Surgery and other things

I will be having surgery on Tuesday March 31st to remove my non-functional gallbladder. I should be home the same day. My mom is flying out today, to spend a few weeks with me, helping me during my recovery.

I will find out tomorrow, when I see my GI (stomach) doctor what the plan of action will be for the Hiatal Hernia they discovered I have, while testing the gallbladder issues. It will require another surgery, although when that will happen is still unknown. There may be a few more tests required.

DJ has started kung-fu classes and is doing pretty well with it. He has first belt test (while belt) tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. His Kindergarten registration is coming up next week, as well. Time flies.

For a complete subject change, I am super addicted to Twilight and American Idol. I have been addicted to AI for years, but I'm a big, big fan of a few people this year, mostly Adam Lambert. I can't even describe how amazing he is. As for Twilight, I read all the books, saw the movie in theaters twice and now own it on DVD and have watched it twice at home, once with commentary, once without. I will probably watch it another 300 times in the next few months. Ok, maybe only 5 or 6 times...

Tests and testing my patience

On the medical front, things have only gotten crazier. I had a test this week, which revealed some new information and requires some other testing. So, I have a ct scan, nuclear medicine scan, and an endoscopy scheduled in the coming weeks, along with a couple other doctors appointments. I've tried to just pray and give it to God, because otherwise I would be freaking out. I know it's going to work out just fine, but it's a lot to go through on top of everything else. DJ has been going to daycare part-time, because I'm having a hard time keeping up with him, and that was a very agonizing decision that his mother and I had to make.

About two and a half months until I had supposed to head home to Tacoma and start my "new life", and hopefully all this will work out in time for that to still happen on schedule.

I need to find a moving company and schedule my pack-out date, to get all my stuff back home. I'm still teaching at the preschool a couple days a week.

The lack of blogging is just because there's so much going on and much of my down-time has been spent sleeping as I seem to be exhausted all the time these days.
