Well quick update I guess since I have a little bit of time to kill before my doctor's appointment.
Guess to start, I'm on chit for running which means I can't do the obsticle course tomarrow. I'm fucking disapointed like shit, but keeping on a good face I think...just hard to be cheering from the sidelines as everyone else does it.
What happened was a week or so ago my legs were just killing me from all this running, so I went to the doctor. After some talking they suspect I might have compartamental syndrome, which is well, could be kinda bad. Generally my calf is too big for the casing, so when it expands it crushes my nerves...if I keep pushing it, I could permently damage my nerves or even kill the mussle...so until we can find out for sure it's not or have some surgery, they don't want me really running.
Going back today to see more doctors and tests
Am growing a bit home sick, been away from home for nearly 3 months now. Decided to go home for thanksgiving, although it's not much of a vacation. I'll leave Friday night/Saturday morning and have to be back Monday night. That little trip will cost about 700 bucks and although it's really pricey...I think it's worth it a bit. My mom agreed to go halfs on it, which really means it's about 350...that's about an entire paycheque for me, and really what else was I going to do with that money? Spend it on alcohol?
Also was talking to my mom...my grandmother's heath is getting worse and it's becomming clearer and clearer that she won't make it till Christmas. So really, this could be the last time I'll see her alive and apparently she wants to see me too.
I don't know about school, I feel like I'm always falling behind yet...not motivated to catch up. I fear what the mid-terms will be like, but I don't know. I understand it, that's the problem, yet I have a feeling when it comes down to the exam...I'll blank out and fail.
Oh well, hopefully that won't happen and I'll suprise myself...or pick up my shorts and catch up properly to the class.
Two more days left of FYOP, and I'm nearly ready to count down the hours left. It's been fun, but definately, this is only something you want to do once in your life...
Anyway should leave now to catch the base taxi, it has a tendancy of either being really late or come earily and leave...already skrewed up one of my appointments because of it, and I'm determined to not let it happen again ^^

Ever since you had mentioned it, I had feared you would have a leg problem that might be lasting. I can only understand how frustrating and hindering it feels when you want to push as far as the rest. But don't be discouraged, my friend. Taking a trip back home for thanksgiving (ya'll celebrate thanksgiving?!) is something the doctor ordered...but I hope they don't try to keep you back! ><
As for your grades, don't be discouraged about that either...just keep pushing, even when it seems your efforts are fruitless. I'll be praying for you so that you get over your slump and you can pass your mid-terms. {=)
Keep your chin up, Okey Pokes, Everything's gonna be okay!
*hug*
iunno what else to say but i'll pray for ya Sarah for everything ^^

Hope it's not shin splints
I had those really bad and they didn't ever get better so I'm getting medically discharged. I mean, it's not necesarily a bad thing about the discharge. It just bothers me that I have so many things wrong with me that I didn't before I joined. The army's tough, and it's definitely not for everyone. At least veterans affairs is gonna compensate me for my injuries when I get out. I hope you don't have to go through the same stuff I did and make a good recovery. Good luck and keep your chin up!
Good luck Sarah. I'm rooting for you.

Oddly, my Grandmother's failing in health too. o_O What a convenient trait we share together. o_o;;'' Another strange coinkidink, is that when I was in gym class we discovered that I have some fucked up knee mussle rubbing thing going on, so I can't push them to hard, or they will deterorate because apparently something is in the wrong location and is rubbing the wrong way. THAT MADE SENSE. xD;; It sounds a bit simmilar, and also, my feet bend inward like yours do.
Our feet are connected, Sarah .
but really, you better send me a huge ass letter when you get done with FYOP >: O
