Things are crazy here.
I had surgery on Thursday, and it ended up being far more painful and horrible than I imagined. I made a serious mistake in judgment not to have any help lined up. AND, I don't think the doctor actually got the stones [it still hurts like heck and it shouldn't hurt at this point if he was successful]. So, it looks like it was all in vain.
I'm trying to be thankful and consider it "an opportunity to offer up" on behalf of several special people who are in need of prayers right now, and I'm mostly succeeding at it. Also feeling a wee bit sorry for myself though. LOL!
Otherwise things are great. The 5 surviving chickens are thriving in their now dog-proof house. [My husband re-enforced the whole thing with MDF! No dog alive is chewing through THAT! LOL!]
The kids are doing well and we've enjoyed a week of DH being off on 'vacation'. Aside from me having surgery, we also managed to go to Fernbank science museum on Tuesday [which was a blast, I'll post pics later maybe] and then we went to see "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie" on Wednesday and that was SUPER fun - highly recommended!
All in all a good week, pain and vomiting aside. ;)

Kelly,
That's so hard when you are supposed to feel better and you don't. Maybe you're a slow healer?? Can they test to see if all the stones are gone? I will pray that you get some relief soon.
Patience
I hope you can talk with your Doc on MOnday and confirm if this means there are still stones! UGH! So sorry! Keep us posted!
Aaaaaahhhhkkkk! I know what you mean about the "offer it up" thing. I had a horrible thrush infection and every time I nursed it was the most horrific pain of my life. I sat there, cried, cringed and thought, "HEY! I'll offer it up!" for a while but then, when it got absolutely unbearable, I asked God, the saints, and all the angels to pleeeeeeaaaase grab someone else's "offer it up" so I could have some relief! It worked but it was hard-won, that's for sure! I really hope you feel better soon. I will offer my hour in adoration for you tonight (midnight, central time...feel my prayers!).
did they do something other than lithotripsy??
How are you feeling now Kelly? Did they get the stones?
I hope you're doing better! All healed up and no more health crisis for a really long time. Maybe never ever again.
God Bless Kelly!
