7 Things This Chronically ill Week Has Taught Me

1. If you put gut bacteria from thin humans into obese mice they become thin again. Very cool. Slightly awkward to get asked if you are a thin human. "Can I have some of your gut bacteria?"...Sure...why? "Well I'm going to inject it into obese mice and see what happens!" 

Obese to thin. I told you bacteria was amazing!

2. Never merely trust the outside super glue description. If it's way to liquidly you will get super glue on you and then superglue yourself to a paper towel trying to get it off. Thank goodness for keeping lots of nail polish remover around.

3.Having origami skills comes in handy. I get to use them to volunteer for card making help for our local Girl Pioneers. Alright, not until November but I am still excited. Now if they would only let me help on wood cutting for the boys pioneers...

4. Google plus is a great and wonderful place to meet people who also love science and are a thousand times smarter than you. Their hard work makes this world a more interesting, and hopefully, better place.

5. Having an excellent EKG is worth being happy over. Finding out you don't have to return to the cardiologist for another six months is also a feeling worthy of happiness.

6. I don't thank God nearly enough for giving me yet another beautiful day to wake up to.

7. There is such a thing as to much Mystery Diagnosis. It's best to not watch multiple episodes in a single day. Savor them episode by episode.

Positive thought of the day: Fall is upon us. Good-bye summer heat and hello being able to be outside!
