I am still waiting for the call to schedule my interviews. This wait is making me feel disconnected from the process and is slightly demotivating. As I write this I feel a little selfish for those feelings contrasted against what should be a selfless act. I wish I had the email address (or a direct […]

My lack of patience finally got the better of me and I called this morning to follow up. My coordinator was unavailable, but it turns out that the person who answered the phone is the one who is setting up the appointment(s). She told me she was still working on them. How long can that […]

I’m still waiting to hear from the person responsible for scheduling my interviews. Tomorrow (Friday 2/1) makes a week since I was told of this next step. Patience, patience, patience. In other news, still off soda and down 7 pounds as of this morning.

Just got off the phone with my coordinator. Labs looked good, and she did comment on the fact I had filled the urine jug. Apparently they want a truer representation of the amount, so the NEXT one will need to reflect such. My next step will be a day of meetings with a social worker, […]

Still nothing about my second set of labs or next steps.  I even broke down and called to check in around 2:30 today.  I left a message for my coordinator but I didn’t hear back today.

I had been expecting a call back today regarding my labs, but I haven’t received one yet. If I don’t hear something back by some time tomorrow morning, I’ll probably try to call them in the afternoon. Again, patience is not my strong suit.

I did my second set of labs today. Eight more vials of blood were drawn and I dropped off my urine jug. I did manage to fill my jug to the top, but I didn’t have to resort to my Camelbak to get it done. I’m looking forward to getting the call tomorrow with the […]

Nothing really new to report except that I’m now six days soda free.  Yay me!  I’ll most likely break the streak tomorrow (maybe one a week is what I should shoot for).  I’m going to a party tomorrow night, so there will be beer.  🙂

Stopped at CMC on my way to work this morning to pick up the jug for my next 24 hour urine collection. No big deal except that I was told “just swing by the lab and pick one up.” And when I popped in and asked the lab tech for a jug, he seemed surprised […]

While waiting to do my next set of labs there’s nothing much else to say.  I’ve been re-reading some of the material provided by CMC to get an idea of what may be next but all of that documentation is geared toward directed donations. Other than that, I’m still soda free.  This is going on […]
