until surgery.
I was wiped out last night so I had no problems falling asleep. A rare occurrence these days.
I was awoken a bit early though by a call from my primary care doctor's office. It seems my thyroid levels are a bit high again and I've been instructed to take double my dose 4 days a week. I confirmed that they have faxed all the required papers to Union Memorial and I don't know yet if these results will have any bearing upon surgery. I plan to follow up with Dr. Brumback's office today to make sure that they have all the papers, that Worker's Comp gave the thumbs up and to ask a few additional questions that have come up. I really hope that this doesn't require postponing. As much as I am dreading it, I want to get it over with. I'm ready to move out of this limbo phase and start healing again. Several areas of my life have been on hold for months and I've got shit I want to do!
About Me
- Chris
- Austin, Texas, United States
- I am a seminary student at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. At first it was somewhat strange being back in school for the first time in 18 years, but I love what I am studying and have quite a different approach and attitude than I did as an undergraduate. Before starting graduate school I was the Youth Director at the First Presbyterian Church of Annapolis. I coordinated youth fellowship, Sunday school, summer mission trips, confirmation class and anything else that involved the 6th through 12th grade students. I was also the Facilities Manager as well but an accident changed that. In March of 2008 I fell at work and shattered my right knee. I had multiple surgeries and now my right leg isn't quite what it used to be. My knee only bends about 40-45 degrees and I can not stand or walk for extended lengths of time. It has a taken a bit of adjusting getting used to being partially disabled, but in the grand scheme of things it could have been much worse. I am now truly a member of "The Ministry of Silly Walks."
