Omaha---so far

Well, I have been in Omaha for a little over a month and so far I LOVE it. I don't necessarily like the humidity but I do love my classmates, classes, my job and everything else about the area. Our first grad class is about to wrap up this week which is just crazy to me. Six weeks has already FLOWN by. This week we start fball two-a-day practices which is going to keep us EXTREMELY busy but thats okay. I knew what I was getting into when I applied to the program. We got our fall assignments. I got UNO fball team so I will be staying on campus and working with them. I was a tad nervous when I first found out, but I am working under our head ATC so I will be learning alot which is exactly what I need. I want to absorb as much info as I possibly can. Fall classes start Aug 23 so thats great! Because I got assigned fball I won't be able to go anywhere for Thanksgiving, but that's okay there are a few other grads that can't either so we are going to do some sort of dinner together. Thankfully I will be home for about 3 weeks around xmas which I can't wait for. I truly miss my family sooo much and it's been very hard for me to be so far away. Especially with my parents, sis & bro because of how close I am to them. It's been hard, but Skype & cell phones are helping as much as possible.

As for my health-well it hasn't exactly gotten much better than my 8 week post op appt. I am having a great deal of pain on my left side (meaning my left ovary) and I am not enjoying the side effects of having cysts burst. I have consulted my doc back home and now I have to go see a new doc here in Omaha to see what he/she thinks the next step will be. I know I am only 5 months post op, but I shouldnt be in this much pain except for the fact that we knew my ovaries would be a problem. So we will see what this new doc says and what happens next. I hate being sick, I wish it would have been fully taken care of but I do understand why they left my ovaries-just sucks that now I might need to have them taken out and I will have to go through yet another surgery and recovery when I don't really have the time.

I have added some pics to here of some of the things we've been up to around Nebraska. So hopefully you enjoy. I will try my best to keep updating this but it is a tad hard with how busy we've been lately! MISS EVERYONE!!
