4 Inch Needles

To begin, Britty, I'm SO EXCITED for you!! Congratulations on the big girl job!!

Have you decided if you're going to live there or commute? I know you mentioned moving there but I wasn't sure. We'll all have to congregate in Wilmington at LaLa's from now on, I guess ;) Hurry up and post about it and then call me with more details!

I just got back from my MRI arthrogram, but won't know anything until I go to the doctor tomorrow morning. Please pray that the solution to my shoulder isn't anything too drastic. It sounds like a pepper grinder when I twist it, so I'm assuming that wasn't a good thing. Kate, you didn't warn me about the damn needles! I got there and had to wear 2 gowns, one that opened in the back and one in the front. The nurse rigged it so only my shoulder and collarbone were out and then laid me on this crazy x-ray table. The doctor came in and proceeded to stick a 4 inch needle into the joint (which he had to keep adjusting (the worst part)) and then inserted 3 tubes of fluid. After that, they walked me (bare backed, although I was wearing jeans) through 4 halls and to the MRI, where I spent 45 minutes listening to 96ROCK and crazy noises. It was definitely an ordeal and I'm glad it's over... at least I'll be asleep if I need surgery.

The move went well this weekend. I adore my new apartment! It's a lot smaller and doesn't have quite as much personality as the old place, but I can't even begin to describe the freshair of having the windows open or the massive amounts of sunlight that filter in. It's gorgeous!! :) I took a couple of pictures of the old place, which I'll show you as soon as I can.

Well, I'm going to go take some tylenol and watch the storm roll in. I'll talk to you guys very soon, I miss you so much! LaLa, how goes the job hunt??

LOVE YOU ALL!!
