluation they had done even pointed that out, but apparently insurance companies just hear what they want and twist findings to their opinion. Hopefully that issue will be sorted out soon; in the mean time I have chronic neck pain and headaches. They want to use a migraine history against me, but my primary care physician sent me to a neurologist. After seeing him last week he agreed with me. The headaches aren't migraines; none of the medications for migraines work!
My Mom has been annoyed, because the insurance company giving us so much grief is HER car insurance company. She paid for extra insurance in case we were ever hit by an underinsured or uninsured driver; it irks her I am not getting the car I need when she knows they could settle this for enough to take care of me. Truthfully I'm scared this pain won't ever go away- it's been here so long sometimes it's hard to remain positive.
My shoulder is another story after surgery and physical therapy the injury has improved; however pain has returned making me believe the bone spur in the joint has reoccurred.
Another update from about a year ago it seems I was remiss in mentioning: On my 22nd birthday my boyfriend Rob proposed to me. I couldn't believe it when I saw it was never mentioned here. In case you are wondering what my reponse was- it was a resounding yes! We've had our ups and downs; in about a month we'll have been together two years. Neither one of us can picture life without the other- he's my best friend. He loves me for the woman I am; this is even now a bit strange, because there's never been a man in my life like him before. Through every up and down he has remained never giving up on me. When tears fill my eyes he has broad shoulders to lean on, he makes me laugh, he makes me think about a better future, and sometimes he drives me a little crazy- but he's a part of me and I'm a part of him. Besides when he drives me nuts I can give it right back.
Okay that's a long enough journal entry for now, besides if anyone has questions they can always message me and ask.
God bless you
