Today at church I ran into a kid that I know I have met before, because he CLEARLY knew who I was or else he wouldn't have come up to me and hugged me and started questioning me about my life. He looks super familiar but I cannot figure out where I know him from or what his name is! I had to pretend I knew who he was, but I really had no idea. I think I met him in Hawaii? He mentioned the beach so Im assuming he went to BYU Hawaii but I honestly don't remember how I met him or anything! I feel super bad. He's totally oblivious that I had no idea who he was. Oh well. It was a nice conversation.
Tomorrow is going to be a great day! To start it off, Im going to take my mom to work. Then Im gonna go to the gym, then I have to get an MRI on my shoulder again (which I will explain later), and then I get to see my favorite Aiono girls!! Taylor and Sidney are really good friends from BYU Hawaii that are from Arizona! Their family just moved to California so Im not exactly sure why they are here but I don't care! Because I get to see them tomorrow! We're going to shop at Last Chance! Ill be sure to update on that reunion. Im sure lots of pictures will be taken! I love these girls to death and am about to pee my pants thats how excited I am to see them!
I never imagined that I would see so many of my Hawaii friends outside of Hawaii, but I was definitely wrong! Next week, when I move up to Utah, I get to see Erica, Karla, Jason, Kelsi, Kelts and a couple other people, and then when I road trip to Seattle with Erica I get to see Jaymee and Molly! I cant imagine what my life would be like had I not had the experience of going to Hawaii. I wouldn't know any of these amazing people that I get to see so soon! Ive been so blessed with great friends and opportunities!
Ok, now Im going to explain my shoulder. Sorry for jumping around so much in this blog! :) So the past two years of my life have practically been a lie. Two years ago, on July 18th, 2009, I was in a really bad car accident. From the impact of the collision, I injured my right shoulder. For a while I was seeing a chiropractor. We went through some physical therapy that seemed to help in the moment but not so much over time. I got an MRI and was told that I had Bursitis. Bursitis is a condition where there is inflammation of the bursi (fluid sac thing...don't really know the purpose of it). They told me that it would heal over time but I had to lay back on the volleyball and not be so active with it. 2 years later, and it feels no different. The pain is very random. Sometimes it is a sharp shooting pain, other times its just a very uncomfortable feeling and sometimes its just a little achey. Nothing really triggers the pain. Its just constant. I don't really ever complain about it because it has become such a normal feeling. Ive just got used to it even though it still hurts really bad. So about 2 weeks ago I went to see a different doctor; one that knew more about my problem than a chiropractor would. I brought in my old MRI's and he was able to point out a few different things that looked wrong. He mentioned that I might have a tear, or somethings wrong with my rotator cuff, and something about extra fluid that shouldn't be there (maybe has to do with bursitis? no clue.) Anyway, this entire time I thought I had bursitis, but little did I know that it was more than that. A tear?! I could possibly need surgery! This isn't funny business people. This is the real deal. So tomorrow I have to get another MRI, but its a little different than the first one I got. They have to inject blue ink or something into my shoulder before so that like veins or something show up on the MRI. The only upside of having this injury is that the worse the injury, the more money the insurance company gives me for my "physical and emotional pains". We're talking big bucks here guys. Im stoked to see how much money I get haha. Its sad that thats what Im excited for. My friends brother was in a car accident a while back and got a stiff neck for a couple days. He got $1000. Can you imagine what kind of money Im going to get?! Me either. Its unreal. Also, If I do get surgery....I smell a handicap parking pass coming my way! Oooooooohh yeaahhhhh. Be jealous.
