Back from Belgium



I had another attack of the killer stomach pains yesterday - lasted about 12 hours, so I'll be calling the doc on Monday morning, and cancelling a business trip (in the US) for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Happy Sunday!

We vacationed a few days in Belgium 1 1/2 years ago. My favorite splurge was the Belgium waffles with the ice cream and fresh strawberries on top then drizzled with chocolate syrup! We brought chocolates home to the kids - can't believe we made it home without eating them but we did.
Gallbladder pain - nothing like it UGH. I remember hanging off my bed with my head to the floor because someone told me to stand on my head (yeah right) so I tried to hang off my bed. The idea was that if it were a gallstone with gravity it might move and lessen the pain. Did it work? Nope. But it was definately worth the try. Hope you get it taken care of soon.

I LOVE Belgium...spend a year there back in 1983-84. Lived in a tiny town called Cambron Casteau where there is an Abbey. Since there was not any on base housing for us in the area, we lived on the economy. I actually had an apt (house) on the Abbey grounds in the area near the stables...they converted an area into about 8 homes there.
In the building behind the white one that is in the center...those were the apartments: I saw that white building out my front door.
