A gallbladder by any other name....

would still hurt as bad! Most of you know that I had my gallbladder removed last Thursday. I FINALLY got to come home on Saturday and now I am slowly recovering. I have been having the gallbladder attacks off and on for the last 6 months or so. I had one Wednesday night that was awful! Nothing I had done to ease the pain in the past was working. I finally told James I couldn't take it any more. Mom and Dad came and got the kids and we were off to the ER. They ran all of the tests and sure enough...I needed to have it removed. The surgery was no big deal, I never even knew when they took me back to the OR. I am so glad to have it over with and even more happy about not having to go through those "episodes" again.

We are slowly but surely getting settled into our house. This surgery has certainly set us back a great deal, but I know it will all get done eventually. James is off to Joplin today and will be in Fort Worth later this week for some kind of "preacher training day". Please pray for his safe travel. The girls and I will be staying at Mom's. I will get some new pics on here as soon as I can. I know I have been terrible about that. Sorry! Will do my best to remedy that SOON!
