Oh my goodness....I am the worst blogging slacker ever!!! When I realized that the last post was before christmas I about died!!! My sincere apologies.
Update!
Christmas rocked!!! It was much needed family time and a wonderful break.
School Rocks! We both are really enjoying this semester.
The house I think is finally starting to make progress! The deck is finished....some carpet is replaced...some painting is done...and we have bought lots of new materials!!! Hopefully by summer!!! A whole new house.....
We are both starting to feel much better.
Ok....I know we need a better update than that!! So many of you know that I recently had surgery...2 weeks ago. About mid february I got really sick....strep throat and just general awfulness. It was about this time that I started to really feel this horrible pain in my abdomen and right under my right shoulder blade. I was so sick and it hurt so bad that Terry had to take me too the Emergency room. The told me that I had gall stones and that my gallbladder was a little inflammed. GREAT!!! This meant that I needed surgery. I was not a happy camper!!! They sent us home. I go to my regular doctor the next day and she gives me meds to cure my infection so that I can schedule surgery....slowly feeling better. A week later I met with my surgeon, who also happened to be my mom's surgeon!! I happened to get lucky and caught a cancelation for 2 days later!!!! So the 25th was the magical day! I am super nervous and excited all the same. I now know that I have been feeling the effects from these stones for about a year. I was ready to rid myself of this painful little organ. So we go in at DARK:30 for surgery. Terry was so great!! I was shakin in my boots!!! Shortly after we got there, I got really nosey and decided to look over my charts. I saw that my anesthesiologist that was scheduled was my bishop~!! All the sudden all my cares were gone!! So So So grateful for the preisthood!!! Anyways, the time came and I kissed my hubby and they wheeled me away. I met my surgical team(which were awesome) and laughed because they were playing AC/DC in the srugery room! They prepped me and put me to sleep. The next thing I remeber is waking up in a very dark room all alone and I could not move. All I could do was moan!!! This small chinese nurse came over and started bossing me around...it was all very funny considering I was still coming out of anesthesia! Anyways, shortly after my hubby and my mama came in. Thank goodness for these two amazing people in my life. I couldn't have done it without either of them. Anyways. they got me up...which was the worst ever!!! This was the first moment that I realized how much my abdomen hurt!! 5 incisions later and your ab muscles get crazy sore! Anyways, i got to go home which was great! I spent a great deal of that day walking around (trying to keep away the blood clots) and sleeping in a chair (because it hurt too bad to lay down). When they do this surgery, they have to pump you full of gas in order to see everything and move around in there. Anyways, some of the gas stays trapped in your body and it is horrible painful!!! Long story short, my mom taught me all the good ways to move and she cleaned my house and cooked....and made me laugh...which was harder than I ever thought it would be!! She was a god send!! I spent the next week trying to push my limits and recover sooner! Go figure!
I am doing really well now! My inicisions are healing well and i am back down to normal size! I can do everything except bend in half and pick up heavy things....and physical activity (besides walking). Thingd look like they are finally getting bck to normal. I already feel SO much better...havent felt this good in like a year!
Speaking of a year...we are rapidly approaching our 1st anniversary! WOW!! That means that we have almost been together for 3 years!! My, how time flies!! Oh how I love that man!!
This brings us to the last very exciting update!
In just one week, we will be packing up and hitting the road for spring break! Where are we going?
