My doctor called this afternoon. I have gallstones - many, many gallstones. I have to schedule an appointment with a Colon and Rectal Surgeon. Ugh.
It is times like these, when I wish that I still lived in Kentucky. I really need my family for help and support right now.

We are falling apart
I received a call from my doctor today. He had the results from my blood work. My liver enzymes are elevated again. I am becoming more and more convinced that my gallbladder is broken. Hopefully, he'll have the ultrasound results by Monday.
Porgie is going to see a cardiologist next month to check her heart murmur. Before we go, Porgie needs to have chest x-rays performed. I am fairly confident that Porgie is going to flip out. Needless to say, we are not looking forward to this experience.
Izzy needs to have another stool sample taken. However, Izzy's poop is so runny that it absorbs into his diaper before I can scoop it out. Any suggestions or advice? The doctor recommended lining his diaper with saran wrap, but that sounds a little messy.
On a positive note, John is feeling fine. But who cares about John?
** John just told me that he is going to be out of town all next week.

Stream of Consciousness: Part 8
My dear little Izzy continues to take lots of short little catnaps during the day. He takes up to 5 or 6 naps per day! Isn't that insane? To get him to sleep longer, I have been letting him take one of his afternoon naps in his swing. He'll sleep for about 2 hours in the swing. It is a little piece of heaven on Earth.

I used to work at a pet store when I was in college. Therefore, everyone I know assumes that I am a veterinarian. My mother called last week to ask me how to cure her sick dog. My response was, "Um, take him to the vet." I don't know what the hell is wrong with your damn animals - STOP CALLING ME.

My friend C was supposed to come over for a play date yesterday. I feverishly cleaned the house, did the dishes, got everyone dressed in real clothes (not pajamas), brushed my hair, and even lit a candle to make the house smell pretty. Of course, she canceled at the last minute. So, now I have to do everything again on Friday. Damn friends.
__________
I finally had the ultrasound of my gallbladder and upper GI performed. It was an interesting experience, and I am eager to get the results. I had another "attack" yesterday, and spent 30 minutes in the bathroom puking. When I told the technician this story, she asked if I might be pregnant. HA! FUNNY! Is she freaking insane? Of course I am not pregnant.

We had satellite for about 5 years. Recently, we switched back to cable, and I am loving On Demand. We can watch Barney or Blue's Clues or Jack's Big Music Show any ol' time we want to. Have I mentioned that I LOVE Steve?

When Izzy was born, I started pumping milk and freezing it. I have at least 60 ounces sitting in my freezer right now. I just realized this morning that it is all useless, because I was eating dairy and soy when I pumped it. Grrr.
