@ Home - Listening to what is next

This past week has been a long one for my family. Monday I had a repeat EKG and met the surgeon who was going to be performing the surgery. Tuesday my dad met with a whole group of people involved and things didn't go well. Wednesday everything was put on hold because of the meetings that my dad had. Finally Thursday, everything was officially put on hold and everything was canceled until my dad satisfied Banner's wishes. Friday my dad sent a nasty letter to the people at Banner that burned every bridge for possibly having surgery in the future. I am so at a loss for words, I have no idea what to do. Barb Marshall told me on Sunday that all these complications were supposed to happen, and the surgery isn't supposed to happen right now, if at all. I was so frustrated with this sound of that, but it is something that I needed to hear. So it is official, the surgery is off and may not even happen.

@ Home - Thinking about a career

Tonight after I went running with my brother, I laid out in the back yard to cool off. I starred up at the sky and thought about my future, then I remembered my coursework and what I liked. I took some Geographic Information Systems classes and liked them so much that I got A's in the classes. I then thought I might need to find a niche market to go toward in the computer field. I am now going to start looking for jobs within this field to see if that Is where I can get my foot in the door. ESRI is the leading GIS software company and I have experience using their products, which I enjoyed using. I will see if I am a fit to the company :)

@ Home - Life insurance & Surgery Date

I finally got life insurance. Everything worked out better than expected and I got the Super Preferred rate so my monthly payment is well below what I was expecting. Praise God

My dad and I also scheduled the surgery date for December 1st. Everything came together really quickly that day with planning the final tests and meeting dates. We'll see what happens from here.
