It's been a while since I posted a blog, but things have been a little mundane, so I thought it would be a pretty boring read unless I waited around a little bit ;)
Kerry started school today! He came home with a smile on his face and a pretty good bit of reading to do, but that's pretty much expected. He's super excited to get started, and I'm glad it's finally here as well. We've waited for this for a long time. 28 months seems like forever and not very long at the same time. Now we can get on with the show!
I've started working, as well. Right now, I've got 2 jobs (yikes)...I'm training at Gulf Coast Medical Center for a PRN (as needed) position, and have been for the last 3 weeks. Next week I will start training for my full time job in Sandestin at Sacred Heart on the Emerald Coast. Unless something changes, I'll be keeping both jobs...but with the way things have been changing around, you never know! GCMC is a great place so far, and I love my co-workers. I hope SHEC treats me just as well.
Otis is still loving the lazy beach life! Every now and then I get on a kick of wanting to adopt another dog to keep him company, but when I look at the vet bills, that pretty much cures me of that ;)
We've committed to attending Woodlawn UMC here in Panama City Beach, and we're so excited about that! We've really enjoyed the 9forty contemporary worship service and our newlywed small group that meets every Sunday. It's good to have the support of these folks during this potentially stressful time.
Nothing new to report on the headache situation as of now. I'm up to taking 4 Topamax a day, and should be contacting my neurologist soon for a consult on where to go from here. My next UAB appointment isn't until December. Then we'll do another MRI and re-evaluate with the neurosurgeon to see if our current care plan is good. The pain management isn't really working out for me too well, but then that's to be expected.
Remember to pray for Kerry as he adjusts to his new schedule, and me as I adjust to mine!
