Fun Filled Weekend!!

All I can say about Saturday was it was FANTABULOUS...or..."Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious! If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious...SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!! LOL Love it!! :)

My sister, me, mom and my cousin Kasey

Friday night we went to one of my favorite restaurants for a friends B-Day dinner at PF Changs. I LOVE that place...Seared Tuna and Mongolian Beef...YUMMO! :)

Me & my Love

Again...I like this one better! :)

Today, we just ran errands all day. Got my car an oil change, went to pick up Danny's ring from the jewelers, went to Barnes & Nobles to look at the FABULOUS Nook I am hoping to get for my Anniversary in a couple weeks (hint, hint) and then went food shopping. Now we are just relaxing and cooking some pizza at home. Gonna watch the finale of Celebrity Apprentice in like 20 min...hope Brett Michaels wins it all!! :)

Health Update..

I know I haven't posted anything lately but honestly I haven't been in the mood to and the darn Internet at the hospital is so slow its annoying!

Today was 2 weeks from the time I was admitted from the ER. There isn't any more pain in my stomach (thank goodness) so now I am working on getting the old lungs up to speed so I can feel better and go home.

So, the 2 test I had on my stomach came back and they think they have the problems narrowed down.

The first one was to see if my gallbladder contracted like it was supposed. Well shock of all shockers mine is "dysfunctional." They do some sort of calculations to see if your gallbladder contracts like its supposed to with 30% or higher being considered "normal." Mine is 25% so its not that bad that I need to risk surgery.

The 2nd test I had to eat scrambled eggs that had contrast in it and then lay under a camera for two hours so they could watch my food being digested. What they found out is that my stomach was emptying to slow and that's what was causing my pain (they're pretty sure)
so they gave me Reglan via IV while I was still under the camera and my stomach emptied right away. Reglan increases muscle contractions in the upper digestive tract increasing the rate at which the stomach empties into the intestines. So now they have me taking it by mouth 30 min before I eat lunch and dinner. I haven't had any pain since late last week so I'm glad for that.

As for my lungs my Dr just switched one of my abx yesterday and started me on 50mg of prednisone so I am sure I will be feeling up to par soon. I am most likely going home Tuesday so I will be home for my bday but will probably be going home with one last week of IV's.

OK well I am gonna go try and find something to watch on TV...I just finished ALL 3 seasons of Mad Men and now I have to watch normal television again! Thanks Sara for recommending it to me I LOVED it and I am going to have my mom watch it next!

Interview!!

Here it is...as you can probably tell I was SUPER nervous! I wanted to do the interview without O2 also so I was not only nervous but a little short of breath too. All in all I think it turned out really well. Hope you like it! :)

Last few days...

So Tuesday was my birthday and it was great. I went to pulmonary rehab in the morning, went to lunch and a movie with Karen in the afternoon (got a gift card to get a pedicure, thanks Karen!) and went to dinner at PF Changs that night.

Bride Wars was AWESOME....I laughed so hard and yes cried too. I cry a lot during movies...but Karen was crying too so I know it wasn't just me! :) That is definitely a movie I will want to buy and add to our collection when it comes out.

Yesterday during the day all I did was work! I used to work a few hours everyday but with pulmonary rehab taking up a big chunk of my mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am finding myself working only on M,W and F so I have to work almost all day to get in all my hours. Oh well. At least I work for an awesome company that allows me to be flexible like that!

Last night while we ate dinner we watched Taken, yes I know its still in theaters but my brother-in-law had it somehow so we borrowed it...let me tell you it was GOOD. I was on the edge of my couch the entire time! I don't want to give away any of the movie explaining it so just take my word and see it, I know you will like it.



BTW....does anybody watch American Idol? Is there anybody anyone has noticed in particular that you think will do well this season? I am just thankful they got rid of bikini girl last night, I wasn't sure if I could take anymore of her! :)

Oh yeah, I have my ultrasound tomorrow morning at 8. I am still having stomach pains so lets hope it has nothing to do with my gallbladder! I will let you know as soon as I know.....later gator.

90210

So does anybody else watch the new 90210 on the CW?? I do and I LOVE it!! I loved the original and was skeptical when they talked about bringing it back but I am hooked. If you haven't already you should check it out...Tuesday nights at 8:00pm est. ;)
