A little set back

Today is post op day 8. I am still not feeling well. Thu after the surgery I called the Dr. to ask about my pain meds because they didn't not seem to be helping. The RN told me that he would not call in anything stronger and if I needed to I could come in. On Friday I felt a little better but still had awkward pain. On Sat. I got out of the house, and that night was in horrible pain and also very very sick. I couldn't keep anything down. I am so thankful my sister was here in town to help me out. Sunday and Monday I still had pain and was very Blah feeling. On Tue. I called the Dr. and they made an appointment for me to come in that afternoon. I expressed concern to the Dr. that its been 6 days I thought I would be feeling a whole lot better, like I never even had the surgery. He said that yes I should be feeling better, and I shouldn't have the pain I was having. I was feeling like my gallbladder had never even been removed. I hear a lot of people say they felt immediately better afterwards, not this girl. The Dr. told me that he believes what happened is that 1 when the gallbladder was removed some of the bile spilled out and is in my system, and just needs to work out. He believes this is the situation because I was not sick anymore or had the nausea feeling. OR 2 that there is a leak and the bile is leaking. To fix that would be another surgery and a stint being placed. He told me to go home stay on pain meds, lay down, and drink plenty of fluid to wash it out. If I was not feeling better the fallowing day then give him a call and they would schedule me for a nuclear test called a HIDA scan. I waited a day to see if it all would pass over. Well this morning I am still hurting, so I called and spoke to the RN, they scheduled me to the test tomorrow morning. They couldn't get me in today because I had already ate. So tomorrow I will have the test. I don't know if I want it to show that I have a leak or not. If it does that means that's the source of my pain, and if it doesn't means.... I have no clue that it will mean. I know I don't have a high tolerance for pain but I should be feeling 100% by now.

As far as everything else going in our life, I registered Connor for 4K! I don't know if he will get in, they will do screening at the end of May. They test the kids to get in, they take the kids that need more help. I don't know if he will get in or not because he is very smart when he wants to be. I hope he does, it would save me a small bundle that I am paying for daycare. I can not believe he is going to be 4 in exactly 2 months! Time truly does fly. Of course I am already on the ball gathering up ideas for his party. I truly thing I missed my calling in the party planning business.

We have being struggling with his behavior at school, past 3 weeks he has come home with a "Oh - No Report" from school. One of the days I think it was because he was tired. The night before he was up for 4 hours in the middle of the night, playing and watching a movie, just like he use to wake up. Ive been trying a couple different things so he wont wake up and stay up. This week is so far so good. I told him if he was good this whole week then we would do something fun this weekend. This morning he requested chuckie cheese... I don't think I am feeling that but I was thinking something outside maybe Sunday cause I heard its going to be in the 60's. Hopefully he will be good today and tomorrow. He says he doesn't like school and sometimes its hard to get him to go and then when we get there hes acts all sad. I don't want it to be a fight like it was for me from 3rd grade on. I want him to like school, and do well in it so he can go to college and get a good job. Ideas and suggestions are welcomed for me to get him liking about school.

  1. Oh goodness honey..I hope everything ends up fine! I will be praying for you! Draven loved school last year, but this year not so much. IDK why? We do have little talks about why school is important and that he will be in school a long time and will meet all kinds of new friends to play with. He will be in Kindergarten next year so maybe he will like it better...I hope at least! Good luck with Connor and keep me updated about the gallbladder!
