Freedom Days

My holiday weekend was AWESOME! The fun and festivities all started Thursday afternoon. Originally we were planning on going camping, but that's so overrated. Instead, I thought it would be way more fun to spend the entire afternoon at Reliance Urgent Care. Then, I had so much fun there, that we thought it would be even more exciting to go to the E.R. Good Times! And since the ER was such a blast, I thought, why not just spend the night in the hospital. And while we're at it, why not throw in a little bit of last minute, unplanned surgery. I bet everyone is so jealous of the fun I had!

Then, I couldn't just have the normal outpatient surgery, and go home that afternoon like everyone else does. I had to go above and beyond the call of duty, and have complications so that I could spend the ENTIRE HOLIDAY WEEKEND in the hospital! It is now Sunday and the doctor just said I can go home! Hooray!


And, just because I know you will be curious, I had to have my gall bladder removed. It was full of stones and sludge. The complications was that some gall stones got stuck in my bile duct. So, the next week will consist of follow up appointments and tests. Hopefully the extra stones will pass on their own. If not, I'll have to have more procedures/surgery to remove the stones. So, cross your fingers that all goes well and I'm done with this place.

Thank goodness for such a wonderful family for taking such good care of my kids for the past four days!
