In Need of Some Stiches

This wound is the biggest I have. It’s deeper than any abrasion I could imagine. It’s gross and I don’t want anyone else to see it. I ignored the pain and pushed through for a long time. I even tried fixing it myself with a band-aid. However, something that vast cannot be fixed with only a band-aid. That only masked the wound and in the end has made it worse. I’ve done a very good job at hiding and ignoring it. Still, that has just let it fester and become more repulsive than it was before. It’s infected. For the sake of myself, I have to let someone look at it. The dirt and bacteria need to be cleansed and it needs to be stitched up. It is going to be painful and difficult to go through. It’s going to hurt, and people are going to see how deep and awful it is, but it is the only way for it to heal.

Starting the Wild Ride

Well, in case you have missed the memo, I've been accepted to be a NURSING STUDENT!!! Ahhhh! All the stress and worrying I have had about getting into a program is finally gone. I knew I was called to be a nurse, but it's so nice to show anyone who ever doubted or questioned that this really is what I have been called to do in life. Getting to this point has not been easy in the least, and the road ahead is not going to be any easier. I know it is going to be hard and exhausting, but I am so ready for it. I am so excited (and maybe slightly terrified) about what these next few years of nursing school will bring. It's gonna be an exciting, difficult, and rewarding journey. Get ready, it's gonna be a crazy ride.
