General Updates

Ok, so tomorrow is finals for all of us at Everest. I have my Criminal Justice final at 8 am and it lasts for an hour an half later....So, with only one hour of sleep in the last 2 days and the stress of what is to transpire tomorrow I am gonna have to cram a little. I basicly just have to read over chapters 2-4 and I should be good. We actually should have been up to Chapter 7, but our teacher is cool as all hell and when we all have something to say about something we are talking about or passionate about, he lets us have our talks for a few minutes before we have to go back to the book.
Next term I have Criminal Sociology, Math, and Computer Applications. I have taken Comp Apps 2 times before and the second time I couldn't really deal with it because I was way to bored with the teachers method of teaching and his disrespect in insisting on calling me SHE/HER and the like when everyone and their mother know me and how I am.
I, unfortuantly this next term have that same teacher again. This time he knows not to call me she. I have permissoin from the a few staff memebers there..that everytime I'm called or referred to in a feminine manner then I am to adress him in the same. If he puts up a fuss, then maybe he'll know or understand.
Brandie has Medical Terminology, Accounting and Keyboarding I believe. She is doing so well, and words can't express just how truely proud I am of her and her accomplishments thus far. Her dedication even with her medical problems and being sick for 2 weeks out of the 6 that her term was and still getting pretty much ALL of her work in? Now that's awsome.
I need to make it clear that it's not that I don't care about my work or what I do but I try to make sure that she is taken care of before myself, which is something that we both are working on to better me. She know's just how much I love her and how much I care, and knows that I realize that I have to make that same investment into me. She is proud that I am atleast taking the steps towards making this up coming term better then any I have had prior.

Now here is where I insert something, and here it is. I know just how much I am worth, I know what my value is. I know what I am willing to sacrifice and what I want to gain. I know what steps I need to make my goals a reality and not just dreams. I have expressed to everyone that I love and care for around me that if from now on I seem a little more into my school books then before, it's not because I am trying to ignore anyone at all.

So onto the medical updates:

Brandie's workmans comp company for some idiotic reason has stopped paying for her prescriptions for her back, so her lawer is all over that. Her Endo and the Anti-Coagulation Clinic have spoke to her Hemotoligist and I beleive found a doc to do the biopsy on her thyroid. So in a few weeks here, we are hoping...her thyroid and the two masses will be removed.

My back is still doing good, though I have my bad days. Like the other day it acted up real bad to where Dennis, one of our room mates had to take me to the hospital because my ass was in so much pain and my left leg had to be beat on to make the pain stop. When I got into the hospital, they immediatly put me in a wheel chair, did the vitals and basic work up..and I eneded up with about 4 shots of dilodid and one shot of Toridol.
I also have been offically diagnosed as being Gender Dysphoric so the steps are getting closer and closer towards me being able to finaly start taking T shots. First I have an endo I want to talk to that another guy goes to here in Portland, see if she will be willing to work with me money wise and then find out just how much my body is naturally making an go from there.
My mental issues, the depression...has gotten so much better since switching to Cymbalta and getting these other steps set into motion as well as getting my school life into more order.

So I guess that is about it for now.....If you're some place where it's warm and you're sweating bullets...go sit in a nice walk in freezer at your local fast food joint. It works....

If you are just enjoying good weather and not suffering.....I hate you. LOL.

Blessed be and I hope this finds you all in great spirits. Enjoy your summer and be SAFE!
