How I spent my Birthday

Ok so now I am 40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think I look it, I don't feel it and I certainly don't and never will act it!

40 is great and the next 40 will be even greater.

My birthday was spent at the hospital. lol Pretty funny way to spend the day.

I stayed home with my daughter on Monday because she spent the entire night throwing up every hour until 6AM. I started feeling crappy during the day so I napped with her and then I spiked a fever. I pretty much slept the next few days feeling nauseous and with fever but my lower back was killing me and I mostly tossed and turned.

Yesterday morning I decided that I should be seen because I thought I had a kidney stone. I spent 12 hours in the ER. I had blood in my urine(indication of a stone possible) but something else was in the urine (urobilinogen) which made them think possibly pancreas related. Blood tests were awesome but the CT scan showed some sludge in my gallbladder. Chest x-ray showed stuff on my left lung. Now they think pulmonary embolism! So now I needed a HIDA scan and another CT with contrast. HIDA scan took forever because my gallbladder wouldn't release the dye, probably from the sludge (how gross) but it did finally release some of it so it works but may attribute to some of the pain. CT was fine so the xray must have been a shadow and the urobilinogen was less on the next urine test and not found in my blood.

They think I may have passed a stone and I had some inflamtion in my mesenteric area of the abdomen so most likely compounded with a virus.

Anyway, I am fine. I am great actually. And I bet you wanted to know all of this huh?

Peter treated me by bringing home sushi and lo-mein and we let Casey stay up a little late to chow down with us.

So it's off to work for me.

Love and light~
