Got a call from Dr J’s (cardiologist) office earlier today. Apparently, my insurance rejected the medication that is actually working. Ugh! Luckily, though, they have samples available for me. They also said that they are going to try to work something out with the rep (I’m guessing the one that leaves them samples) for some sort of patient assistance thing. At least they recognize that it’s very important for me to be on this medication. Hopefully, the medication will let me do cardiac therapy on my own and heal enough that I don’t need it for too long.

Medication is Actually Working?!?!
You know you have POTS when you get overly excited by your standing heart rate being 80bpm… And the medical assistant does too! Blood pressure was also down to 112/72 for once! Yay!
I am currently taking Corlanor and Bystolic for my heart. I am not a doctor, please consult your’s before changing any medication… especially before changing heart medication.
Off to School
I’m going to be heading off to school in a little bit, so I won’t be able to get my w101 post up until tonight. However, I’m going to take my blogging notebook to school; hopefully I can get it all written there.
Why Do I Write? A Crazily Long Answer
Why Do You Write?
Wow, that is quite the question, isn’t it?
Well, I tried to answer it on The Story of the Silver Sun and What’s in a Name? pages. However, I also tried to keep those descriptions succinct so that people would actually read them. Let me see if I can elaborate. (I may repeat myself a little, as you may notice if you read those pages, so please be patient. I’m just going to tell the whole story.)
Working on Writing 101
So I’m enrolled in the Blogging U Writing 101 and Blogging 201 courses. I really want to stick with the Writing 101 course, if nothing else, so expect some prompted posts from that. Even if I can’t make a post fit perfectly with my normal blog material, I will probably still try to complete it and post it. I love writing, and all writing is great practice. So here I go, off on an adventure!
(First prompt was sent out last night. I’m starting to work on it now, so hopefully I’ll have it up in a few hours.)
Sticky, Gooey Testing
I had my abdominal ultrasound today. If you’ve ever had an ultrasound, you suddenly understand my title 😛 For those of you that haven’t had one, I’ll explain the title in a moment.
First Midterm Grade Back!
YAY! I got my World Regional Geography midterm back on Tuesday. I got 73/80 points, which is a 91.25% 😀 I only missed 1 (of 60) of the multiple choice, but the essay questions didn’t turn out as well. For our overall class grade, the midterm is worth 200 points. 91.25% of 200 is 182.5 points! So far, so good!
I wonder when I’ll get my Forensic Anthropology midterm back…? It was much easier than I expected, so hopefully I’ll get it back soon with a good grade at the top!
Midterms
I had my World Regional Geography midterm on Thursday last week. It was pretty easy for me, but I’ve also been finding classwork extremely interesting and always sharing it with Dan, so it gets stuck in my head. I’m hoping I did well on it. I feel as though I got an A, because I really don’t think I missed enough to get a B. Some of his answer choices were hilarious. Hopefully, I’ll get the exam back so I can share 😛
Today is my Forensic Anthropology midterm. I’m kind of nervous. She gave us a study guide, but it’s pretty much “study everything.” Thanks. She gave it to us Thursday. I’ve been struggling with my health a bit, so I have been having a very hard time studying. However, the osteology test we had was far easier than anyone expected, so hopefully the midterm will be too. I’m studying right now (well, I was, and I will be again). The test will start at 3p today. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
The Ear Saga Continues -&- Crazy Allergies -&- Functional Medication
So, as I mentioned earlier: I have another ear infection. Yes, another one. Yes, the same ear that was just operated on. Yes, the same ear that has pretty much been non-stop infected since mid-March. Yes, I’m about to rip it off and throw it out the door and make it fend for itself.
