Say What I Think

On Friday I twisted my ankle. I ended up going to one of Fairview’s Urgent cares here in Minnesota. I had waited till Monday before going in, normally I will wait 3 to 5 days after being hurt. Why because seeing doctors are expensive and the only time I don’t mess about is when it my asthma. If I get sick and have something effecting the asthma I know better then waiting around. Other wise I am in good health. Just asthma and allergies, and sometimes a higher white cell count. I have always been like that since I can remember, they believe it due to the allergies and asthma so no worries. I hardly get sick unless I get a upper resp infection. Usually when I fall I don’t break anything.
On Monday I went into urgent care, got the same doctor from my fall at work. I fall at work a few weeks ago, so this was seriously the last thing I needed. I was able to walk out that time with no need for equipment this time I walked out with crutches and a Air Cast. I had fractured the bone, and he had told me I needed to see a Foot specialist. This worried me a little because if it’s a simple fracture why do I need to see a foot specialist.
They referred me to the guy next door. So I went the next day. I saw my xray and boy was that fracture very tiny and I was surprised at the amount of pain it caused until the Foot doctor told me what else was going on with me. I managed to bursted my ligaments and tendon, okay that answers all the swallowing and pain when I put any wait on it. I was worried that I would suddenly need to pay for a surgery with out insurance. Thank Goodness he said right away there’s no need for surgery. I was able to loss my crutches and was put in a walking boat. It feels so much better then the aircast and jumping on one leg which is probably still healing since the hib and knee started hurting badly.
I will have to say I am proud of them for not trying to take advantage of someone who had no help to cover everything under the sun. They referred me to a out reach program but the problem with that is for a 2 person family seriously I don’t know any couples making that much money. My husband and I make a little more money, and honestly we bearly make ends meet each other, we do but heaven forbid get into trouble. We have a saving account for emergency and I already used part of that for some things.. I will have to start putting money away agian. We have been using it for visiting his parents, and paying of my college and now this. I feel bad that everything is happening to my husband and I.
I wonder if DNA testing could maybe help determine if a person is going to be susceptible, I just wondering if our DNA can tell us more then who we are related to, but are we also susceptible for other stuff.

My cellphone is well over 80 above my 600 minutes of talk time. Ouch, the fav Five from T-mobile is starting to look nice. Seriously I am thinking about increasing my minutes to 1000 a month, I am sure I might need it with college, and learning team or doing the fav 5 problem with that is well you know how do I pick who to love or who to use my minutes. I wonder if I can change that each month to the people I am in class with and my academic or enrollment counselor. Might do good to call my cellphone provider and get their idea of what would help me.
I will say I am very impressed with my enrollment counselor wanting to make sure I have no problems. I am not sure if this should drive me nuts, or if I should be grateful. I am going back to the University of Phoenix in their FlexNet program. I will say I was glad she was their for the applying process that was harder on line, last time I applied I believe it was with someone else and some of it was by paper. I can’t remember that was a while ago. This time it was all online, and I had to do a name change. Speaking of that I have to figure out how to get my printer to scan documents for my academic counselor she asked me if I could send something to her, but LOL I can’t get my printer to cooperate with me yet. To bad the printer isn’t as helpful as my enrollment counselor.
This morning she called me to help me go through the financial aid process. Okay, I will admit this I didn’t need her their because when I had questions it was pretty much up to me anyways. She couldn’t tell me what to do, but was able to explain it to me. I am all done with all the paperwork I have to fill out. I will have my enrollment counselor for my first 2 classes back.
Lets see I found out their flexnet classes are no longer downloaded through explore which I prefer but that’s okay I can handle dealing with web based. Not a big deal, I just hope that if I am on another computer I can tell what I have already read or done. That could get frustrating part of what I liked about explorer is that when I did something it showed up done. Grant it I was only able to use it with one computer, and had to remember what I had already done, kind of like
moving companies they have to know what they already done sometimes or they could be looking along time for what they want.
The nice thing is the 2 books I need for my first class and all the other classes I have papers in I already have them. So I get to save some money and I won’t have to worry about finding money right now. I just spent a bunch on my ankle. That’s another post.
Yesterday I spoke with my academic adviser and found out what my next 2 classes were. I am taking accounting first, this aught to be interesting, I have noticed one of the books I read before. I think I will not have any trouble getting the material down, didn’t last time.
One thing I do not care for much at the UOP is their rule of almost every class must have a learning team. Don’t get me wrong learning teams can be great, and it will make you learn how to learn with other people and gives experience in how to deal with different personalities. In every learning team it seems theres always one or two who are truly lazy, one who is a leader, and one who will just do anything they can to help the team. I have been both the leader and the I will do anything I can to help. In my last few learning teams I had some issues with the team. My last one, I will just put it this way if it wasn’t for the other girl on the team, I probably would have convinced the professor to let me be my own learning team because hey I was pretty much doing it all anyways. It helped having the other person to take up the other half of the slack, we had. I don’t like learning teams just for that one reason, is sometimes people figure out who are the more intelligent ones, or the harder working one and will not do what they aught to do. I am keeping my fingers crossed I do not have classes with any of those team mates now, more unlikely they are going to finally graduated, or dropped out or well the next option is ugly.
So far everyone I have met and worked with at the UOP have been a great help and very encouraging. I have yet to meet a professor or adviser with an unkind word. Now I am not saying I haven’t met a professor I don’t like. I have one on the top of my list of don’t like him but he’s a good professor. I just don’t like him because I had him in a class, he got to know me, and the next class I had with him he told me he expected a lot out of me. I guess I don’t like professor expecting a lot out of me because I already have a goal of getting nothing lower then a C, but honestly I am aiming for a “A”. I also don’t like it because other students assume your intelligent or teacher pet but not so much a problem in college.
