You know it's a bad sign when......

Your former teacher expresses her condolences that you have Ms. SO&SO for pharmacology.

Also, in knitting related news, I am proud to reveal my Secret Pal benefactor. It is........ Purls Gone Wild . Christina, Art Education Major, almost 19. Ah, to be so young, again.......

Christina, you have been an awesome, generous, and kind.

I have decided that I want this to be my job. Baby Panda Monitor seems like an awesome career.

Last night in class I asked my teacher if she had any books to suggest to make the pharmacology information a bit easier to digest. She suggested this book . She had it in class, and it is great. Lots of fun little cartoons and word associations, all peppered with a bit of vulgarity to make it really stick. My kind of book.

I am totally inspired by the latest Knitty . There are so many cute sweaters and shawls. I suppose I will be printing out a bunch of patterns to add to my collection. Le sigh....

Last night in class we were discussing the different types of intracranial surgery, and the nursing process for each. The most disturbing was the transphenoidal for accessing the pituitary gland.

I have a pituitary tumor. That surgery scares the bejesus out of me. I have to have an MRI tomorrow of it, and then see an endocrinologist in the next two weeks. This will open a whole battery of tests. And then hopefully, I can treat the tumor with meds. Please let it be meds.

More on that tomorrow.....

W. :)
