MDJunction to me

tomboykimi"What MD Junction means to me is a place where i can feel like im not alone. As someone with something as rare as hydrocephalus, it feels like im the only one in the world with it. When i came to MD, its like everyone has it. It doesnt feel like im alone. And that people need to hold up a sign to say what i have, because people know. And they understand. I can get questions answered from people who have been through it rather than from doctors or people who only can tell you from a physical standpoint. THat is what MD junction means to me."

Fell asleep exhausted around 8:30 and work up at 1:30. Five measly hours. It's now about 3:30 and I just can't toss and turn anymore. Any other sleepless folks?

Good morning, Beth! I'm kinda' anxious this a.m. -- I have a dentist appt. this afternoon, just getting a filling, but I'm nervous about it. Last time I had a filling done I had a little bit of a panic attack afterwards, so that's why I'm worried today. I don't want that to happen again. I was shaking all over. It was embarrassing!

Enough about me! How are you today?

Ew. I hate going to the dentist office. I understand you being nervous. I am every single time I go.

Im good I guess. Finally got a teammate from school to participate with the group like she needs to. Yesterday I ended up having to call her to do it, but she is working with us now. Smile

That shows good leadership on your part, Beth. I'm sure it wasn't the most pleasant thing -- having to call her and get her to take on her share of the work -- but once done, things will go better, you'll see.

If necessary, you could talk to your professor about it. My husband sometimes assigned group projects and he could usually tell who was doing the work and who wasn't. And he didn't mind a student coming to him to say there was a problem with everyone doing their share of the work.

I don't recall if you told me this or not, so my apologies if you already have, but what is the project about? What subject?

Everything we do is in a group forum, much like this one, so the teacher can see who does what. I've posted comments to the team saying I was going to call her so the teacher should see that I had to do that.

The project that we are doing right now is on values and ethics.
