Can you believe my luck???

Ok...so I offically had a crappy week!!! And I am not sad its coming to an end LOL. On Monday night about midnight (ok I guess that is Tuesday huh?) I woke up and started feeling yucky. Didnt sleep at all that night. Was walking around, messing on the computer to try and take my mind off of my stomach..to no avail. About 9am ish..I was really hurting..and by now I was figuring it was yet another gallbladder attack. Those sweet things!!! UGH. So about 11am I am wanting to literally just die it was hurting so bad. I have had 3 babies and would gladly do those all over again with no epidurals if I didnt have to do that stinkin gallbladder pain. Nothing compares to it!! So I call Tim about that time (he is at work) to take me to the ER. I just had a feeling something was really wrong. Cause they do suck everytime you have them, but they managed to go away after a really long night and this time it just wasnt and the pain was getting worse.
So Tim's sister, Ashley, poor thing. Drove me to the hospital, with me literally crying and just rolling back and forth in such pain that I wasnt breathing so well by the time we finally got there. Poor girl heard one too many cuss words on that trip. Couldnt help it though.
They take me back immeditally. I have to say the ER staff and did a great job with me. They did their best to me taken care of fast!!! They did an ultrasound (and that is just weird to have and not see a baby in there LOL). Confirmed the gallstones. Did bloodwork. All that jazz. Got me some pain meds!!! Hallaulla!! I could swear I heard the choir singing.
The surgical doc came and talked to us (well not so much me..cause I well pretty well dopey by that time LOL). Said my gallbladder was too infected to even operate, and had to wait until the next day..he wanted me upstairs pronto and pumped full of antibiotics!!
Sooo Wednesday afternoon..they took me back and took that aweful thing out!! Doc said it was horrible. It was swollen and thick from all the infection. Full of stones and all the pain was from stones what were stuck in the gallbladder's "neck" so they could pass. Or whatever it is they do. Sooo all my lab work was off. Was getting pancratitis, white count was way too high and some other #'s were off too. As well as my blood pressure was too low!! So weird.
Anyway...so it was a fun filled week at the Marley's house. Glad its over. Glad to be home. My poor kids are all out of sorts since I have been home. Especially my poor Kaity. She screams if I even attempt to look out of her sight.
But I am feeling a little better. Just feel like I have been hit by a semi in the gut is all now!! LOL Anyway..just thought I would share my oh so impressive luck that I have been having LOL.

Ohh and my poor husband..it is his 30th birthday today. I feel like such a shulmb (made up my own word). We werent able to get anything put together for his birthday. And it was a big one to remember too!!! So if you see him..give him crap about being old LOL. I need to figure something out for my poor man!!!

I am sorry you had to go thru that! Glad it is behind you and now you recover and get back to normal! Tell Tim Happy Birthday--he probably just loves to have you back home! Take care of yourself for awhile! :)

Oh my gosh! I had no idea all of this maddness was going on at your house! I'm so glad the doc's finally just took the gall bladder out. Hopefully now you won't have any more issues. Glad you're feeling better!

Happy Birthday Tim! 30 is still so young!!

Well, I'm glad it is over for you - I had mine out while I was pregnant with McKinley - I think we should start a club!! I can't beleive how many of us in this ward have NO gall bladder. My experience was a lot the same - I will have to tell you about it sometime. ANything I can do? seriously.

PS - I love the word Shlumb! :)

I'm so sorry, Beccka! I had mine out too when I was preg. w/Brynlee. It still to this day is the worst surgery/medical issue I've ever dealt with. I hope you are recovering quickly. That does sound like a pretty rotten week. I called Sis. Harris yesterday to see if I could bring you dinner but she said you already had food coming in. Please let me know if I can help with anything. Or tell Pam to call me if you're in need.

And cute blog there, girl!
