I'm sorry, did my back hurt your knife?

Backstabbers and liars, the world is full of them. I hope one day I will have learned not to be so trusting of people and to watch what I say. Apparently people will take what you say, twist it around and then repeat it to other people behind your back. Why would someone do that? I guess I don't understand, because I'm a NICE person.

On a different note, I hope this one particular person I have been trusting lately doesn't prove to be a liar and backstabber too. I've told him many things in confidence and I would be heartbroken if he too turned on me. But I think I can trust this person. He has told me many things in confidence as well, so hopefully I am right about him.

I want another tattoo...shocking huh?

Well my school has an issue with having too many tattoos showing, so instead of working on my forearm area I want to add to my upper right arm. I have a sparrow there now, but I can't decide what to put under that. I want to somehow include the sparrow and make it look like one whole piece, instead of two seperate tattoos. Anyone got any ideas? :-)

Say goodbye to the MRI...

Went to my oncologist in Seattle yesterday. It was my first time seeing him, so this appointment was mainly a get to know you kind of a thing. Anyways, he reviewed my history and talked to me for a while and then he told some awesome news. One, I no longer have to have MRIs and PET Scans done (yay! I hated those so much). Instead I get to just have CT scans every three months (that's what the picture is, a CT machine). Two, he thinks the chance of my cancer coming back is extremely low. WOO HOO! He said I am an otherwise healthy and active 25 year old and he sees no reason for the cancer to make a comeback. THANK GOD! So very good news there. I'm very happy. :-)

Coumadin sucks!

I've been taking the blood thinning medication Coumadin since mid December when I was diagnosed with a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) in my neck. I know this medication is important and it will get rid of the clot, but damn the side effects suck! I'm tired all the time, achy a lot, slightly depressed, irritable and I cannot lose weight at all (not even an ounce). Plus I can't drink alcohol, can't eat veggies or salads. I have to be on this for another 3-4 months. Blah. Plus I get to get stabbed every two weeks so they can check the levels on my blood. Oh and in case you didn't know ( I know I didn't know this until the doctor told me) Coumadin is rat poison. No seriously, it's rat poison and I have to voluntarily swallow 7.5mg of it every day. Good times!

I'm so excited!

I went to look at a cosmetology school on wednesday and I fell in love! I think it's a perfect fit for me and I really think I will be happy doing that for a living. Thirteen months and $15,000 later, I will be a licensed cosmetologist. Yay!
