Just a quick update!

First I want to thank all of you who said a prayer and sent some well wishes my way- this is very much appreciated- it really means a lot to me to have friends who care.

So I spent most of yesterday at the hospital having an abcess drained and tissue culture taken. It was kind of a long day- I did not  not know I was supposed to fast to have "concious sedation", so I had to wait about 4-5 hours for my small breakfast to digest, then I could actually  get hooked up to an IV for some super duper relaxing "won't remember a thing" drugs- so I would feel little or no pain for this icky/painful  procedure.

So I sat on my bum in my hospital gown and nonslip socks in a big old comfy recliner under a nice toasty warm blanket and watched some good TV and read some magazines. If only I had thought to bring along the book I was in the middle of I could have easily finished that. I kept smelling really good coffee being brewed all day knowing that there way no way in heck I could have any- can you say torture! Why is it you always crave what you can't have?

Anyways, the procedure went well  (still a bit painful- but not too bad) and I was home by dinner time (and trust me I was starving). So today I rested and did absolutely nothing but sit on my butt again (mostly in front of the computer here.....) trying to recover from yesterday's ordeal. I'm feeling much better even though I'm still a bit sore around the site where they took a tissue sample and my "you know what" looks like it's been in a car accident- yikes! Thankfully I've had a very slow work week and my hubby and son have been extremely kind and patient with me- the hubby even offered to do a load of laundry if you can believe that- and my son has been waiting on me hand and foot.....when he remembers.

The doctors should have some test results for me by Friday- I think they did 2 separate pathology workups- one to check for what type of pathogen is lurking inside me to make sure I'm on the correct antibiotics, and  another one for benign or malignant tissue? (Heck....I was so drugged up I can hardly remember what the  they said).  Keeping my fingers crossed that all is well.......actually I'm not too worried at all since I've never had any problems in the past.

I hope to be back to my active self by Monday (actually able to do normal upper body activities- wohooo!) and will try to get some crafting done tomorrow- especially since my order from 2 Peas got delivered today-  new Hero Arts and Basic Grey goodies!

Thanks a ton ladies for all of your support and see you all again soon- hopefully with some new fall or Halloween card creations!

Gentle hugs,

Anne
