Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE!


Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween! I’m doing… nothing. Brad is gonna be gone pretty late helping out with the haunted house his work set up so yeah. I think I’ll watch a movie or something. Good news for today is that I did my weigh-in today and even though I only did 2 days of exercise this week.. I LOST 1 POUND! Heck yeah!!!!!!!! I was thinking I might stay the same weight or maybe even have a gain but I did awesomely!!

Oh and my surgery had to be rescheduled because the surgeon had a death in his family so It’s been moved until Tuesday, November 10th!

That’s about it. I’ll be glad when Katies old enough to really go trick or treating!

Surgery

I must update this blog more often! I was getting very good about blogging every day but lately I just haven’t been motivated to as much but I will try!!!

Sunday we got let out of church EARLY!! That is very very very rare! We usually have 3 hours worth of different meetings and Sunday we only had the 1st meeting because the water was messed up at the church so going home early felt weird but was nice. We actually came home then later loaded up again to go to the pond to try to feed the ducks! We brought some old cereal but they weren’t interested really. Haha. We saw a beautiful white crane that was randomly flying and landing around the pond.
Monday I actually got on the treadmill and did 3 miles! My thighs were a little sore the next day but WOO felt good to jog again!
Tuesday was my appointment to see the surgeon to see If I needed the surgery to take my gallbladder out. The surgeon was so laid back and nice! He’s an older guy but he was great. Basically, he said I’ve had the stones for 25 months so he suspects I developed them from pregnancy. He recommended that I do have it removed because it could potentially lead to even more symptoms and then bigger problems that would lead to emergency surgery. He asked me what I wanted to do.. and I’m like do I want to do the surgery? I told him yes. I’m thinking in my head… well, no I don’t want to have surgery lol but I know it’s whats best for me. I’m sooo nervous and scared since It’ll be my first surgery and I’ve never been put to sleep. I go in this coming TUESDAY! I’ll be out the same day too, woot. Only problem? I can’t lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for a week after the surgery.. ugh. Which MEANS I will need help here with Katie almost all day for a week. I’m hoping we can somehow get my Mom down here because I don’t know of anyone else honestly who could be here almost all day. Ah well, we’ll get it figured out. Which also means I’ll have to take another week off from exercise… bah!!!!!

Also have another exciting event coming up but I’m gonna wait till later to reveal it, mwahaha! :)

Health

Bah. Sorry I haven’t posted in a while… just haven’t been in the mood for blogging. First up, I haven’t exercised any this week because of my health issues which REALLY SUCKS. I feel so bored and out of whack when I don’t have my exercise!!!!! I’ll see how I feel Monday and hopefully start there!

Tuesday was insane. Come to find out I have gall stones and am supposed to hear back from the Docs office on an appointment with the surgeon to see If I need to get my gall bladder out or not. They sent me for x-rays for my back and I wound up with 2 big Cortizone shots! One in my back and the other in my hip… yeah those go DEEP, YOUCH. For the palpatations he gave me a prescription for Toprol to hopefully help with that. The shots helped!!! The intense pain is gone but I still have some pulling and nerve pain in my lower back and into my legs.

UGH. I’ll be glad when I get all this resolved and over with. I still have felt tired, have had random dizzy spells when I get up and still not feeling right. What else? Not much.. we’ve been trying to figure out our finances. Money is definetly evil. EVIL!
