Best Laid Plans

Ever heard the phrase best laid plans can go astray?

That is certainly what happened to me this weekend. 

 Thursday, Thanksgiving went off without a hitch. 

 Made dinner and all was well.  

Then I went to bed. 

 I woke up around 3am with a stomach ache, you know the one.  

Where you know you ate too much and now you are paying for it right?  

So I ate some Tums, and drank some water and tried to go back to sleep.  

It soon became clear to me that was not going to happen. 

 I just felt worse and worse.

 I took 3 hot showers, got out the heating pad to no avail. 

 I was super nauseated and won't go into more detail about THAT! 

We were supposed to go to Grand Rapids to see my dad and sister 

but it was clear that was not happening either. 

I finally got up and moped around for awhile before deciding to call the doctor. 

 The on call doctor told me I had to go to the ER. 

 told hubby I really felt like I needed to go and we were there by 11am.  

I was whisked off for an ultrasound and then another test that involved radioactive dye and morphine

 and was told that I had gallstones blocking my bile duct that had inflamed my gall bladder

 and that it would have to be removed right now! 

 I went in to surgery at around 7:30pm Friday night and they operated on me and took out my gall bladder!  They did it laproscopically so only 4 holes!!!  

OUCHIE. 

It doesn't sound like much but I am really sore now. 

 When I got to my room my son and hubby were there and they had written on the white board.

JIC you can't read it it says "goals for discharge"

as well as Anticipated date

Sam and Dean (the men from Supernatural)

HAHA gotta love my boys, they knew how to make me laugh!

So I spent the night in the hospital. 

 That was fun! 

I finally got to eat something on Sat morning. 

 Hospital breakfast and boy was I happy to have that, even though I couldn't eat much.

I went home Saturday morning but was out of it most of the day due to the medication they had me on.

I don't like how I feel on that so I only took Motrin for the night and all day today. 

 I'm still pretty sore and my belly is really tender but I feel more like myself. 

Hubby went off to DD1's farm to work on the chicken coop today and

I got to just hang out with the cats all day. 

I paid the bills and got my dad and sister's bills done too. 

 Then look what else I managed to do this afternoon.

I got all my squares cut for the Tula Pink swap.  

Plus Judith's and Cilvee's too!

Most of the day though I hung out with one of these guys.  

Doing just what she is doing, being lazy!

  

Anyway, that's what happened around my house over the Thanksgiving break.

I hope yours was somewhat less eventful!
