Wow That Hurt

On Tuesday the 13th I finally broke down around 3:00 AM and called my parents to ask for them to come out and have my dad give me a blessing, you see I was having the most horrid pain in my stomach that just would not go away. It had happen before about four times in the last year but this time it just seemed to not be getting better and I kept having a strong feeling that I needed to call someone for help. When my parents finally got there they decided I need to go to the ER so away we went. That was the longest drive ever, it took about 35 mins to get there and I had to be sitting which caused the pain to be so much worse. (I don't think I had sat down for more then a few seconds that whole night.) We finally got to the hospital were they took an ultra sound of my stomach and found that I had developed gall stones which means that my gall bladder has to come out if I don't want to go through that pain again. They put me on a special diet so that my gall bladder won't start up again which is basically I cant have any fat, most meats, eggs or dairy. It is amazing to realize how much those things are in our diets when you cant have them. If anyone has any ideas on some meals I would appreciate it, I'm finding it a little hard thinking up stuff to make. I did hear from the hospital yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for the 30th of this month. I actually cant wait for this to be over so I can get on with my life. I have lost some weight but I'm also dealing with headaches and other stomach problems associated with such a dramatic change to my diet. It might sound weird but the 30th really couldn't come to soon for me.

Fine I'll Do It

Jake and Maria told me that I needed to do another blog, when I told them nothing had changed in my life they pointed out some things to wright about, not very exiting but here it goes.

For of those of you that don't know I go to a single adult ward so because of that it takes me 15 to 20 mins to get to the church house. So there I am walking into the chapel about 5 mins before its supposed to start and no one is there, the sounds a crickets played through my head, so I go back into the hall and all the things in the bulletin board for the ward is gone, no name plates by the bishops door, nothing. It was like a weired dream were the city had been evacuated and no one thought to inform you. So I take the 20 min trip back home so I can get onto the wards web sight to see what the heck, after about half an hour of resigning up I finally get to the sight and find that as of today my ward is meeting at a different time and place. I now know ware but not quite sure when, there are two different starting times listed on the sight so I guess next Sunday I'll have to go to both and see when my ward actually does start. Now because I ended not going to church I was able to call Maria and Jake and go over to their house a couple for hours early because of this little mix up. I had made some zuppa toscacca soup yesterday and Maria wanted to try it so I took it over and we had a fun time just hanging out. Davis is one funny little guy, he's not even one yet and he is climbing onto chairs and then onto the kitchen table, gets into absolutely everything and he thinks that every one is his personal jumble gym. Thanks guys for a fun evening, Oh and Jake the grass in your back yard look fabulous (Maria thinks he's abscessing about it, he's watered it three times today, but he's supposed to keep it wet right Jake. ;-)
