Frustrated!

So, I went to the GI doctor last Thursday and they did blood test and then Friday I had the upper GI series. So why is it that I have been calling them everyday since Tuesday and still don't have my results. The frustrating thing is the nurse said they were ON his DESK on Tuesday evening. So I called Wednesday and Thursday and she says he still hasn't looked at them. And now its the evening on Friday and still NO phone call. Sheesh. I mean the bad part is I know there back but I cant know what they say. Geez.
This makes me think of the office where I work at. Im glad that we have a system where we tell the patient we will call them in 7-10 days and that we call them either way with the results. But at the doctors office I just went to doesn't let you know how long it takes or if they will call you either way. Then I also like the way we schedule follow ups right when the patient leaves usually. But the past few offices Ive been to don't think of the until you ask it seems. Now I feel like a crazy patient bugging the nurses everyday. Its weird being on the other side.
Also, I had a cough today and was told to leave work. Now, I see where their coming from with all of this H1N1 going around. However, I was frustrated because I needed to work and its annoying because I just feel its a cough. Im glad though they do take precautions though. But the crazy thing is that when I worked in the hospital, I could practically be walking around with pnemonia and they still would let you work.
This is my soap box for the day.

Fun with Family

We have had a great few days. Charlie, Nicole, and little Charles came up to spend a couple of days with us. We had plans for several months to go camping and canoeing. Unfortunately, it rained the whole week and the camp ground was under water. We were going to go canoeing still but to make a long story short, the waters were to rough and high for Charles to go. It was so sad.
So yesterday we went a an arcade and putt putt golf place near Opry Mills. We all played putt putt and of course Adam was the winner. I was in last :(. Then we played arcade games. Charlie dominated in air hockey. Charles was so cute playing golf. He had no clue how to hold to club but didn't want any help ha. He also got the tickets we won from the arcade and got to pick out some little toys, I think it was a lizard and a frog.
We played Phase Ten at night several times and I won every time. I was thinking because everything we did because Nicole said she never one anything and I finally figured out while we both were playing Ski Ball she made a whole lot more points than me and she was trying to contain Charles. So see Nicole you did win something.
It was so sad to see them leave. I miss having people here.

Wicked! Florida!

So this week has had its good and bad moments.
Monday and Tuesday were work as usual, nothing special.
Wednesday I got the morning off so was glad to sleep in. That afternoon work was steady especially since one of our docs is out on maternity leave. But that evening after work Sarah and I went to get manicures after work. We have decided to do this once monthly. It funny because this place is nice and if you come with a friend you get seated with them and they give you a drink and everything. Sarah and I spent forever picking out our colors, I think they got frustrated with us. :) Then we both got a coke and soon realized why we bothered because how are you supposed to drink while getting a manicure. Anyways, this was our second time going and it seems like the two people who are doing our nails are always in a race with eachother. For some reason Sarah always beats me. Sheesh.
Thursday was my day off. I went and got Subway for lunch and it was down hill from there. How does someone get sick off of Subway. My body is so confused. This sickness lasted all day. I had my first GI doc appt. that afternoon. All I could think about was it would be sad if I had to miss my GI appt bc of my GI problems. Sheesh again. Well I sucked it up and made it there. Luckily Adam was able to go with me. This guy was so good compared to my last failure of a GI doc. He actually is running test. He took some blood to look for certain disorders. Then he set me up for an upper GI series. All I hope is that they find something.
Well that evening I was still SO sick and guess what, it was the night my work was taking us to WICKED. Well, I managed to suck it up and go. It was such and awesome show, I'm glad I went. You seriously will never think of Wizard of Oz the same again. I almost am hesitant to ever watch that movie again bc it just wont be the same haha. But the cast was very talented and sure could sing. I loved it. Im just sad Adam wasn't with me. He had a man date over at Busters house though and they played Playstation and ate wings. haha.
Well, Friday I woke up not feeling any better and had to go get this Upper GI test done. My nice mom was so kind to come take me. Only did she know that she would be getting to enjoy me getting tortured. I had to drink this nasty Barium stuff that was the consistency of chalk so they could better see my insides on the xrays. We were there for 3 or 4 hours and it was no fun. This stuff only made me feel worse. It was awful that whole day. We had plans with our neighbors for that night but there was no way, I just stayed and laid on the couch.
Saturday, Poor Adam had to do all of the grocery shopping. We did enjoy the Florida vs Tennessee game though. Of course im sure everyone knows we are Florida fans. We expected them to do better than they did but at least they one. I miss Percy Harvin. We had Katy and Buster over after that we watched a movie. I wasn't feeling to well and had to take medicine so I actually slept through the whole movie. I'm such a great hostess.
Today, still not so well but im just over it. My excitement for Charlie, Nicole, and Charles coming today is making me pull myself somewhat together. Im trying to feel better so I can enjoy camping and canoeing tomorrow. I'm so so excited to see little Charles.

Im Back!

Wow! So yeah it has been a long time since I have wrote. Hmm... since March im sure a lot has happened but I will just mention of few things of importance.
We moved into our house and have met some great neighbors. Buster and Katy have become some of our closed friends. We met them at a neighborhood gathering before moving into our house and Adam happens to go to church with them as well. We have enjoyed getting to know them. Lately we have been enjoying games even though for some reason they always beat us. Adam has even been running almost every night with Buster. Ive walked once :/ .
Adam and I also celebrated our one year anniversary. We went to the Melting Pot that night. So Yummy. I also got some pretty flowers. Our cake also still tasted pretty good. Mom did a great job at storing it.
We had a lovely trip to Texas. It was so good to see the family. I wish we could see them more often. We had a nice time a huge water park. It was a Six Flags one called Hurricane Harbor. I even drug my poor aunt there who had just had surgery. But hey, she had a great time even if she was sore the next day. I love you Laura hehe. We also went to the StockYards. I love it there and its nice shops. Even though it was scorching hot we had a nice time with everyone.
While we were there we also went to see some nice friends that used to live here. We miss Nathan...ohh and I mean Nicole and Jake too hehe. (Nathan is their baby.) I think all we did mainly with them was eat...a hot dog place, cup cakes, and Italian. Geez thanks Nicole haha. It was sad saying goodbye to everyone.
We also stayed with Charlie and Nicole before and after. I love going to see them and Im looking forward to our camping trip. Adam and I just bought a tent to go camping. We are also excited to go canoeing and seeing how Charles enjoys it.
I am also getting to go see "Wicked" with my work on September 17th. They are so sweet to take everyone. Adam is a little sad he cant go. I am still enjoying my job and have made some good friends.
Some unfortunate news. Well as my last blog said I had my gallbladder out. I had a tough time recovering from it. Unfortunately, I really don't think it helped. Bummer. Well I had sworn off doctors for a long time bc I was so frustrated. Well I finally went to my OBGYN and she believes that I have endometriosis. With all my symptoms she thinks they correlate. Therefore the only confirmation would be to have another surgery. I'm having surgery on October 16th which includes a laproscopy, hysteroscopy, and E&D. She also wants me to consider a drug called Lupron. This medication simply freaks me out though. It basically tricks your brain into think you body is in menopause. Therefore you get all of the symptoms of menopause. The other scary thing is that they use it in prostate cancer patients because it is a derivative of a chemotherapy medication. I told her I don't think im on board with it. I guess will make sure I actually have this disease first. This may sound crazy but I really hope they find something. I almost dont care what but I just have forgotten what feeling good feels like. I feel like a burden half the time because I just feel sick. I want to feel healthy again and know what the heck is wrong with me. They are also sending me to a GI doctor for a colonoscopy to make sure everything is okay there. Im just scared that at the end of all this I still be right where I started. That is literally an awful feeling that they wont find anything.
I still have a lot to look forward to over the next few months as well. Im looking forward to mom comming down this weekend! Izzie is still as cute as ever except for her barking. She has even taken to Buster and Katy pretty well. And shes super excited to see Charles soon.
I will also try to write more in here as well!!!
