Week 3 Famous Last Words

ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER BLOG POST 

Hey everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful week! My week had its ups and downs, but i'm thinking positive and trying to keep making gains both in school and my personal life. So, what did I do this week? Well... 

• Monday I had class for the second time so far this semester, and as usual I enjoyed it. It's great having the same cool profs multiple semesters in a row. Plus, I only have 2 classes that I actually go to.
• Tuesday was pretty crappy. I was sick all day and ended up not going to my practicum site or doing anything fun because all I wanted to do was sleep and groan in frustration.
• Wednesday I had a doctor's appointment with my primary care physician, Dr. Rice, at Goddard Health Center. I went in because my hip is bothering me so much that I can't sleep and I'm constantly messing with it. We did X-rays and talked before my doctor told me I would have to do physical therapy. I've done it before, a year and a half ago when my back AND hip were seriously messed up, and it made my situation so much worse. I feel like that's what is going to happen again, and I'm going to have to either do 3 months of physical therapy or do it until I get desperately worse. Then, maybe, I will get referred to someone who can help me. Also, until then, I have nothing to give me any relief. I'm a little annoyed, but trying to stay positive. 

Inability to sleep sucks

• Thursday (Today) I was at Calm Waters from 9:30 to 5:00. It was relatively I eventful but I did get to do two client intakes for new members of our divorce groups.
• Tomorrow I meet with my field instructor/mentor, Rita, to do my weekly supervisory conference, talk about meeting a new patient last week, and possibly get introduced to my patient for the semester. I'm so excited! Last semester I was introduced to a patient and was excited to work with her and her family, but a week later she died and I was out of town so I didn't get to be there when it happened. 
• This weekend is still a little uncertain. I know my best friend from high school, Ashley, is coming up to Oklahoma for her birthday but I don't know if I'm going to be able to spend any time with her. She might spend it with her boyfriend's family. Other than that, I might go to someone else's birthday party or I might just lounge around the apartment and try to get some much-needed sleep.
