Weak, in Pain, and Woke up too early..

So I decided to blog for a while. I am Weak because I had my gallbladder removed yesterday. I am in Pain also because of the fact that I had my gallbladder removed yesterday. I should take some of my pain medications, but that makes me dizzy and drowsy, so I will wait on that for a little bit. I woke up too early because I went to bed at 10:30 after waking up at 10:00. I have never done that before and James thinks it's because of the medications and I have to admit, he's right on that one! I think that I mentioned on my last post that I had my blood drawn to see everything was OK and it was! On Saturday, I went back to the doctors because she wanted to test my blood again but this time for the fact that my iron is low. I haven't received those results yet, but I think I already know the answer. I am anemic (I think) and this is just confirming it. My doctor is also referring me to a fertility specialist in Shawnee Mission. I just need to fill out the necessary forms and mail them out so they can schedule me an appointment. Hope that everything goes well and there's no complications. I think that I am done for this entry so I will sign off. I think that I will take some of my pain medication and see if I can take a nap... Until the next post, have a great day and God bless!

Update...

Remember when I said that I got blood drawn for tests? Well, the results are in! Everything is good! PTL!!!! I am really happy about this. Although my doctor wanted me to give more blood to figure out why my iron is so low (I am thinking that I am anemic, but I could be wrong). I will keep everyone (or whoever reads this) informed about what she finds out. Oh and the time changed on my surgery. It was supposed to be at 12pm, but it's now earlier. I don't know what time it is, but I do know that I have to be there at 9:45 versus 10:45am. My eyelids are droopy so I will sign off now. Have a great rest of the weekend and God Bless!

Interesting Week....

I have had an interesting week and it's not over until tomorrow. On Monday, I went to the doctor's to see what James and I can do about trying to conceive again and ended up having my blood drawn (three vials total!!!) and the results came in, but unfortunately, I wasn't home to receive the call so I have to call tomorrow (pray please). I also went to the doctor's to see what they can do about this throat thing that has been bothering me and come to find out, it's my yes my fault. If I just took the Omeprazole like I was supposed to when I was done with my medication for H-Pylori, my throat wouldn't be hurting me. Come to find out, it's acid build-up and the only way to get rid of it is to take Omeprazole (generic for Prilosec). Go figure! I just rolled my eyes as I typed Go Figure! When it rains, it pours, I guess. My doctor also wanted to see if I was doing better from all the treatment when I had H-Pylori and I told her that I am fine; just had to watch what I was eating and I have had flare-ups every now and then and she told me that it would be best if I get my gallbladder removed since I am doing better. "It's better to get rid of it now while you are healthy than to have to deal with occasional flare-ups", she said. So today, I went to see the surgeon and she had no choice but to schedule a day for me to have my gallbladder removed (only because I told her that I am still in pain even though I am done with treatment). I am having it removed this Monday. A week from today, James and I are going to Iowa to spend time with his cousin, his wife, and their two girls...or so we thought. Just kidding... we are still going, but instead of me using my vacation hours, I am using my sick hours. Long story short, in order for me to get the time off for my surgery, I needed to use my sick hours and the fact that the time off the doctor wanted me to re cooperate coincides with the time that I am going to Iowa, Connie (Personnel Manager) figured that I should use my sick hours and save my vacation hours for another time. I will write here tomorrow when I find out my results from my blood work. To be continued...

New York! New York!

This is what it looked like in Odessa, New York this time last year. With the exception of summer, I think it snowed so much that I lost count. Even during Spring it snowed. Didn't like living in New York for that reason. Here's a rare picture that you don't get to see everyday the sun setting as you are driving and you don't want to miss it so you have your spouse take the picture for you. I don't know why I am talking about New York maybe because today it's snowing and it's Spring and not to mention that we are in KANSAS not NEW YORK anymore. Here's a picture that James took of the moon while he was on the balcony of our apartment here in Lawrence. I am thankful James has a good eye for the camera or else, who knows? I am in a good mood because of the fact that I can say that my throat is 100% better! Yup, 100% better and it's because of the Nurse Practitioner , Ivan Hart! He's the one who gave me the great meds and now I am feeling grrreeaattt!!! On a negative note though, James is still sick. I hope that he gets better before he comes back to Kansas on Friday. I guess that's all I have for now. Until next post, God bless!

Complete Randomness

Josh Groban (click on the link to hear the song if you want to hear it) This song is one of my favorites by him. The name of the song is called, "Mai". Even though I don't know what he is saying, it's soothing and I pretend like as if I can sing along with him. I am also testing to see if I can upload videos on here. This video is quite old. This is from Christmas 2010, my niece Cara's first one. Don't ask me why I am putting this on here. If this works, I can put more videos on here. Video didn't work so I deleted it. Oh and by the way, my throat is better! 100% better! Can't wait to go back to work tomorrow and most importantly, I can't wait until James comes back from New York on Thursday! Let me tell you, being sick and not having your husband around not good! Well, I am going to sign off for now.
