Change of Plans

Well... my surgery was supposed to be outpatient and on Friday. However, I was in so much pain that I ended up on the phone all Sunday evening with my surgeon and scheduling surgery for the following morning. I went into the ER first thing in the morning and (eventually) got medicine for the pain. Surgeon came in my room at 1:30ish and said, "It's your lucky day, I have an opening at 2pm, someone cancelled... " SO, my surgery was performed shortly after. After surgery I was in post-op/recovery room and luckily I kept harrassing my nurse asking her over and over again to let me see my husband. She said they usually wait to get my pain under control so he's not scared, and that I could see him when I get back to my room. Yeah... I wanted to see him then. She finally let me see him, and I'm so thankful. Once I saw his smile I knew everything would be ok. I asked him today, "was I loopy when you saw me in post op?" and he said, "Yeah... but you were so cute." hahaha.

Michael had to go home and care for the kids but my Mom visited later that night. She was there while the nurses tried to get my pain under control, and I was so happy to have her. Today she came again in the morning and my Dad picked me up and drove me home around 1:30pm. I'm home now and resting in the "room of rest and healing" that my sweet husband set up for me! yummy smelling candle, soft music, lots of movies and my laptop on the table. He's an angel. I will be off my feet and not able to take care of the kids for atleast a week,... but hopefully if I take it easy now I'll recovery quicker and be able to get back to life as normal!
I'm still having a LOT of pain, but this too shall pass. Your prayers for a speedy recovery are greatly appreciated!!

I'm sorry this all happened so fast that we didn't have time to notify everyone of what was happening. If you're just hearing about this now, Please don't take it personally! Between caring for me and the kids, Michael's been busy, and I can't talk much without pain. Anyway we're ok now, God is good, all the time. As I said, I'm home now, and the gallbladder-from-Satan has been removed! haha.

Thanks to all of your your love, prayers and support!
God bless!

p.s. It is hard for me to talk much right now due to a lot of chest pain. But I can respond to text messages anytime, so feel free to text me on my cell phone- or email me- and touch base! :)
