MIA


Well, I've been MIA for a bit! I started have insane stomach pain a few weeks ago and finally the pain got so bad that Hubby packed up Rowyn and I in the middle of the night and off to the ER we went. 15 hours later we were still in the damn ER and all they told me was to come back in 2 weeks for more bloodwork even though they were sure I had gall stones and that one was blocking my bile duct. Thanks Doc. Since I was still in an absurd amount of pain, to the point it hurt to nurse the baby, my mom came and took me to my hometown (2.5hours away) to see my family doctor. He gave me a rec for bloodwork and sent me to get some tests done and see about getting the blockage removed. As soon as the doctor at that ER looked at me he told me I looked yellow nd jaundice from my bilirubin level being high because of the blockage! However the only place where there was a doctor who could remove the blockage was,of course, at the hospital who left me in a room for 15 hours then did nothing!! Good Lord!

Anyway back I came and got the stone removed from my bile duct yesterday, yay! My throat is sore from the scope and my insides hurt a little from them fishing around to remove the stone but hopefully soon i'll be back to normal! Oh the best part is, is that I still have gall stones in my gallbladder and just hope that they don't cause another blockage before they can get me in to get my gallbladder removed! and who the hell knows when that'll be! BAH I hate our healthcare sometimes!

WW wise, I lost another 2 lbs this week (I went to my WI on the way to the hospital yesterday lol) I think I expected a little more since I couldn't eat much other than ceral the past 5 days! but then again I was fasting, so I'd imagine my body was hanging on to everything it could! Rowyn's been a little off lately as well because of my poor diet and meds i've been on, can't wait till we're all back to normal!!
