Zero, AWESOME goal you've done, pharmacy school. Hey, you know what I did last niht chemicly that proved uncool?
I let a semi-deep wound (1/4" inch deep , 3/4" long cut, from slamming back hand into computer box metal edge without gloves on) get infected. So I started to think of how to get the puffy redness and pain out of there. The cut was over a week old and I had daily been dressing it 1st week but then slacked off after that span. I bought a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and then cut into the cut and fortunately push could still drain out . After that 'scalpel' work (I used my pocket knife) on myself, ahhhhh, aiiiii!, I began pouring the peroxider into the cut. I did this and watched the cool liquid seep into my cut's crevice and bubble a while and store. Bubbling means peroxide is fighting the infection. I did this procedure every 1-2 minutes for the next 3 hours. It was working! I could feel, no pun intended of a good Christian soft rock song, but I could feel this was wear the healing was beginning as the redness was going away. Well, so, things were good as I did this procedure again and again and again and....
However, after that three-hour span, I looked at the inside of my palm as I was doing this procedure on the same hand's outside knuckle. My palm was fine but then I looked at my fingertips. The ends of all five tips had a white film on them that made my fingerprint lines visible. Weird! So , I thought maybe I burned my fingertips in water when I first put my infected knuckle area in scalding water. But that made no sense because wouldn't my whole hand be burned looking?
So after staring at my palm, and, realizing it was starting to hurt with pain as if it was burned!, I did the next sensible thing. I prayed to God to stop this whitening, ugly, transformational effect on my hand, and, stop the mild pain in four fingers and one finger with medium pain. Still with me?
Anyway, I then realized this peroxide procedure I was doing and took a look at the bottle. It said don't put peroxide on more than three times daily. Hmm, I think I poured it in my cut 33x3 times in that three hour span!
I quit peroxide treatment and went to sleep with sore fingies
I knew things would be fine cuz I prayed to God and He, as always, got me through this situation ad apparently peroxider was seeping through wound into my skin. Scary stuff! Good God ! I have such a good caring God as the very minute I prayed of seeing my alien hands (lol) transformation He was fast at work putting my angst to ease.
I don't rightly know why I just told you this story, Zero, and anyone else reading, because it has nothing to do with goals. But it certainly does have everything to do with God calming me in a coming-on anxious situation and when we make goals 'that' can make us anxious too. Go after 'them' (your many concrete goals mentioned in your above reply, Zero) with God at the center of your thinking, also, stage-left, stage-right, and, all over that platform that is your life .
