Me too, have you gotten any phone calls yet? My son said in a letter that if he got a 100 on his test he would get a phone call home on Friday. No phone call, so I am guessing no 100%.....

He too had his tooth extracted...was not having san easy time.I am not handling these days well at all!! still not sure whether he would pass his PIR and be graduating so I have not made any reservations yet......is it okay to wait until the 4th week has ended!!

I think we're all holding our breath and carrying our cells like it's our life alert. Dustin stated in his letters that he passed the physical test and was swimming and floating. So far, no word on the wisdom teeth and no phone call. His bunkmates GF has been keeping me up to date since she's received two phone calls. Neema, welcome to our world, I think we've all had moments, days, and hours where we just don't want to do anything. Time seems to stand still and it's kind of funny that I think the whole world should know I'm struggling during the down times. Hopefully after this ride stops, we'll be able to offer our words of wisdom to new SR moms without saying things like, "no news is good news", "the time was pass quickly, you'll see", "what doesn't kill 'em will make 'em stronger" and every other over used motivational phase ever uttered! (please poke my eyes out now) we'll simply say it sucks! Yep, plain and simple, the waiting is horrible. The good news, we're free to share it all here and none of us (so far) thinks any of us has lost it yet. If you're attending the meet and greet, I'm bringing wine and the blender!! Keep us posted. Robin
