Common Grazie, I just put "Bravo" yesterday for the plan to do rheumatology and preventive medicine, and today you are not even reporting. Just do not take whole day without studying anything. Believe me I tried it doesn't help later

Hi Pipi,
Thanks for kicking my booty, I really appreciate it  and, it's not like I was watching the olympics inauguration  actually I missed it, darn it!
But, ever since 3 weeks ago I've been having some major pain in my right wrist, left is also aching but not as bad, and you know I am 30 weeks pregnant already, 3rd trimester so these things happen  So, yes I am having a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome problem  ,
I had it before when I was preparing for my step 1but this is 3x more painful  an I am the klind of person that just can't study without writing or drawing graphics, I need that and since this past monday I have been studying and I guess abusing my right hand so it became worse  so yesterday I bought this wrist immobilizer and put some Icy hot to help me  and it's been ok after the resting day, so today I am going back to my study routine since the pain is getting better.
Ok Guys, I will see you around, now I am behind a day 
Thanks Pipi  you are the best study partner- boot kicker , so I better behave as a good CK student 
Hang in there people...

Ok, glad to see you are back... 
I took few days off...and it doesn't do any good....I just became USMLE resistant...I lost positive stress, and was completely happy and relaxed  and  and no studying at all !
Even today I went to wild animal park and I LOOOVE it!!!
Now its 4.30 pm and I will work my butt off as tomorrow morning I want to go to beach, so basically today until midnite I plan to study 
Good luck with your studies! I guess you are studying very hard at this moment and with pregnancy and studying at the same time its deffinitely not easy, but I will be always here to "kick your booty" a little bit
Good luck to everybody!!!!

Pipi,
I just love your emots and the positive energy you bring me with your posts Thank you bonita 
Ok, Weekends are probably not the best time for me to catch up my studies but believe me I am trying. These days i can not tolerate food, unless is spaghetti with shrimps my favorite italian dish  I regret so much not being able to learn how to cook in the past  I could have a better time these days if I did, anyway, let's keep up with CK.
Well, from today I should start with:
 Cardiology Section ...
- Ischemic Heart Dis.
- Unstable Angina / Acute Coronary Artery Syndromes
- Congestive Heart Failure
- Pulmonary Edema
As I said before 20 pgs a day and some questions. I Hope everybody is in track and studying hard 
See you guys around...
Grazie.

Ivonne,
Thanks for your words thank God my baby girl is doing great, kicking like a soccer player all the time  it hurts me so bad sometimes but it's the little price I have to pay I guess
Yesterday after the Doc I had a rough time, as you know my dad-in-law is a terminal Ca patient, something bad happened and I had to stay with them,  life is tough sometimes huh? or better said "Life sucks" sometimes; and there are situations where there is nothing we can do about, and if it wasn't for my strong faith as a christian I think I would be lost  but still, I feel so down now, I better do something to recharge and do what I have to do.
Doc499, Thanks for stopping by, well my plan is to take CK in December, not the best time to rock but I am trying doc. Good luck in your prep.
Ok Guys, problems are always gonna be there, I guess we just have to think positive somehow.
Hang in there.

VIVIR!!!
TO LIVE!!!
There is a song of Marc Anthony called "Vivir" or "To Live" 
I really never paid attention to the lyric, eventhough it's in spanish  we only appreciate the good things when we have gone through really bad things, so, let's enjoy this only life we have and live; because among so many things we are so blessed for being where we are now, with a great opportunity in life, so, let's do it! 
I like Pipi's phrase, Life is Now , not after 1 year when we pass our exam, and even if it sucks to be indoors with no color on our skin, studying like a nerd , we should still enjoy this CK prep, I used to feel that life wont start until I pass my steps but no!  . Now I want to have a different attitude and enjoy everything that life brings me. I really love this forum 
Everyday counts, so no more wasting time or having a face like an abandoned woman  cause this is the time to sweat it off 
Thank you Pipi, God sent you in my way to give me a push and lift me, Thanks!
I gotta go now and make a good use from the hours left of this day.
Grazie.

And God gives you in my life to calm me down a little bit (if that is possible)... 
You are sweet girl really! 
Yes, life is now. Study and enjoy what you are studying, because our goals are so beautiful..Someone will be very gratefull tomorrow to have us as their doctors!
BUT life is really now, and we need to enjoy life and all those activities...I am not quiting on my life because I am studying for USMLE. I organize for my hubby ande me activities at least once a week, nite out, all day visit to zoo, sea world, wild animal park...there are just so many things and I do not want to miss them....
As I told you physical health is important, but so do is mental and to keep my mental health I need to feel life outside USMLE.....My patients want happy and content psych doctor tomorrow, right? If I am stressed, haven't lived the life how on Earth I would be able to help people to get their lifes back on track????
You are doing great! I know its hard time for you now, but please do your best, report here everyday, that will make you sit every day and continuously study, be in USMLE mood as I like to say....
Be happy!
