Unexpected

I just wanted to let you know what's going on. Last Wednesday night my lower left back pain became so severe that I couldn't walk. I made an appointment to see a Dr the next day and was admitted straight into the hospital for a DVT, more commonly known as blood clots. Things went smoothly and I was released the next day.

Tuesday morning I woke again with slight shooting pain when I breathed. So back to the ER we went. Which brings us to today. I have one more day to be here before they release me. The pain I was having was from two pulmonary embuli that were lodged in the outter layers of my lungs. They are really small and the Dr said that my lungs are so large that it really isn't a big concern.

SO. This is why I haven't blogged lately (though I have three new posts in my head!). Everything is fine. We are doing great. And they have me on morphine. All I can say about that drug is, I have NO idea why people get addicted to that drug. I HATE it! But it takes the pain away. And so I am okay. And my daughters are loving playing with cousins and grandma and grandpa every day. So all is well. But it was just not the week I had planned. We will keep you posted :)

Oh scary! I'm glad you're ok.

BTW I love Beauty and the Beast as well and have been asking for it. :)
