Quite a week!

My story. I’m doing well now. I had a rough week, but was able to fit in all the fun stuff, so that’s the best part.

Boyce and Suzanne arrived here Saturday, the 17th and left Gracie with us for a few days while they had a getaway. We took care of her from Sunday night until Thursday night.


Friday night, we got a sitter for Gracie and the four of us went to see “Sherlock Holmes.” Then at about midnight, I woke up feeling awful and threw up off and on all night long. Doug had had this junk the Tuesday before and shared it with me! Saturday, Boyce and family left for home and I was pretty thrashed, but by evening felt much better and so we made a few last-minute deliveries and did our 12 Days People before coming home for the evening. Sunday morning, Doug took his weekly trek to the prison and I stayed home watching “The Nativity Story.” Went to Church and loved our meeting – all music! We came home, opened our presents, and then went to Christmas dinner with Rolland and LaVelle's family at Karen, their daughter's house. We had a fabulous feast and loved being with family. Upon getting home, after about an hour, I began to experience some pain in my right side and it just kept increasing until I couldn’t stand it anymore and off we went to the ER, thinking maybe I had appendicitis or a bowel blockage. Upon arriving, they thought it more likely a kidney stone. They gave me pain meds and took me for a CAT scan which revealed a bowel blockage due to the hernia. The ER was CRRAAZY that night and I waited quite a while for a 2nd dose of pain medication which took away the pain, but caused me major nausea and throwing up. I got to a room at about 3:30 in the morning and the pain was gone. Maybe throwing up caused everything to go back in place. It was decided surgery was needed just the same because it would happen again. I went into surgery about 5:00 on Monday and they cut me open and repaired two hernias. I was in the hospital until Wednesday afternoon and am recovering nicely here at home. It’s been very painful – not the incision so much as where they repaired. I have about a 6-inch incision below my belly button and have 16 staples. Anyway, every day it gets a little less painful and I’m sleeping pretty well. So there’s my story!
Beautiful bouquet from Boyce & Suze to help me feel better!

Boy, isn't life crazy - one minute you are feeling great and the next you are in the hospital! So glad you are getting better with each passing day. Take it slow.
Love Susan
