I was going to catch up today, I got up feeling a wee bit better I thought, but the screen won't be still.  I am having the worst nausea/vertigo I can remember ever having. I am hoping it is just meds making me sick, it is some very strong stuff they have given me. I sleep in two hour runs at a time. My backside is getting plumb sore from it honestly.

Haven't heard from the docs yet about when to see the specialist about colon resection. My gp thinks I may want to do "elective colon resection".  I get limp at the thought of it. I guess the thought it that if I keep having bouts of diverticulitis it is only going to get worse each time and eventually will perferate my colon. Suxxors to be me.

I have either become the biggest wimp known to woman, or I have just suffered through a horrendously painful weekend. Now I like to think I am tough, I gave birth all three times naturally (though none were supposed to be they just ended up that way). I wait until an abcessed tooth has swollen my entire face into incredible hulk form. And I lived with gall stones and gall stone attacks for a year before I would have that surgery. <sigh> So I have never really thought of myself as a pain wimp, I'm a pretty tough cookie...or WAS that is.

This weekend in the ER they asked the usual question of "on a scale of 1 to 10 where would you rate your pain?" Now I for one think this is a stupid way to measure someone's pain but in reality what else has 'modern' medicine got really? I generally suck it up and have never given an answer more than a 6 in my life. Saturday I blurted "10" without a seconds thought. The doc looked kind of surprised, but I just didn't care. I had been so sick for the previous 12 hours that just no more was tolerable. I wanted to roll around and blubber frankly. So there, I was a "10". Probably the only time in my life I will ever be a "10" and definately not the kind of "10" I wanted to be. =/

I think since my surgery everything seems to hurt more, like it is magnified or something. Maybe that is lupus talking, arrrrgghhh.....I don't know and really don't even care. I just want to feel better. Ok someone call me a wha-a-a-amublance would ya?! Yeah right after you pass me the cheese....damnit nevermind they said no dairy. =P

Anyway, a couple of things to say before I have to call it, my innards are churning faster than I can type. 

Kelly, I think you will love going to the gym!! I loved it when I was going. It is very refreshing and just plain old feels good!! Glad you are losing weight too as long as that is what you want to be doing. =)

JP, I can never walk into a furniture store again and not try to visualize whether the employees have as much fun as you or not. ;) I suspect not.

Kak, just a quick note to let you know that John did get your birthday gift. Absolutely adorable!!!! I noticed he has it sitting right next to his computer. He was supposed to drop you a thank you and you may get it yet. He is gone to orchestra camp this week so I can't ask him if he got it done or not. Boys. =P  Anyway just wanted you to know he loved the gift!!

Neecie.....YAY!!! is there really anything else to say!

Loretta, Vicki I know you gals are busy with your mini-mees hehe!

Oh and last note, John made first chair at camp!! His little bright light can shine on the worst of days. =)

Hugs,

Ami
