Another Part Missing

 It has been a roller coaster month since I last posted.  We are settled into our new home and just as we thought we'd be able to sit back and enjoy our new life, Jim was thrown a curveball.

While putting the new front license plate on the car

he somehow twisted his back and was in pain, so much so that he contacted his doctor to be examined.  With only Tylenol for pain relief he wasn't getting much rest, nor was I.  

Then the ice cream!

He had some ice cream...it made him uncomfortable and he was upset for a day or so.  Still suffering with this back /hip pain.  A few days later he tried some more ice cream....this time he spent about 36 hours throwing up.  This was a Friday night and I debated on taking him to the ER.  So now he's added to his pain level, very uncomfortable and playing musical beds trying to get some rest and healing.  Now he's beginning to worry me!  

Sunday morning I told him he needed to try and eat so he could get some sustenance...smoothies were his preferred food.  Another call on Monday to his Dr and made an appointment for Thursday regarding his hip/back pain.  Of course this was set aside once we related the other issues.  She made all the arrangements for him to go to the ER.

Once there he was seen quickly and had a slew of tests and they admitted him.  Pancreatitis infection related to his gallbladder.  Finally getting some answers does help along with the pain meds too.  They kept him all weekend and removed his gallbladder a week ago Monday.  He liked the bed he was in...said for a hospital bed it was the most comfortable he's ever had.  Seems it adjusted so you didn't get bed sores.  Pumping up in various spots.  Liquid diet mostly which was awful!  bad bad ingredients and I'm sure no nutrients.  We kept bringing him smoothies and treats.  

Sonsearae was a big help, she drove me to and from the hospital and bought some tasty foods for Jim to eat.  We even had a lunch at a great place and enjoyed some wine, much needed on my part!

I think he came home last Wednesday.  Still recovering but doing a lot better than a couple weeks ago.  Mostly sleeps but I do see some changes happening.  All the bed rest helped with the back/hip pain but he has to get an xray so they can find out what's up.

Now we are expecting a hurricane to inundate us with rain.  Hopefully that's all this area will get!

Earlier this month I got a haircut and I have made some cards

All is right (almost) in our world
