A Long Couple of Weeks

We have had quite the couple of weeks, starting out with an overnight visit to the Emergency Room. For awhile now I have been having some extreme pains in my abdomen and back. The doctor that I first saw was convinced it was a bad bladder infection so I was on antibiotics for a week until the pain was so bad Tom made me go to the ER. Over the next week we did test after test, went to doctor after doctor and no one could come up with what it was. Finally we did a HIDA Scan which is where they inject the Radioactive Dye into you and watch your Gall Bladder functions. Well mine was not working at all. So two days later I had the opportunity to have surgery... not really an opportunity, but I do feel better. Tom says he knows I am feeling better because it is the first time in 3 weeks that I am actually asking for food.

My mom was an angel and came stayed with me for a couple of days and made me home made Chicken Noodle Soup, is there anything better.
One of the sadest parts of this whole ordeal was missing Brooke's baby shower and getting to see some of my closest friends, sorry to have missed it! And I didn't get to spend anytime with my family, we were all supposed to be together and we had the whole weekend planned out, but Tom and I did not make it! We love you all and really missed getting to see you! Anyway sorry this was so long winded, but I just wanted to give an update and that is all that has been going on in our lives.

I am so happy that you found out what was causing you all that pain. Too bad for a surgery but at least the pain is gone. We MISSED you. It has been years, I almost forgot what you looked like!!! Hopefully you will be able to make it to the next girls get together.
