so darlin, you tiny little person, how'd it go????? happy anniversary!!!!

Funny you should ask. I spent my 1 year in the ER. It was actually pretty lucky.
Thursday we went to the city spent part of the day at DH's old job (where I conveniently met a potential illustrator for my kid's book)
We went to lunch at some mexican chain called Chipotles and remember the strange waist pain I had? After 4 bites rife with MSG I started getting pain by 3:45 it was full blown. We got to the doc office i couldn't even stand to get into the bathroom. I was having a gall bladder attack.
Some ER Time and a CT scan later They found My small intestines were bunched up high. Long story short I had adhesions. They were cut out yesterday and I came home last night. I think it was fate I had the pain on the way to the doc and probably would have chalked it up to gas again if I had been at home.
It was definitely exciting! I'm sure I'll be having a follow up soon!

Take care, Kier! I'm glad you got the medical treatment you need. Now, just heal, girl!

well good grief!!!! no wonder you've been having problems eating!!! so glad you're out and WELL!!!!!!!

Well as we were heading to the ER i said to DH. . .Leave it to me to keep life exciting! I'm definitely focussing more now On staying well (or getting back there) and making sure I have all that's necessary to help me function through the day!
this process is supposed to be about reclaiming health and functionality. I think my intestinal twistage was definitely setting off some other systems in my body so hopefully now that I'm back remapped correctly I can work on feeling good and having energy again!
three funny things that i knew I was going to be ok when I was in the hospital
1 as you all know my name is Kieran. First one of my doc's surgical residents to come up to me Her name is Ciara (the female version of my name <Tho I'm female>)
2 One of my best friends is an MD PHD student (I love smart peeps) she's from Russia. I'm in the pre-op waiting area one of the nurses came over not only did she sound like Alex she looked liked her and was from the same part of Russia (greater russian/formersoviet area) that Alex was from!
Suddenly I wasn't so terrified
3 and I'm on the table in the OR and ppl are showing me baby pics on their phones and I'm telling a new grandma how to email herself the pics of her beautiful Grandbaby!
As a general rule bad things don't happen when you're looking at baby pics they just don't!
I try to look at obstacles as gifts.
Granted. . . I feel like absolute poop on a stick. But *knock on wood* I'm fixed.
I feel really positive for whatever is to come! Bring on year 2!!
