Patience

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.

That didn’t take long

I’ve managed to stick to my one soda a week pretty well so far.  What’s odd is that I took tonight’s dinner as the opportunity for this week’s indulgence.  And I was surprised to find that it tasted overly sweet, to the point that I really didn’t enjoy it all that much.  Now I’m curious […]

Finally and next steps

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 waiting….

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.

Just so that i don’t have to deal with some shit, I chose to add a disclaimer page.

Still waiting

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.

More blood and urine into the void

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 […]

I feel like I’m slacking.

I’m working on my second 24 hour urine test and I’ve barely got a liter of pee in my jug.  It holds 3.5.  Maybe I should consider that a challenge and spend the rest of the evening with one of my 100 oz. Camelbaks on until I suck it dry.

Nothing to see here, move along.

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.  🙂
