What an awful week. I got admitted to the hospital because I have been puking and couldn't keep anything down. I was glad I went in when I did because they had to go through the whole hospital staff to get an IV in me. Finally they called in Surgery and FINALLY got it in and going. The anti nausea meds didn't do much for the nausea, but it did keep me from vomiting near as much as I was here at home.
Dr. McKenney sent me home because I had an appointment with my surgeon on Thursday and he wanted me to get to Peoria and see what he had to say. I went and Dr. Marshall was thinking I just had the flu, but if I was not better by Tuesday I have to go back and see him first thing Tuesday. Looks like I am going up on Tuesday because I just keep getting sick. I will be okay for a few hours and then it hits again and again. I hate getting sick so much.
Yesterday we were in Lowes and were checking out and I got a hot flash, knew it was coming. I was getting ready to toss my cookies. The lady was taking her precious time checking me out. I must have looked bad cause she looked at me and said "are you going to be okay" and I said "yeah, morning sickness" she then looked at Brody in the cart and looked at me like I was nuts, but it's waaaayyyy easier to go that route than explain that I had stomach surgery and try to explain that while I am trying to hold in vomit. I no sooner made it out to the truck to Bill and Cole and I lost it. Puked everywhere. Gross.
Grandma Jean is taking me to Peoria on Tuesday. I am so grateful for all this help from everyone. It's such a pain in the butt to have to go anyplace because I have to have a sitter for Brody, someone to get Cole off the bus and someone to help Cole with homework and get the boys fed. It's a job dealing with all this. Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it? I've been miserable for so long I don't even remember what it feels like to have a good day. I keep praying to get better soon and get some energy back. It doesn't help puking all the time. Every time I puke it totally drains me. Not that I am not already drained of energy anyhow, it just wipes me out. It's all such an exhausting deal.
The house is coming along nicely. Bill, Jerry and Jamie have been working all week long and it sure does look so much different than when I last saw it. There is no trim up anymore, they have all the light fixtures removed and false lights hanging. There are new holes and receptacles in the walls where my new plug ins will be. The kitchen sink is ripped out. The plaster guys will be here this week. The new furnace will be installed this week too. The big picture window will be repaired and replaced this week. It's all coming together and it's so crazy to think that this time next week we will be paint shopping and spending time finally painting! I am happy about that! Then flooring and then MOVE IN!!!!
Yesterday I got an awesome bargain at Lowes. I found a bathroom sink and pedistool for $15 wooo hooo!!! Bill even liked it so we snatched it up! Now all I have to get is a cabinet and medicine cabinet. Slowly but surely amongst all this sickness I am getting things done. Bill got all the supplies last night for the plumbing and new gas line for the furnace. He also got some more wire for the electrical. There went another $600 on house stuff! We are knocking it off one chunk at a time.
