Club Med

Well here I am, I'm in the club...again. I went to the ER last night because I thought I needed an x-ray and I was in pain so bad that I needed to get it done. My x-ray showed new changes and the ER doc wanted to send me to KU last night. I decided that I would like to sleep in my own bed one more night, I knew I could hold out for one more night. Yes I admit that was very selfish of me, but oh well.

We woke up to the noisy thunderstorms. The power went off at about 7:00, but we still thought the kids had to go to school, so they got dressed by my book light. I fell back asleep and then woke up to my kids voices. Mom came over to check on me and then when she was there, the lights came back on.

We then started the grueling process of getting ready for the ride to KU. It's always a quiet ride, trying to be in a positive mood, but all in all our minds racing with "what if's" and "how long will I stay this time".

Brian slipped on some water while at the dealership this morning and felt a pop in his back. He's now in pain and driving. We finally get to KU and I usually have to wait in admissions for hours, but this time it was only 30 minutes, I get to my room and then Brian thinks he might need to get checked out. So he's in the ER and I have the kids with me. They have to go with me to get an x-ray, but at least we had Drake and Josh to watch all afternoon. Brian finally gets done with ER and seems he has torn more tissue.

You know? When it rains, it pours!!!

"The Boss" came in and talked with me about my diagnosis and most likely it is pneumonia, but with lots of pain this time. I can't even breathe in a big breath, yawn, sniff, or cough without pain. So they wrote for pain meds if I need it. I don't like to take pain meds but I just might have to take some tonight so I can sleep. So far my port is holding up, although it needed some anticlogging stuff so they can draw blood out of it.

Now the kids are gone, my hubby is gone and I'm here with my internet, tv, my big jug of water. I brought movies with me, Twilight (of course), Under the Tuscan Sun, Failure to Launch and The Passion.

I wonder what time the doctors will wake me up in the morning.
