major changes, minor switches, wastelands, and the unfamiliar...

So lately I’ve been seriously questioning my own patience with others, especially in regards to my current plan to go into counseling. I’ve bumped into a few people who’ve indirectly pointed me in a completely different direction. Yeah I know, every year I go back to school with a different major and that all while adding time onto my already ridiculously long amount of schooling also provides me with a very well-rounded education, but I’m very, extremely strongly considering switching my major to Professional Writing and since I’ve taken a number of psych classes I can actually get a minor in Psychology without taking anymore psych classes at all! So my previous attempt will actually benefit me this time.

I’m going off all my pain meds. I decided that I wasn’t trusting God with the pain and since I was so scared of it I was refusing to give up any meds. And guess what? The pain hasn’t been as bad as I expected, and I’ve only had a few headaches but none that were actually debilitating. This is one of the biggest praises for me. Now the neurosurgeon put me on this med with for some reason numbed only my left ear and I attempted a cartilage piercing but that didn’t go that well since I was trying to stick a needle through my own ear by myself. First off, that’s the wrong angle, and second, read up on that stuff before you commit…don’t just commit because your ear went numb…trust me you will feel it sooner or later!!! But this med has also made my hands tingling, my balance even worse, and I’ve just felt awful these past couple of days.

Oh, another big thing it that I’ve slept during the actual night like 4-5 times this past week, not sure what caused change but the neurosurgeon had me on some anti-inflammatory meds and I think they’ve helped more than I thought they did at first. I mean now I’m awake from like 8-11am on so if you get bored and want to come watch movies with me of something, call first but I’ll probably be all for it. One annoying thing is that if I tip my head forward at all my nose just starts running and won’t stop until I blow my nose and then the process repeats. Also I’ve been getting the hiccups recently and they hurt and with my nausea could cause bad things to happen.

I got to go to bed really soon so I’m gonna go, this is the latest I’ve stayed up in quite a while.

Oh I forgot, I was going to list praises and prayer requests:

Praises:

• I can sleep at night more often.
• The pain isn’t as bad as I expected and I’ve only had a couple of headaches
• And I feel pretty settled about my change of major to Professional Writing

Prayer Requests:

• The weird med that the neurosurgeon has me on will stop bothering me so much
• For my change of major
• For my nausea to go far away and stay there
• For my ear to heal up well
