Hey guys! First of all, I'm sorry it's been like a week since I posted, I've been pretty busy. Anyways, tomorrow is February 24th, and that means I'm heading back to the hospital. I'm pretty nervous, because I ran into my GP at an audition the other day (it's a small world, huh?) and even she could see a change since when she referred me to a specialist (I was wearing a tighter shirt for the audition's dress requirements.) So she was happy to hear that my appointment had moved up, I guess. I'm going to try to either do a vlog and put it above the next chapter or live-update or something tomorrow , because it's kind of a busy day. Since I would only be able to go to my first and second hour classes (Phy. Ed. and Spanish) if I went to school, we decided I may as well just skip altogether. So that's an upside! Either way, just so you know what I'm talking about during the vlog/live update (comment which one I should do!), I'm giving you a little background. My day kind of looks like this:
10:30-11:00~ Grab lunch early, as I'll be in the hospital forever
11:00-11:30~ Get checked into the hospital and figure out where exactly we're going
11:30-12:00~ Wait for a million years to get X-Rays taken. And get X-Rays taken
12:00-12:30~ Wait for radiology people to figure out the X-Rays and send them to a whole bunch of specialists (including my orthopedic doctor)
12:30-God-knows-when-but-hopefully-not-too-long-after-12:30: Finally actually have an appointment with the orthopedic doctor to go over X-Rays and figure out where I'm at.
After that, it all gets a little fuzzy, because it depends on where I am and if I'm referred to anyone else and how long this all takes and whether I need more X-Rays and a whole bunch more stuff. You may have noticed that most of my morning consists of waiting rooms. Hey, I have too! At least I'll have time to update/vlog!
Regardless, I'm a little bit worried. I know it's no big deal, but I honestly have no idea where I stand right now. I'm just anxious to finally get some real answers! I'll keep you guys updated, and feel free to PM me with questions, comments, or stories! Thank you guys so much for the support!

Non-FictionThis is a true story. I wish I could say it were some beautiful romance, or a story of triumph. But it's not. It's mine. It's a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, a dizzying spin of doctors, loves, and hurt. I can't guarantee you a happy ending...
