OK I know in my post earlier this month I said I was sick and just could not get to feeling better, well funny story. A few nights before my parents got here I was running around cleaning the house getting the shopping done, trying to get all the projects in their home finished are ready for them to come home. I was feeling really sick all week and was not doing a very good job at getting things done. Which for everyone that knows me knows that this is not like me at all. I have been feeling sick for a month and it just wasn't going away, I was tried of it, and Lynn and the kids where tired of it. I came home on the Thursday before my parents where going to be here. My sister Pam was getting the BBQ turkey ready for their homecoming, and I walked in the kitchen and laid on the floor. I was ready to pass out, she said, "are you ok". I said "no I have been so sick and I just can't get over it". She asked, "what is wrong". I said "I have heart burn but not like reflex and whenever I eat it hurts so bad, so I have stopped eating, I just eat bread and crackers. But that's not what I hate the most it's my back it hurts so bad and it will not go away". She started laughing and said, "Vicki it's your gallbladder, I bet it's so bad it needs to come out". For weeks I have been so sick and didn't want to go to the doctor, for once I listened and went the next day. It's was my gallbladder, and after a week of tests we found out it's was working at 25%. At 37% they take it out, I let it go way to long. Well after passing out a few times and throwing up a few times, last Tuesday I got it out. It was no fun and I hope I never have to have surgery again. I still can't eat much and what I do eat has to be very low fat. The one really good thing about all this is I have lost almost 17 pounds. To bad I know they will probably find me this holiday season. Well back to my parents homecoming, they where here for just two weeks before they return to their mission. I spent the two fun weeks of seeing my parents after 18 months sick and having surgery and in bed!! Now they are off for the next 15 months, with one short visit at the end of December. I wasn't really thinking great but I did get some pic's at their homecoming...
