Still haven't heard back from U of P. This is getting scarey. I mean, they could at least call to let me know if they're even reviewing my file. If I don't hear from them by Monday afternoon, I'll call Tuesday from work.
IF I'm accepted, I KNOW they're going to tell me to get some rehab under my belt so then I'll have to figure out how to handle that. I guess I'd have to be in a regular rehab program so there'd be proof that I had completed one so I guess that means Palmerton Hospital again. If so, I'm going to go to the Pulmo Rehab this time and not the Cardiac Rehab. I really don't like (and haven't heard good things about) Palmerton since the two local hospitals merged into the Blue Mountain Health System. Heck, this is the hospital where I took my 6 min. walk tests and they had me walk for the full 6 mins. even though my sats dropped to 74! That doesn't bode good, ya' know.

Well, here it is, Friday the 21st, and I STILL haven't made that second call to U of P. What is going on in my mind? Why am I afraid to call them? Either they're going to say "yes" (if it was "yes", I figure they would have called) or they're going to say "no"....easy as that. Oh, there is the 3rd alternative..."Please come in for more testing". I wish I could be like others on the board that just take the bulls by the horns and keep on going, pushing...until a problem is solved or a solution is reached. Me? I just wish-wash along.
I think I'm going to join the St. Luke's Center across from Kattner's and start exercising more. AND, Bob is going to go with me...come hell or high water. He's overweight and his back hurts...hmmm, those two tend to go together. It'll also help his depression.
