when it rains.. it pours..

It has been a really long, difficult week.

I've been having ankle pain for quite some time now. I went to Cambridge, Ohio to see my doctor, Dr. Rass. He decided to send me to a specialist, Dr. Chlovechek who specializes in sports medicine. So less than a week later I was back out in Cambridge to see him. After looking at my x-rays, he decided to schedule an MRI for the following day and then a followup for the day after that. Well, I hadn't anticipated staying in Cambridge for that long so I had to drive back to Columbus to get some clothes and whatnot. Well, the next day when I left Columbus I got into some pretty heavy traffic and some rain so I ended up making it to my appointment 15 minutes late. My mom called the office on the way there and they told her that they hold appointments for 30 minutes. Well, when I got there ( 15 minutes late.. 15 minutes under the maximum wait time ) they refused to see me. So I had made the trip for nothing. I even told them I had to drive over two hours in the pouring rain, battling traffic all while missing an important exam at school.. and they still wouldn't see me. B'otches. I certainly gave them a mouth full.. they denied ever telling my mom that they would wait half an hour on me to get there. SOOO, needless to say I wasn't too happy with them. I was pretty pissed until I spent the rest of the night with my nephew. Then I went back to the doctor the next day and told him what had happened. He went ahead and braced my ankle and gave me a number to reschedule my MRI at my convenience. Of course, I refused to go back to that place.. so now I'm going to have it done at the hospital. I haven't scheduled my appointment yet.. eventually I'll get around to it.

I also got off the ortho evra birth control patch. We are trying to fix all the problems I've been having with my cervix and whatnot.. soooo... looks like I'll be swallowing the pill now. Not even sure how on earth I'm going to remember.. ugh. What a great 3.5 years I spent with you patches.. farewell.

Tonight I got a really tough phonecall. I was sitting in the hall in Smith lab waitin for my 6:30 lab and got a call telling me that my Grandpa had died tonight. He was working on a car and it fell on top of him. I'm still completely tore up and shocked. I rescheduled my makeup exam for tomorrow morning.. and I instead of going to portsmouth to be with my family.. I'll be meeting my professor. I feel really bad but it's too late to change it.. and I can't just not show up. So, after I take the exam and clean out the tapeworm dishes for my group.. I'll drive and meet up with my family. It's going to be really sad and hard on everyone.. I just still can't believe it. I lost my other grandpa a few months ago.. and sassy ( our oldest pet ) died a few days ago. When it rains it pours...

I have managed to get a couple of more photos of the baby... he is growing up SO fast and right now he is going through is "awkward" stage and looks a lil goofy.. but he's still my handsome lil man!!!
