I am okay!

I am SO sorry that I havent blogged in FOREVER, but I am totally good. I had my surgery on Monday....(last monday) and I came back to work on Friday for our annual all campus workshop.

Surgery is scary of course, but my dad and barb were both with me and took GREAT care of me. I was very thankful for that...we got to the hospital at 9:30am...I went into the room at like 10;30am and they gave me my IV and a bunch of anti-throw up meds...since I havent thrown up since 1991, I dont really want to start NOW. So, they did that and then I met with the anastegialogist (can't spell) and met with my doctor to make sure he was in a good mood. I was pretty bummed cause I wasnt allowed to KEEP MY STONES. But, he did bring out my gallbladder for my dad and step mom to see...and they took a picture, so I shall post that! :) I had about 15 pea sized gallstones...so, we were glad to get the gallbladder OUT! :)

I went in for the surgery at a little before 12pm....and was home by 4pm!!!! I did a good job and drank water and apple juice... and didnt feel sick at all- so praise the LORD!!!! My stomach is all cut up- but I am thankful cause they did the laproscopic...and there is always a chance that you can go in for laproscopic and leave with an open surgery- which is like a 7 inch scar....and there would be NO WAY I could walk down the aisle in 12 days!! :)

Jamos sent me flowers- they were on the doorstep when we got home from the hospital, my friend rachel taped a prayer and a flower on my door the morning of the surgery....all very wonderful.... and, my friends Lauren and Carrie came over on Tuesday- so did Rachel and Jamos who was stranded in Detroit all night long the night before- then he caught a flight to CHICAGO- then to South Bend and got his car and drove back to me! That was so amazing- I am going to have a wonderful husband.

He took great care of me- helping me sit up and take care of my wounds....he cleaned the kitchen, cooked for me...it was MARVELOUS!!! :)

So, praise God. praise him... he is a good GOD.
