please pray for chris...

most of you know that he mangled his wrist pretty bad last week...

well, this morning they wheeled him off to surgery. he has bad nerve damage, and they wanted to see if they can fix anything.

i know he'll be alright, and the God is control, but i'm kinda angry about the whole thing. i'm not sure who i'm angry with... but it all just sucks super bad.

pray for chris' cut, his surgery, and his healing time. pray for my stress level and my heart.... pray that i can pull it together so that i can actually be of some use to him when he'll really need me.

*besos*

very cool thing...

so,

i'm a researcher. sure, this sounds a little out there and vague. eh, it is! but the coolest things happen in research. you meet tons of people, and you really feel invested in helping the population your researching. some days it really sucks... like most days. but for the most part, it tends to be rewarding.

anywho, doctors are required to write about all of these studies. you know, like the reports you hear on tv and what not. so, my doctors (my bosses on my main study) have been working on this paper to send to the ADA (American Diabetes Association). they finally had to send the abstract (the pre-paper, paper) for approval this week. if the abstract gets approved, then they have a year or so to write the full paper on the research to be presented at a national conference. yeah, i work on stuff like that... how cool is that?!?

but, here's the best part. the biggest thing for these papers is the list of authors and how they are listed. the best spot is at the end, that goes to the top, most important doc, the first spot goes to the main doc who actually did the studying (but, the top dog doc, it still better.. even if they didn't do all the work! so true int eh real world!). then you include all the other docs who worked on the research. there's an order there, but i don't know what...

okay... then, if you happened to help in any way... as in, if your research staff, your name gets put in at the very end of the paper, in the recognitions.. hence, where my name is on two papers floating around somewhere.

BUT.... in this study... MY NAME IS IN THE LIST OF AUTHORS.

yes... out of nowhere, my main doc boss decided to not put me in the recognitions, but as an actual author.. for all my hard work. how awesome is that!!!

ha... if it gets approved, then you can google me and a real scholastic paper will come up!

*besos*
