If you happen to be a mom, or if you happen to know a mom. you deserve to have a wonderful day today. I hope that your children and spouses treat you like the Queen that you are. You are special.
You have taken care of them, and worried unnecessarily for them every day. If they even have a sniffle, you have been there with the softest tissue and with every heart break, you have sat there with them and let them cry if that is what they wanted to do. You love them every minute of every day, no matter what.
For all that you do as a wonderful loving mom every day of the year, I truly hope that today, and every day actually, you get everything you want. If your children are of the four legged variety,
they love you every day no matter what.
I really do mean all that. I have said this every time I start a new blog post, but i need to try and get on here more often. nuf of that for this time around. A few weeks ago, my sister gave me a pair of those dollar store glasses. They worked just as good as the expensive version you get at the doctors office. I have started to use them when i got on here cus I am having a hard time reading peoples pages if the print is left at the standard size. Now i know why she buys so many of them and puts them all over the house. I have looked every where, and I cant find them anywhere. so i am squinting a lot this morning as I write this.
A while back, I think I wrote about this pain I was having in my side. I had gone tot he doc and they told me I had a small hiatle hernia, but nothing to worry about. I said ok, and figured maybe it was the hernia that was making my side hurt. I didn't know what to do about it, so i sorta lived with the pain for a while. Then, one night at work I had an attack that had me crying. it hurt so freaking bad it felt like I was being stabbed. The folks at work wanted to call the ambulance, but i said no, it should go away. it subsided, but hung out in the background and let me know all night it was still there.
My friend told me to ask my doc for a nuclear study on my gallbladder, cus she was sure that was the issue going on with me. Well, long story short, guess what. I had the test done and it came back that my gallbladder is only working 21% of normal. I went to see my doc last week and she told me we will be taking the thing out. I go on the 26 to talk tot he surgeon who will do the slicing and dicing on me. I will be off work for a while again. Don't know the dates yet, but if it stops this almost constant reminder in my side, i will be happy to get rid of this thing. its supposed to be just a few small cuts. I am going to try and really work on my ab muscles to try and make it easier for the doc and hopefully it will heal faster.
Well, my boys (John and Alex) are taking me to brunch this morning. they are still asleep. I am looking forward to it. Tomorrow we have to take Alex to the recruiters office for him to leave for basic training. I will write about that. through the tears.
For all the rest of you, have a wonderful mothers day.
I know that pain all too well! Glad to hear you can get it taken care of so quickly! Fingers crossed for your surgery! I bet you won't mind the time off work!
ReplyDeleteLeaving for basic training...wow...that time went quick! Your boy is leaving to turn into a man!
yes Amber he is. its gonna be one tear jerkin day. I wont be able to talk to him any time I want any more. that is the hardest part to get used to. they are gonna take his phone away till basic is done. he can call when they tell him he can. I hope its at least once a week.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! I hope you had a wonderful brunch!
ReplyDeleteNow, I had my gallbladder out...it was all done and I was in recovery within 45 min. I was put on restriction longer than the normal 2-3 weeks due to just having a surgery 4 weeks prior...but I was sooooo happy to have it out, less pain and less heart burn even. :)
Good luck and Im glad you went and got it looked at...HUGS!
OH...almost forgot...Good luck tomorrow! I have not taken a son to the station, but I have taken a hubby (ex now) and I cant even imagine it for you. Im sending you BIG HUGS my friend. We are all here for you!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a grand day!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I'm so sorry to hear you have to have surgery....but I'm glad to read what moonflayke said that it won't be too difficult a procedure (and Amber, sorry to hear you've apparently had the same thing - I have been told it's just excruciating). As for Alex leaving - it is going to be tough, I'm sure.....but it's definitely a good move for him - and I'm glad you got to spend this special time with him to hold you over till he's out of basic training and you can talk to him more often.
