Surgery....again?

Yes, it is true....2008 is not my year to be healthy! Saturday, August 9, 2008, I went to the Science Center with my friends Peggy and Rich and then we went out to eat at a yummy Mexican place...nachos yummy! Then I came home that afternoon and my parents and grandma wanted to go out to eat again for dinner. We went to Village Inn and I had my favorite cheeseburger! Anyway, I know what you are all thinking...man she's a pig! :) Anyway, that night I went home, and I was talking to my friend Heather on the phone and then went to bed around 10:00 or so. I started having the biggest pains in my right side. I just thought I ate too much and it was settling right on my stomach. So, an hour goes by, and I decide to call my mom and dad and wake them up! my mom decided to come down to my house, because she could tell I was in a lot of pain and I was crying! We sat in my room fro about an half an hour when we decided to go to the ER. We were blessed, because there was no one in the waiting room in the ER and I got to straight back. They took some urine, blood and did an ultrasound, and gave me an IV full of pain medicine...which was extremely needed! Anyway, another hour goes by and the test results were in! I had..........GALLSTONES...and the word these was Numerous! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'm 28! So, they admit me into the hospital, and I have my own room, and just waited for surgery. I was able to go to surgery, and had the scope (three holes in my stomach) and they sucked out my gallbladder. Now, 3 days after that I tried to go to work, and made it 1/2 a day. I'm still in a lot of pain, but a different kind of pain, the incision pain and it feels like I have done a billion sit ups. Anyway, I survived and many friends and family have been checking on me. I finally made it back to my place, and I'm grateful that I was able to have parents who take care of me :)

Ah Michelle! I'm so sorry! No fun! I'm glad to hear you are okay now. Surgery is the worst! I haven't talked to you in ages. Thank goodness for blogging, though. We need to do something sometime. By the way, do you know the scoop about a reunion? Are we going to have one? I just haven't heard since your last comment about it. I hope we have one for reals. Would love to see everyone. You are amazing girl! Love, Cam
