Bad: I went to a pulmonary specialist on Thursday, a reference from a wonderful doctor in Des Moines who actually LISTENS to their patients. After struggling to breath for over a year and numerous doctor visits and ER visits here in Dodge, I finally was able to go to my favorite doctor in Des Moines. After listening to my history and briefly to my lungs she said that I could have asthma and immediately scheduled me to see a specialist. After a whole lot of breathing tests, it was determined that I do, in fact, have asthma. Apparently, during the breathing tests my ability to breath dropped 40%. Not good, but I'm feeling better already! My next step in this is to stop smoking, which I intend to do after the move. I tried to get Chantix from the doctor but my insurance company denied it. Interesting, huh? I'll just have to try something else, but the patch is out because I already tried that and it left huge welts on my arm. Felt like it was burning a whole through my flesh! Really don't want to do that again.
Good: My transfer to Grand View is done! I register for classes on the 29th of this month. I am so excited! I loved everything about it! My classes will be in the brand new building that is beautiful and the library is right across the street and it has a coffee shop in it!! How PERFECT is that?? Now if I could just afford the coffee... Other good Grand View news: I got the Transfer Presidential Scholarship! Because my GPA is high, I was able to get a $5,500 scholarship!! I am so flippin' happy right now!! And, my application for my apartment went through (of course) so now I just have to wait for the housing agency people to get off their behinds and transfer my HUD information so I can find out how much my rent will be. That won't happen until at least May 1st though, so now I just have to hurry up and wait for that.
