Getting Better.....

So, I've had a rough week! Monday night I started not to feel well and by 11:30 pm I was in excruciating pain so I went in to the ER. They ordered an ultrasound and Catscan and found out I had a Kidney Infection, 12 MM Cyst that ruptured on my left ovary and 4 MM Kidney Stone! They sent me home with pain meds and antibiotics and told me to try to pass it on my own. I got home about 5:30 am and started vomiting-I couldn't even keep down my pills or water! So, I went back in at 10:00 am. They started IV's and ordered an X-Ray which showed my kidney stone was actually 6 MM and scheduled an Ureaoscopy to take out my stone. The surgery was 12:30 on Wednesday and they lasered my stone and put in a stent. I stayed overnight in the hospital and they sent me home on 5 medications on Thursday. I felt the worst when I woke up on Friday, so my doctor advised me to go back in! I was so sick of that place!!! I went back in and they said I was dehydrated and my body was "rejecting" the stent, which was causing pain so they took it out and observed me and sent me home. What an ordeal! I have a 50% chance of getting another stone in the next 5 years, but I pray I don't! It honestly is the worst pain, worse than labor!! I am recuperating at home, I'm just very tired and sore. God-willing, I will go back to work on Tuesday. Thank You for all the prayers!

CALIFORNIA

Well, we made it back from California despite some plane delays (5.5 hours total, yuck!) We had such a nice time and we are so happy that Dan and Kolbey are married! We had two days to ourselves, one day we saw Malibu, Venice, Hollywood and Santa Monica-it was beautiful! The other day we went to Sea World and saw lots of shows. the best was the Shamu show! We lived in my brother's new house while we were out there and helped with some wedding stuff. Sarah and I dressed up as 80's for the Bachelorette Party and the guys went golfing. Here are some pics from our trip, now back to reality! I am avoiding the 6 loads of laundry I still have to fold!
