Angee update

I know most of you check this blog to see how Severin is doing. Some of you may be wondering "what is Ang doing?" so here is a run down of my week. Monday I had another one of those really bad gas pains. Like the one I had when I was pregnant. I've been having these more the past two weeks, but I'm a gasey gal so it would usually, well, pass. Monday it did not so I made a Dr. appointment on Tuesday. I wanted to make sure I was not contagious, and get a better antiacid. I do not have time for it to be anything else. Labs say I am not contagious-great- but I have "clotting factors" which could be from having a baby or it could be blood clots in my lungs. What the...blood clots? Off to UVRMC for a CT scan. The contrast blew out my vein, ouch! son of a... I had a cute puffy Popeye arm but no blood clots-great. Dr said maybe gall bladder- I do not have time for gall bladder, but we'll see when more labs come back tomorrow. Weds was a PCMC day with Severin a good one at that! Dr. calls when I get home and asks how I am, I said a little pain still but ok. He tells me I am more sick then I think I am. What? Lab work shows pancreatitus and decreased liver function. I need to get my gall bladder out ASAP. Seriously what the H.... This does NOT work with my schedule. I was admitted on Thursday night, for surgery in the morning. Friday was NSP Lagoon day. My kids have had such a crappy summer and they have been looking forward to Lagoon, I was NOT going to let them miss out just because of my stupid gall bladder! I made Thom take them. My parents came to the hospital with me. Severin was left in the very capable hands of his Auntie Teresa. Before surgery I was cracking jokes and chating with everyone, like I do. My Surgeon thought I had already been given a dose of versed, no this is my regular funniness. He was probably glad to get me knocked out. Surgery went well. I had hundreds of stones in my gall bladder- we have a picture- yuck! The pancreas and liver looked good. Afterwards I slept while my parents watched, super boring I'm sure. I came home Friday night. Teresa brought Severin home, it was really sad to come home and not have my babies there. My parents hung out until my neighbor and friend, Megan came over to babysit us. It sucks now Severin and I both need a babysitter. Megan stayed through the night, getting up with Severin and giving me my pain meds on a schedule. What a TRUE friend! Thank you Megan. Thom and the kids have went to do my cleaning gig this morning. I'm feeling pretty good, like I did too many sit-ups. My parents will be here shortly to babysit us again. So many angels and the words "thank you" just do not seem to be enough. Thank-you!!!! And moral of this story -there is no such thing as a constipated fart, it's probably something else. All my Love!
