Aah!

Amidst all the chaos I forgot to post GABE GOT A JOB! He starts tomorrow and we're so excited. Thanks to his cousin, Tim, he's going to start out as a dishwasher/prep cook at the Half Shell. This is an answer to prayers. Things were startin to get a lil scary. We weren't sure if he was going to be able to find a job or not then BOOM within pretty much a week he got this job lined up. Can't wait for him to start working again. I know it'll help him feel better and we'll finally be able to start preparing for life again!

WOW

So! I figured I should finally do an update on everything! I can't remember where I left off of...but...Here we go! October 7th was my endoscopy...they couldn't find anything but my liver enzyme levels were still sky rocketing and I was getting jaundice. It was awful and the doctor was really concerned so he sent me in the very next day for an MRI. So Oct 8th was my MRI. That's when I started getting results. Found out my gall bladder was a third full with stones! FINALLY! I knew it was my gall bladder....I knew it was...They scheduled an appointment with amazing Dr. Hofflander Oct 14th, I went in, we discussed, 2 hours later...if even that...I was being registered for surgery that very day! So October 14, 2010 my gall bladder was removed around....5 pm! I went home and woke Gabe up every 3 hours so he could take me pee. Bless his heart. I was in so much pain tho I couldn't go by myself. Plus I'd end up getting really dizzy and would pretty much have to run back to the couch before I puked. During all this my period had started the 7th...and I kept bleeding...and bleeding....and bleeding..graphic I know, I'm sorry. It wasn't stopping and I was losing HUGE clots every single day....Like 5 during a day. It was going on over 30 days and I was getting really worried so I went and saw Dr. Swainston. He did an ultrasound on me and saw cysts on my ovaries and a thickened endometrium and the starting of fybroids on my uterus so he decided I should get a D/C done before I turn anemic. So November 24th I got a D/C done and got all scraped out. Interesting procedure to have done before Thanksgiving but I'm very grateful for doctors who are here to help me. My body is still really out of wack and I'm still on the mend but I hope this is the start of better things to come. Now we just have to get my thyroid back on track and all that fun stuff. But it was eatin at me to update my blog! But as everyone will see it's been a CRAZY couple of months! Year really but the past 2 months has been jam packed with stuff happening. So there you have it! My health update as of November 28, 2010.

Christmas in 27 days??... Really??....
