Back in the Saddle...

Today is my first day back at work since my surgery. We will see how it goes. I went to the doctor on Friday and he said everything is looking good. Now the hard part will be to stay awake for 8 hours today! Thanks to all of you for your concern and well wishes.

On the Mend...

Surgery went fine. Last week was rough. I was in a lot of pain. Things are getting better. I'm just sore and achy, but it's a big improvement from last week. I walked a few times down my drive way yesterday because the weather was beautiful. It's getting cold here again, so I'm not planning on going outside until it warms up. I have my doctors appointment on Friday and I hope to return to work next Monday. I've been getting a lot of sleep...which has been great. I didn't think I was capable of sleeping that much.

A Medical Phenomenon

I've been suffering from chest pains and stomach pains. The pains would come and go for the last month or so, but the Monday before Christmas it got really bad. At this point we do not know what is wrong with me. My lab work came back OK. I had an ultra sound where they found a cyst on my kidney and a polyp on my gallbladder, but the doctors were not concerned about them. I had a hydascan on Friday and I do not know the result from that yet. It was like an MRI and they ran a small dose of radiation and some medicine through my veins via IV and watched how my gallbladder reacted. Tomorrow I am having a colonoscopy. Hopefully we will find something soon. I sleep all the time and do not have a lot of energy. Everyone seems to think it's my gallbladder, but if I know me they won't find anything wrong with me.

Happy New Year to everyone!
