role reversal

So in less than a month, the tables will be turned and I will be the patient. I am having foot surgery to correct my bunion...again. Same foot. Yep, the first surgery, which was 2 days after my college graduation, only shaved the bone bump off. And the bone continued to curve, resulting in a nifty half-moon shape that is throwing the sesamoid bones (in the bottom of the foot) "off track". The bone needs to be broken and the tendons realigned. The surgery is Friday, 3/26, and I'm hoping to be back to school by Wednesday 3/31. The thing I dread is not being able to run for 8-10 weeks. Looks like I will be getting in some pool and biking time for the tri, huh?

This is the last week before spring break...I just have to get through this week, and then I can relax....sort of. I'll be studying over break, but at least I won't have classes and new material. School is going okay. Much to my surprise, A&P is actually not interesting me so much right now, but Microbiology is. I think it's because now we're studying immunology, and I find that so fascinating. Plus, I think immunology is related to oncology in many ways, and that's familiar to me.

Anyway...not much else is new. I've been studying and making notecards for my classes and studying some more, and writing for the ACS blog and articles for livestrong.com, so my life hasn't really felt like my own. Not to mention I need about 12 more hours in a day.
