I had a great doctor's appoinment yesterday! I know this seems crazy, doctors and the word great just don't go together.
I decided to switch docs inside the practice I have gone to for about 15 years. The doc I was seeing I wasn't even actually getting to see and was only talking and seeing the nurse. Who by the way has a HUGE bug up her butt! Any who, I switched yesterday to another doctor who also happens to be a really good family friend.
He is such a great doctor! He took over an hour with me reviewing all my symptoms, tests, labs etc. He actually thinks he knows why I am having so much pain. So I am headed in to the hospital on Thursday for an upper GI scope. I still have my appointment next week with the surgeon but my new doctor really doesn't think I will need surgery and I will be totally healthy again in time for the wedding and the move! YIPPY!!
Other than the doctor appointment I had Bunko last night. It was fun to have everyone so excited for the wedding and the new adventure I will be starting with P in July! Also go some good recommendations for flowers.

When it rains it pours
This weekend was a crazy crazy weekend.
It all started on Thursday morning when I noticed my shower wouldn't drain. This lead to me discovering the basement was flooded, which lead to my mom having to have MAJOR plumbing work done. Some where along the day there was a geyser of crap that came up my shower drain. Fun times cleaning after work.
Friday morning I walk into the kitchen and shut the back hall door. A wine rack that was holding 6 bottles of wine and 10+ glasses fell off the wall and broke everywhere!
Friday I went and did some Christmas shopping and helped Kelly from work look for some outfits for her engagement pictures. When I got home I was going to relax, have dinner and do laundry. Then the washer broke. Full of my laundry and water!
Friday night I started having stomach pains again. I took some TUMS chatted with P and tried to relax. It was a restless night and finally gave in to the pain and got up early. I talked with my mom and she thought I was having Gall Bladder issues. She convinced me to go to the ER. So I had a bunch of tests and an ultrasound. They told me I had a large gallstone and needed surgery within the month. Then came back in the room 15 minutes later saying "Opps you don't have a gallstone"!! Very confusing especially due to the heavy drugs they gave me. In the end they said I have gastritis, which is basically inflammation of the inside of your stomach.
I got nothing done I had planned on Saturday since we were at the ER for several hours and then I slept ALL. DAY. LONG! I have tried eating twice since I have gotten home and it has been a VERY painful experience. I plan on calling a GI specialist this week.
P was so supportive and sweet though it. Of course reminding me to worry about being healthy not about getting stuff done for Christmas. I am so lucky to have him.
This week will have lots going on including my first trip to a laundry mat in about 5 years! YIPPEE!!!
