Katrina,

You definitely have my thoughts asnd prayers in all you do there gal. As we vnture out of our comfort zones and do more, there is a higher risk of injuries. The flip side is being a wall flower - which you are NOT. Thankfully your boyfriend was behind you. I'm sure that another angel would come to your rescue as well. To those who loook down at you - stare them in the eye, hold your chin high and smile that beautiful smile of yours.

A few months back I had my first colonoscopy. The prep was the worst part. Good luck.

katrina, i too have you in my thoughts and prayers, i often think about you and how you are doing. donna is right and sometimes the connections in our brains don't always connect properly after a stroke. but it will someday, so NEVER GIVE UP HOPE. i find that when i am tired my affected leg does not take a step and follow through correctly either and i have caught myself many times from falling. so its just not you sweetheart. you are doing so much right now, maybe you were just extra tired. i'm glad your boyfriend was there to catch you. i hope your test goes well, those aren't the most appealing test but obviously it is needed. the prep is the worst of it. please keep those grades up too katrina, you have come so far. i understand the teacher part too, they can make or break you in a class. i wish you the best in all you do. stay safe and let us know how the test goes.

Katrina,

Sorry to hear you fell. Sounds like a good guy behind you to pick you up if you fall- where he belongs.

Living on campus makes a world of difference socially and probably will be a big help with doing books too.

Can't help with the colonoscopy thing ~ haven't been that fun route yet. As the other ladies have said...the prep is probably worse than the test. On the upside a good flush has to be worth at least 2 or 3 pounds.

Good luck with the test, hope your knee feels better, and we still haven't seen pics of the cutie.

Love,

Maria :hug:

hey Katrina:

you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you feel better with all your problems including knee,balance & grades. As far as grades are concerned do your best and don't sweat over small things. you know in larger scheme of life 4.0 or 3.5 does not matter.

I am sure for colonoscopy prep will b the worst part of the actual test.

katria,

so glad to hear your fall was not serious. it is good if you can give yourself a break about grades. just do your best...which you are already doing....and you will keep a good gpa and your scholarship. school is about so much more than a grade...i hope you can come to enjoy the process of learning.

ah, the colonoscopy...been there and done that one. the test is a breeze but the prep is the pits. take care and be kind and patient with yourself.. kathy
