Early Saturday Morning

Good morning ya'all!!  Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend.  I have to work all weekend AND Monday.  UGH! That sucks!  Especially since Tony gets to be off all that time.  Bummer!  I was supposed to go on a road trip to TN with some girls from work next weekend, but I'm not going to be able to swing it with my finances.  Sounds like everyone is having a run of the money troubles these days.  Damn economy!  Next month I'm going to be a bridesmaid in my friend, Natalie's wedding.  Not one of my favorite activities, but eh, that's what ya do for friends I guess.  We got sized for our dresses last month, and I told them to order it smaller because it was going to have to be altered.  Now I hear they charge $80 to do alterations...uhhhhh, sorry.  I'm not made of money.  It was bad enough I had to buy the dress anyway.  $120 bucks for a dress that I'll only wear once.  Why do I agree to these things.  Sheeeesh!  Sorry if I'm kinda crabby today, it's that time, ya know...  I gotta vent somewhere...Sorry guys!!  I still love ya'all though.  Well, I'm stuck at work for 4 more hours, so I guess I should go find something to do.  I've already finished all my work for tonight, so I guess I'll find something to clean.  I wish I could take a nap, but work kinda frowns on that. hahaha

Good morning all...

Thanks to my noisy spastic stomach, I think I got maybe 2 hours of sleep last night. It is still being pretty active but if it ever slows down some, I'll try to get another hour or two in.

I added to my blog on here to kinda catch up everyone to this point. The more I wrote, the more depressed I got. I'm going to call to get in to see my family doctor Tuesday. I think I need some professional help dealing with all of this crap. I won't post a pic of my belly..trust me, it'd be WAY more graphic than Misty's hemotoma was...but everytime I see it without the bandaging on it, I just want to sit down and cry. Between that and me not being able to go to sleep/stay asleep, I really feel like I need some help.

I would really appreciate it if you guys would all just keep my in your thoughts & prayers. I really think that these tests & surgeons needs God's guidance to get to the bottom of what is wrong with my stomach. As bad as the spasms were last night, I think my mind working overtime was an even bigger issue.

Keep me in your prayers everyone...please....

Sherri, I am at a loss of words as what to say. I can't imagine going thru what you have. Just know that I think of you often and admire your strength in all of this. I know you have MANY friends that are here to comfort you in any way. Jana

Jana,

Thank you. I know I would be totally lost if it weren't for the love and understanding of my husband, my kids, and my very dear friends here on this board. I thank God every day for each and every one of you. I do try to have the strength to deal with this stuff..but I do believe in knowing yourself well enough to know when to say help. I'm definately at this point. I try really hard to be a positive influence for people and to try to look at things in the best light possible. This whole deal with my stomach opening up and then the doctor's ignorant statements yesterday is just a bit more than I can handle right now.

As positive as I try to remain, I do think it's important for others to know that it's okay to ask for help when you need it. Right now..what I need from each of you...is ALOT of prayers that those biopsies will show Dr. Fecht what is going on. Until this distension issue is taken care of, nothing else can be either. I think seeing that there really is a MEDICAL REASON for all of this will help to open his eyes some that it is not all because of me having the RNY. Of course, prayers for my nerves will help too...

Thanks again Jana...I do appreciate your kind words....

Sherri , we're praying for you hon!!

Good morning everyone. Well last night I got a lil more rest but still up every couple hours. I tried to go a little extra time without pain meds and now I'm trying to play catch up. Dr C was NOT lying when she said that I would be hurting. Overall I'm feeling a tad better though. I tried to advance to mushies last night and it didn't sit well so I'm back to full liquids for a few more days.

We're praying like mad for LaChelle and all of you. (( HUGS )) all around.
