yes, I'm still out here

Gary's in MTSU now & taking 4 summer classes. Before he starts the fall semester. He had an appt. with the VA offices in Nashville, and they will be paying for all his classes when he starts the in the fall. And hopefully in 2 years he will be a graduate of MTSU, with a degree in Audio Engineering. This is in a field he's always wanted to be in. And it was just like watching a kid in a candy store-watching his eyes light up during the tour of the facilities at the campus. So far he's made an "A" in all of his classes and has a perfect 4.0 for a grade point average. (and including all his classes from Lipscomb and UTM-he has a high "B" for a cumulative point average. ) We are looking into moving sometime in the future. Because the further along he gets into MTSU, he'll be spending more & more time on the campus and gas going back and forth would drain the bank account. I have a transfer request in at the Wal-mart store in Murfreesboro; but don't know when that will happen. Maybe whenever gary gets done with his school-maybe I can find something to get into with as much passion as he has for this field.
I got two Dr.'s appt on Wednesday. One at the eye Dr. & one at my primary care Dr. I got to make my usual list of questions I need to ask both of them. Then the next week I got an appt. with Dr. Efobi to get more blood work done. I got a call saying I had a low platelet count, so I was researching that on the internet. Symptoms of low platelet count include, bruising easily, auto-immune diseases (MS) "score two for me" . Wonder what I'll find out after this appt. Found out what my blood type is after all these years; "O+" . Gary is "O-" I thought it was kinda neat in a way cause i think my Mom & Dad and sister are all "O" type blood. But I can't give at the red cross cause Dr. Bishop said I was anemic. Write more later.
