If you follow me at all on Twitter or Facebook you’ll already know a little bit about what’s been going on this week. It started Saturday with what I thought was just a gas bubble under my ribs. I went to be with a lot of pain, but expecting it to be gone in the morning. It didn’t go away. It did get worse though. By Monday I was in enough pain that I went to the Dr. He said it was my gall bladder and that I’d probably need it removed right away. He wanted me to get an ultrasound, took some blood tests and some x-rays and told me to go directly to the ER if things got worse. Well, they did. I went to the ER yesterday and got the ultrasound, took more blood tests, more x-rays and they came back with a diagnosis of “Gallstones”. They said that my gall bladder isn’t infected so there’s no rush to have it removed, but it won’t really get better either. I”m supposed to watch what I eat and talk to a surgeon about getting my gall bladder removed.

I”m in a lot of pain and my nausea is really bad too. The only thing that I”m supposed to watch out for is my gall bladder getting infected, which the only other sign to all the pain and nausea is a high temperature. So I’m keeping a watch on that, cuz that would be the only thing that will tell me that I need to ruse to the ER again. Doesn’t that sound like fun??

So what are the foods I’m supposed to avoid? Basically everything I love…. Fats and Spicey. So from now on I have to eat bland rabbit food. Which, I have been doing lately anyway becasue I haven’t felt up to eating anything other than soup or salad, and I’m still having major pains. So, I get to eat plain boring food and still hurt. Great deal!! NOT!

On top of all that I find out that Zynga (the company who makes all those really great games for Facebook and Myspace) has charged our business credit card $200. How they got the card number and what the charges are for I have no clue. I love playing those games, but I would NEVER pay for anything to do with those games, espeically not $200 bucks worth! One time I bought some extra coins for a game, not one done by Zynga, and I went through those coins so fast it wasn’t worth it. So I’ve never bought anything for the games since then, and that was about 6 months ago that I did that. And I used my PayPal account, not even my personal credit card, for that. So somehow Zynga or someone else, got our business credit card number and used it. So now we have to get those charges reversed, change our card numbers and deal with all of that crap.

THEN I got an email card from my dad for thanksgiving today. And somehow he forgot that I have two sons. He address the card to me and Rodger (note the mispelling as well), but not to Jack. Every time I think that maybe my Dad isn’t so bad and I should give him a chance to be a part of our lives (more than just on Facebook), he does something like this. How do you forget that you have TWO grandsons? I’d say that maybe because we don’t talk and such that maybe it’s an understandable omission, but we are connected on facebook, and I talk about the boys all the time. So, there’s no reason for him to forget. It’s just crazy!!

So that’s how my week has gone so far. I’ve spent a ton of money on Dr’s without getting anything really taken care of. Got ripped off by some company through facebook and my dad forgets one of his grandsons. Fun times!

So I still have trouble getting out of bed before 7am.  But instead of getting upset with myself for not getting up earlier, and then not doing any exercising, I just did the exercises after I did wake up.  I feel really good about the fact that I actually did start working out.  However, the working out just killed me and I only did 75% of what I was going to do!  LOL!

I used Walking away the Pouds, by Leslie Samsone.  I did the 1st mile “Get up and Get Started”, and was able to keep going for 15 minutes!  Of course my legs are tired and killing me, but I think it’s worth it none the less.

I’ve downloaded and printed out the pages from “Body For Life” website and started filling them out.  I need to go grocery shopping and get a bunch of different things to eat.  None of the food that is on the list of “authorized” foods is very different from what I’m already eating.  Although going out to eat will be only once a week or less.  Other than that, the only difference with the food I eat now, and what I will be eating is that it won’t be white flour in bread, tortillas and pasta, it’ll be wheat or other whole grains.  I love yogurt, cottage cheese, and fruits and vegies.  I”ll still be able to eat meat and some carbs and fats.  So basically just a little healthier than I have been, and more often!  LOL!

So even though my legs are tired, it was still a great day!  I”m glad I wrapped my head around not needing to exercise at a specific time and just exercise when I get up.
