I'm bored

Okay, so this stupid, bed-rest "take it easy" for at least 1-2 weeks is driving me crazy. I feel pretty dang good, considering my "adventures" last week. Today marks my week anniversary of losing my evil gallbladder. I think the week mark was a great point. I woke up today and really, only the incisions are tender. My ab muscles seem to be back to normal. I so far have only had problems eating custard...it didn't really agree with me. But I've had no problems with pizza, a DQ Chocolate Truffle Blizzard (which I highly recommend), or chicken enchiladas (don't worry, I've also eaten some bland, healthy, low-fat foods in there too, some day's you just gotta splurge, though). I really haven't had any problems recovery. I still get pretty tired fairly quickly, though. That COULD be from fighting all this for almost a month, plus the surgery...but that's just my opinion. I'm still trying to take it fairly easy (don't want to overdo it and screw something up). Really the only complaint I have now is I'm bored. This week, I was supposed to work 60-72 hours (it kept changing) which was going to be great to distract me from waiting for my mission call. The application is in Salt Lake, not all I can do is wait. It should be here within the next 1-2 weeks. Perfect timing...now all I'm allowed to do really is sit and wait...not a whole lot of other activities...ugh! This whole learn patience thing sucks!

Guess where I am! I'm in the ER waiting room, waiting for isaac to get out. He has (get this!) Gallstones. Hahaha. It's really not funny, but in light of what just happened to you, I find it slightly amusing. Hope it makes you smile too.

Oh,as soon as we were out of the er, isaac says to me, "so did you tell caitlin I might need my gallbladder out too?" Lol
