Shadowing:
Kids get botox!! Yup, I've learned here that it is true that children who have problems with their joints and their joints not flexing or extending to the appropriate degree may be given botox injections in order to increase the flexibility there. I was definitely unaware of this practice before shadowing here. Often time, botox combined with casting really helps kids to reach new degrees in flexion and extension of their limbs.
Today, for one of the hours that I shadowed, I observed a woman that seemed very similar to me personality-wise. She was over-excitatory but I could tell that she thoroughly enjoyed what she was doing. I feel like the way that she worked with her patient is very similar to the way that I will work with my patient's in the future because I'm not a really loud person and I like a good combination and fun and seriousness. It was nice to see someone that I feel works like I do because it gives me an assurance that there are people with VERY similar characteristics as me in this field. Basically, it was a little confidence booster that I can be successful in this career with the personality that I have. :)
In Other News:
Lucas and I are transitioning very nicely into living together. I am actually quite surprised. I can see now that us being apart is the trunk of a lot of our arguements. It's very hard on my emotionally whenever we're apart and now looking back, I see that I take a lot of that emotion out on him on the occasion that we do get to see each other because I know it is going to end.
Anywho, we have been sharing ALL responsibilities. From cooking to trash to dishes to driving to work in the morning. It has been very nice knowing that he is just as willing to have an egalitarian relationship as I am. It's a great relief knowing that I will be able to rely on him when I need to in the future! :)
THIS WEEKEND: Lucas and I are going to meet with friends at the Good Guys Car Show at LP Field and spend the day there. I'm really excited because it was a lot of fun last year and it gives him and opportunity to spend time with his friends. I also enjoy spending time with Haven and Broady. They're a great couple to go on double dates with.
Also, on Sunday, we have plans to go to a Nature Area in the Brentwood area and take a picnic with us which will be really nice. Hopefully we'll go to church somewhere too. I think we both really need it AND we really need to start looking for a church home so that we'll have somewhere to attend after we get married and while I'm in graduate school.
Since this blog has been rather lengthy, I'll think I'll close now BUT before I go I want to leave you with this wonderful recipe that Lucas and I had last night. Butternut Squash, Spinach and Black Bean Enchiladas--They were delicious!!!

Hope you enjoy! ~Megan
