Where I am now..well, I've had my surgery to have my gallbladder removed, that happened on April 11th and I was in the hospital for 8 days! Crazy, it was supposed to have been an out-patient procedure and it turned into a more invasive one..my gallbladder was fused to the duct and required the Dr. to open me up..owww!
I am on the mend, into the fourth week and still in pain, but it's manageable with Tylenol now instead of prescription meds..thank the Lord! My sweet hubby has been my rock..as usual..he has done his best to stay by my side and help, I couldn't have had a better nurse thru this whole thing. I love you so much babe!
I want to say Thank You to all my family and friends who prayed and visited me and encouraged me thru this, you are all so wonderful and I love you dearly. Also all the friends I connect with on Facebook, I love you mucho!
After two weeks I thought I was well enough and tough enough to handle climbing back in the truck..WRONG! I spent 5 days of very uncomfortable bouncing around and was glad to get home and rest in my own bed and couch..ahhh what a relief that was! Having not been sick very often I thought I could bounce back to normal..ahahaha. I should of listened to everyone who told me it will take about 6 weeks to heal. It's hard to chill, but I am learning to listen to my body when it needs a rest..I REST! I also discovered a compassion for others that are sick, that I didn't have before. A compassionate nurse type I wasn't.
Bruce has taken some time off the truck to be with me, and will be leaving again very soon. I am not going with him, the memories of what I endured last week are still to fresh..not sure I will ever ride along again at this point, we shall see. But I am so glad to have this much behind me, looking forward to life again without pain. My God is so good to me, I can't complain.
