University of WA - Bothell

So, its time. I have finished my application and I am waiting to find out if I will be accepted into the University of Washington - Bothell. I am taking my last pre-req at Bellevue Community College and I am trying my hardest to keep my momentum. I cant say for sure if the new medical stuff will work or if I just dont care if it doesnt! I am fighting my butt off to go forward with life so that I can do something to care for me and my life rather than function at the barely functional level of half dead I feel like I have been.

Mike's brother and Sister in Law, Ryan and Laurel (with Baby Jace), will be in WA permanently in a few weeks and I am supposed to be planning my wedding. Its not my time to lay down and die, I am going to keep up my fight. Come hell or high water I am going to finish school.

My reason for finishing school is Mikey. I want nothing more than to finish school, get a better, higher paying job so that Mike can get on with school, take care of himself, run and not worry so much about balancing all of his pressing priorities. I want set an example for Jace, my brother, my [future] children, whoever else wonders how you can fight through chronic illness to make something better out of your life.

I am really tired today but I am tired of being tired, I am ready for something else other than dog tired...

You're doing a lot better! It's still early in the new treatments, give it some time and keep plugging away. A very wise person once told me that "you need to go on a seek and destroy mission and kill off the bad, replace it with the good. While you are seeking and fixing to destroy, you need to take comfort in the fact that you are fighting it." Keep up the fight, and remain positive! Remember, there are lots of people who are rooting for you.
