I've been in pain for a while. As of Tuesday, the pain got so bad that I could not bear it. I had a few extra symptoms so my doctor was going to send me home and treat it as a parasite. I think he's been watching a little too much "House." By the time Wednesday afternoon rolled around, I was in so much pai I couldn't breathe. Since Easter, I haven't had an appetite, I been nauseated, and I've lost 20 pounds, and that's on top of the severe abdominal pain. After my two morning classes I went back to the doctor and he decided that he'd put me in the hospital and have me see a surgeon, because he'd finally came to the conclusion that it was my gallbladder. Smart, huh? I'd had this figured out for days. They removed it Laparoscopicly about mid-Thursday morning and they were letting me go by mid-morning Friday. I'm still in a lot of pain in the incision sites, but other than that, I feel fine. At first the doctor said that I couldn't go back to school until Friday, but negotiated with him we agreed on Wednesday, as long as I only lifted one of my books at a time. (No more than 20lbs.) So, things are great, oh, except for when my cat, Zoie, jumped up in the middle of my stomach, while I was sleeping. It felt as if the sites had been ripped open again. Needless to say, I was in some major pain. I'm telling you, this semester just isn't my best. Everything that can happen to me is trying to. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do about all of my notes and stuff. Love Y'all!!!

I wish you well on your recovery! I know how the "Pet Pain" feels! I have two Jack Russels who love to run around the house at 80 miles an hour and then find me and jump on me. I think that is the second worst pain in the world! (The first being getting sick during a chemo treatment two days after the surgery to remove the tumor.) Don't hurry back to normal activities, I did and regreted it. You're on medical leave, make sure you're well first.
JessicaGood Luck and God Bless! My prayers are with you!
