Yesterday day was my third and final day of therapy for my arm and it feels like a new arm. I really can't believe it; I thought this was going to ruin my vacation but it won't! It didn't hurt while I rolled my suitcase to the car, pulled it out of the baggage claim … Continue reading Let’s make better memories
Yesterday the pain was too much. My parents got me Bengay Pain Relieving Patch from the pharmacy and that helped ease the pain while I wore it, but when I took it off, the pain returned. I couldn't sleep last night, I didn't know if it was my shoulder or if it was too early, … Continue reading Day five- Not my shoulder
First, the thing I sprained or caused whatever it is that's bothering me, is my shoulder. I woke up this morning because it was bothering me, well not bothering, it hurt! It was swollen today too. So I went to the doctor, a family doctor, and after looking at it and asking me all the … Continue reading My shoulder- Day 3
When you have a metal plate (at least I think that's what it is, please correct me if I'm wrong) in your arm, you think you're invincible. That makes you kind of a robot and it wont hurt because part of my arm is not bone, right? I keep learning how wrong I was about … Continue reading My shoulder… or elbow? IDK, my arm
I got the permission slip for my professor to sign, allowing me to record the class. I thought that was it, after she signed it I would be able to record the class; maybe she would say I needed the rest of the student's signatures too, but they're all very nice, I think they would … Continue reading What happened to my rights?
I have a pretty cool epilepsy t-shirt, but I saw this today shared by Wearing Purple for my Love, on Facebook and I thought it was just awesome. I think these epilepsy t-shirts help show that epilepsy is nothing to mess with, but if we're strong, we can beat it. I think the force can help … Continue reading May the force be with us
This morning we went for a walk on the new promenade outside old San Juan (Paseo de Puerta de Tierra) I could do the assignment I found out about on Friday. All I have seen in this area for the last two years in construction, but I hadn't seen it now that it's done. I … Continue reading Paseo de Puerta de Tierra (Puerta de Tierra Promenade)
I have been doing my best to keep up with the class I'm taking, and I think it's going pretty well, except for when the professor starts throwing homework assignments at the end of class. It's one, then quickly comes the other one and another one. By the time she's done I missed one or two, … Continue reading I requested and was promised accommodations, why can’t I get them?
So here I am, looking for a job again. I'm not unemployed yet, but my boss told me last week that my internship will come to an end soon. I'm still not sure when it ends exactly, but I don't want to go back into the world without a job after having one for 8 … Continue reading Job hunting again
I was raised in a family of strong women, working women when women's jobs were to stay home and raise the kids. My grandma is a civil engineer, only a few other women studied engineering with her in the 50's. She always worked and she raised four daughters, all of whom went to college and … Continue reading Let’s show them who’s boss
It's official, one more month seizure free!! And now it's exactly one year and a half seizure free!! That means I only have six months left until my fist two years seizure free are done, the first two out of hopefully many more. This time I'm celebrating with a weekend at the beach, which happens … Continue reading A year and a half! Can you believe it?
So now there's these people dressing up as clowns, as in clowns weren't scary and creepy enough already. They should stay where they belong, the circus, that way if you don't like them or have a life long fear of the scary man with a white face giving children balloons, you don't have to see … Continue reading Clowns are not funny
It has been a long time since the last time I got confused taking my anti-epileptic medicine which has become a routine, but this morning I overslept a little bit. I woke up at nine, which is fine because it really doesn't matter when I tale the medicine, as long as it's sometime between 8 … Continue reading Another anti-epileptic meds confusion
Here is more information about SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) I think everyone with epilepsy or people who know a patient of epilepsy should read. I know there are people who don't take epilepsy seriously and I want to help spread the message to help people stop their seizures. It can be done! #AimForZero
Hello October, I was not able to write yesterday or earlier today because I have still been busy finishing a project, but I think I'm done. So without noticing, September is over, it's already October and it's scary. Not just because of Halloween, but because the very anticipated and scary elections are quickly coming up … Continue reading Hello October
