"There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it." -Judith McNaught STORY OF MY LIFE!!

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
