One of those days...

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing goes right?! Well I had one yesterday! Let me preface by saying if you don't want to know anything personal about me just stop reading now...

Some of you knew I was supposed to have minor surgery yesterday. Notice the supposed in the last sentence. Anyway I was scheduled to have a laparoscopy test (looks inside at the ovaries etc.), hysteroscopy (looks inside the uterus) and a D&C (where they scrape the uterus). I have been having my time of the month about every two weeks or so and it has been quite bad and also quite painful. We arrived at the hospital a little after 630 a.m. I was not brought back into pre-op until 7:30 a.m. Around 8:00 a.m. they told me that the machine used for the procedures was not working. Apparently there was no hot water in the operating room. The hot water would sterilize the machine. Kind of important! Long story short around 12:30 p.m. all I could get out of the nurses was that they might be able to do my procedure at 2:30 or 3:00 p.m., but they could not guarantee the time. Need-less-to-say I went home having no procedure. They are going to reschedule for later.

So now I am left trying to figure out the reason why something like this would be delayed. I know God has a plan, but I never figured I would have this postponed. Anyway so everything we had planned for yesterday has been put on hold. I did however get to go to Marie's first t-ball game which was fun. They won by he way 21-14! She has a really good team this year.

As a little update...I am obviously back from Houston. I ended up staying two weeks. The foot surgery mom had was a little more complicated than expected. They ended up having to put pins in her toes and a screw in the side of her toe. She could not drive for two weeks and honestly if the procedure was not planned I would have probably stayed another week until the pins come out. She is however driving and seems to be doing ok. I know she is really tired, but that is expected after having such an intense surgery. We had a good time while I was in Houston just doing our own thing and not having to rush around for any one or any thing. Marie was with me the first week and then we met half way and gave her to my sister who met JJ halfway so she could come back to school.

So that is what is going on around here. We are all doing good except we would all use some more sleep! I should get going now and get Marie ready for school! Let me hear from everyone and I will post when the procedure is rescheduled! Love to all!

Oh, bummer--I'm so sorry to hear about yesterday. I was thinking of you and praying for you and popped on your blog to see how things went. Obviously not as expected! Keep us posted. I hope you can get it rescheduled soon.
