Fall is here

There is a cold sweeping through our area, we all got it in my home. But everyone is doing well now. Yesterday, I was delivered my oxygen tanks. Technology has changed for usre since 2003. Now, a machine pulls oxygen out of the air to fill the canisters as opposed to just having the oxygen tanks that need to be refilled every so often.

I saw my hematologist last week because I was having hip pain that lingered a bit longer than usual. Even after taking my pain killers, the pain would not recede. Thus, I called and requested to see my physician. Upon a CBC test result, she informed me my blood count was a bit low, I did not think it was that low. However,because I usually run around 8 or occasionally 9, my physician did not like that I my blood count was at 7. She asked me if I had ever been put on Hydrea. To which I responded yes, Nonethesless, I told her, I felt a lot of adverse effects from Hydrea I did not like. After being on Hydrea, I began experiencing a lot of chest pain, and one of the doctors I saw at the ER thought it was best if I stopped the medication. The chest pain never occured after I stopped taking the drug.

Therefore, my hematologist told me I needed to be put on the oxygen regimen at home. I am feeling much better, but I haven't had time to sit for second and breathe in the oxygen. It has been pretty hectic at school.

I have just finished my midterms and everything went well, but I came home tonight a bit disappointed becsuse I got a B in one of the classes. I was all in tears because I had really hoped to score an A. I think I cried because I was just tired and frustrated. I went to see one of the deans at my school for temperature control in the classroom. There are times when I go to school,but the rooms are kept at such low temperatures that my bones regardless of how many layers of clothing I have on begin to hurt. I usually just sit still and waits until class is over to get under a hot shower at home or take my medicine.

Getting sick at school has happened on several occasions. So, the dean told me it was very unlikely, the school was going to adjust the temperature because they want to make sure, the classroom was not also too hot for the other students. He said that maybe I just feel the cold a bit more,but I told him it was not the case because there are some other students who also complain about the cold temperature. I told him, unlike those students who go home ok, I don't. He assured me he was doing all he could to help me. I do not understand why sometimes, classromm are just so cold even in the winter, talk about energy savings.

I was just a bit annoyed today because at times, I do wish, I did not have to go through this. But then things could be worse. But hey, I should have the right to have my bad days and cry if I feel like it. From your first day in law school, the whole school emphasizes the importance of grades. So, it is very stressful to wait for the grades to come out after exams. I am in a better mood now, though, my husband told me not be beat myself up. I am over it.
