Hi, it's been a while...
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:42 pm
Hello! It's been a while since I'm posted on this site. I really don't have an excuse so I won't even try to justify my absence.
A lot of things have happened to me since then. Some good things and some bad things... I'll start with the bad thing first. The drunk driver who hit me had his traffic case on August 4th. The judge sentenced him to two days in jail. Only two days!!! The reason for this was because it was a plea agreement. He would plead guilty to reckless driving instead of being tried for DWI. The man owned a landscaping company and if he was found guilty on DWI charges, he would lose his company and his employers would be without a job. I agreed to the plea offer but when I saw his wife cry tears of joy, I got so upset. I know he deserve a lot more than what he's getting and that's what frustrates me. I'm starting to cry so I'll jump on to another topic.
Let's jump to the good things, shall we? I'm in college now, woohoo! Though I'm not at Virginia Tech anymore, I decided to go to a more academic university and so far, so good! Most of the time, I feel like a normal person. But there are a few times it's incredibly hard to cope. Overall, a good experience so far...though I'm not getting along with the roomie. She's a morning person whereas I'm a night person. But anyways...
Another good thing is that I'm headed back to Mayo on September 7th. It's been 6 months. Hopefully this time my tendon will be strong enough for the transfer. I hope and pray that it is so I can finally have peace of mind. I've been scheduled for two mri and an emg...fun!
OK, I have to head back to the books. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Looking into the future with a more positive look,
Kim.
