The only drama I'm currently facing is of the generic variety. My financial aid package is in limbo.
I have seven classes left to take at LSU. Five of them are to complete my degree in Construction Management. Two of the classes round out a minor in Business. I'm currently working on two of theses courses via the distance learning program.
What I'm hoping to remember as my last fall semester begins in less than 2 weeks and my status is in a bit of limbo since my financial aid package is under review. Last year, I wasn't able to complete enough hours to satisfy aid requirements. I was only able to complete six hours each semester thanks to GvHD of the liver and lungs. If I'm going to be honest about it, I shouldn't have been able to finish that many. Sheer stubbornness on my part and the understanding of some amazing professors got me through.
And so now I wait. I put my appeal package in the mail yesterday. I will resist the urge to call the poor beleagured employees of the department of financial aid every twenty minutes. I will continue to work on my independent study lessons. I will systematically chew off every one of my finger nails. I will stress out over this very mundane thing that I know will be resolved and all the while, I will not be thinking about cancer. I suppose it's the small victories that matter most.

Fingers crossed! Wish I could take the doubt away for you... you have worked so hard to get this degree. I hope we will be celebrating its completion soon. Your tenacity is unmatched.
Only 7 more classes! Thinking positive that all will work out. It will, I just know. Hugs!
Everything will be ok! You mentioned that you are on thyroid meds...are you on T4 only? I have been able to deal with stress SO MUCH better since I added T3 to my regimen. I take it twice a day. Google Mary Shomon...she is a patient advocate on thyroid issues and posts a lot of great info.
K, I'm only on T4. Thanks for the tip on Mary Shomon.
