Cardio begins

Jessie, I love the pics (but only two?!). I didn't even realize you went to China, I'm very out of the loop! Good luck starting up with work again!!

Kim, how did the funeral and seeing all the fam go? I'm sure it was a very tough wknd! I am thinking of you constantly.

Em, how did last week go for you!?

The rest of you girls? How goes your lives? Chris, where have you been?

As for me, things are going ok. We ended Endocrine on Monday and started up with Cardio. My entire outlook on patients and people has been all endocrine based (I see Type II diabetes in just about everyone), I'm really nervous about cardio and thinking the worst. I'm already pretty sure I'm tachycardic with a potential atrial fibrillation...ahhh!

We actually had our first three day wknd w/o a test after it. I don't think I've had one of those in about a year! Brent and some of our friends went up north to Morro Bay and hung out by the beach. My family ended up visiting and we went to Disneyland (surprise, surprise). It was great seeing the family, my sister turned 28 today and my niece just turned 3 (brother's daughter). I am soo scared though that my little niece really will end up having child-onset T2DM. Honestly, I think all I saw her eat all wknd was ice cream and McDonald's happy meals. I just don't know how to tell my brother and sister-in-law though, none of us feel as though it is our place to say anything. But, if we don't say anything and then she really does become a diabetic, how horrible will that feel?! Any suggestions on that tough cookie?

Other than the stress of that, things are going ok. Still enjoying living with Brent. We are going to celebrate our 1yr anniversary at some point within the next month. We finally decided on Oct 3rd as the day we "officially" started going out, but I'm pretty sure it was sooner than that, so who knows (wow, I sound like I'm 12 again!).

I'm sorry this is yet again so boring. It really is great to be in the loop though of all of your lives, so I hope you will continue writing. This thing takes away a lot of the boredom of studying, honestly.

Love you all, can't wait to hear from you!
