What a beautiful day yesterday!  Today is a good day to study.  Having to take mom in law to church this morning.  So anyway, don't have a lot to share today.  Had a meltdown last night. All the crap just came to a head and I just sobbed and sobbed.  Feel...clean.  Something about a release always helps.

Have a good day all!

I'm now 1 week post op from my gallbladder removal and I still feel like crud. I was discharged on Sunday and I had to go back to work because I am precepting on the floor I work as student for nursing school. I'm required to do 120 hours during the month of April and if I don't complete these hours, I wont graduate next month. I've got 4 more days to go and then the hours will be done. I hope I make it that long. I'm severely dehydrated. I can't keep anything down without becoming nauseous and dry heaving since surgery. Plus I've had diarrhea, which isn't helping. I know I need to go back to the doctor but I'm so concerned about gettting these hours done and graduating nursing school. My husband and family are very concerned but they know that I'm adamant about finishing. I have to work a 12 hour shift tomorrow night and then I have 3 days off before I finish my last 3 days of the school hours I need. I'm hoping I can go to the infusion center during those 3 days off to get fluids to get me well enough to finish the 3 days. I'm taking pain medication while I"m at home but I can't take it here at the hospital because it makes me too drowsy. I often wonder if this whole thing was a mistake. I'm so tired of being sick and weak. I wasn't even this bad off at my highest weight.  I hope one day I can look back on this and say, "yeah it sucked but it's totally worth it today."

Yesterday was crazy.  Our paycheck never showed up nor did our boss. She has the key to open the mailbox even if our checks did show up. Found out the accountant never sent them.  So now I am like no gas in the car and no money to get it.  So hopefully I will be contacted late this morning saying the checks have arrived.

There are several events I could go to today.  I may cop out on all of them and just stay home.  Since hubby is taking the VA job, we have to approach the landlord and find out how he takes this and see if he will extend our lease one month so I can get the place packed up again.  Oi.

Anyway, hopefully today will improve. Have a great day all!

Hi all,

Wow, met some awesome ladies last night at a women's Bible study.  One, is scheduled for gastric bypass surgery next month.  It made me happy to see that she wants to come to support group.  I also got a call from my co-worker and she convinced the owner to let me work a few hours today and tomorrow.  I just need gas money!!  Oh well.  Hopefully, someone will let me borrow a little.  Anyway, I have lots to do today.

What are you up to?

Hi Paula,

I hope that things work out for you, whether it is here or in VA. Like you I find myself trying to figure out the lesson I'm supposed to be learning. 

Wishing you and your husband all the best, no matter how things unfold.
