and a few complications came up unexpectedly. I had to have 2 blood transfusions and spend some extra time in the hospital. I'm now home but I am very weak. Just wanted to let you know I'm home and doing alright so far.

Well by the grace of God my mom is paying the upfront fee. Of course we had to hear a lot of blah, blah, blah....but it's done! This week has been a rough week for me, very, VERY emotional for some reason. I think it has to do with Josh leaving in 4 weeks, and Brad's training has stepped up to "White Phase" which means he is very busy and tired. I've missed him so much this week, it was like the week he left...BAD! I did find some photo's I've been searching for.

Well this morning I got the call from my mom she's home and now will not help me pay the upfront fee for my surgery. It looks like I will have to cancel my surgery until late August :o(

Please keep me in your prayers as the pain is getting worse.

Well this was some day. I had my appointment and will have a complete hysterectomy on April 30th. After my appointment we rushed to the hospital in Chickasha. My mom had been rushed there by paramedics. She was at a doctors appointment and had a reaction to dye they had given her for a test. She had to be revived and rushed to the ER. SHe is now in ICU. I will go back tomorrow to be with her. It looks like we will be moving back home and taking care of her in her home. What a day! I'm exhausted and need to take some pain meds. Good Night!

I've just not been in a blogging mood. I go to the doctor tomorrow to see how the surgery will be done and when. I will post tomorrow how my appointment goes.

My doctor's head nurse called me today. We have to meet again with my doctor to go over the surgery, and some other things. I go in for that meeting the 16th!! That's 2 weeks away!!!! I know she is the #1 GYN in this town and she is very, VERY good. She is booked big time!! So here I sit in pain waiting...waiting for my son to call, waiting for my surgery. I hate waiting! I'm worried about coming up with the $$ upfront for this surgery. I had to pay the doctor's fee upfront on my last surgery. So I'm worried...that could be a big chunk of change!!

I was so hoping Brad would get to call us yesterday. We've still not heard from him, tomorrow will be one week since he arrived to the base. Until he calls us and gives us his address we can't write him. We don't even know if he is out of reception or what? His basic doesn't start until he gets to his unit there. Maybe this week we'll get a call. I'm doing much better. I still tear up now and then, but I'm really doing better. I knew it would take time to get use to him being away. I'm calling my doctor today to see if we can get my surgery scheduled, and talk to her about some other issues. I have to get this surgery done so I can get healed by the time Brad graduates from Basic, should be around May. Then in August we'll travel to SC to see Josh graduate basic. Busy summer for us!!! I hope everyone has a great week. Keep those prayers and vibes coming!!

I'm not alone today!! But I've lost it once already today and it's only 8:22am *sigh* I did make it about 3 hours yesterday with out crying!! But when I did start to cry I looked at the clock and it was 5:15pm....The time Brad always walked through the door smiling, sayin "hey mom". When I'm stressed like this I don't eat, or get hungry. So yesterday I didn't eat all day, didn't even get hungry. But when Chad got home from work he drove me to Taco Mayo to get some food in me. I ate it but felt so sick afterwards we had to rush home. It was that sick feeling you get in your stomach when something feels wrong. I just knew something bad was going to happen, had happen. All I could think of was Brad...was he hurt, okay, etc...Chad called his mom to see how she was doing, and she was just like everyone else when Chad told her I wasn't doing to hot with Brad being away. She said "it's just basic". He told her no it's not just basic...he's got his orders! She then started crying. I thought she knew...I thought it was odd that she wasn't emotional at Brad's going away party Easter. Maybe now the family will be more supportive to me! I did sleep last night...I took some slepping meds and got some good sleep. That's the only time I don't cry and think about Brad. As soon as I wake up I think, what's he gotten done already today, what is he doing right now, is he happy, I could go on, and on with my thoughts. It would help if I knew his routine, then I could say it's such and such time, Brad's doing this right now. I'll have to include that in my letter to him. Everytime the phone rings I RUN to answer it in case it's Brad calling. So far nothing. I did get a job offer yesterday but had to turn it down due to the upcoming surgery :o( We need the cash right now! We've got to come up with X amount of $$$ by the first so they won't garnish Chad's wages!!! I hate bills! Everything is falling on my shoulders all at once...I'm strong but I can't take much more right now!! I did find some bible verses that were helpful...I hope you all have a safe and good weekend. I'm going to try to enjoy mine. It will be just me and Chad until Sunday night. {{Hugs}}

I'm having a Hysterectomy as soon as I can get my mental state in order with Brad leaving. I'm to call her Monday and let her know how I am doing and we'll go from there. She not only found another cyst growing on my right ovary, she discovered a polyp in my uterus. *JOY* She said the polyp could or couldn't not be cancerous. She will leave my left ovaries so I won't have to take any hormones. So  as soon as I can get over Brad being away, I can have my surgery. Chad did hear from Brad though :o) He is excited, but is missing everyone. He passed all of his tests and made weight. He will call us in a couple of days from Ft. Sill, when the drill sgts will let them call home. My dr wants me to go to a counselor, just to talk and get my feelings out about Brad. I can't afford that! I don't know how we will afford this surgery either. I was doing alright today. I have broke down 3 or 4 times since then though. It's just going to take some time and getting use to. I will be okay! I will do all of my talking here *lol* it's cheaper :o) All things take time. Please keep those prayers coming and pray for my surgery (i'm high risk) and for our finances. It's been really hard paying all the bills with me not being able to work, and Brad was helping out.

The cyst was much, much, larger than the tests showed. It was the size of my ovaries. She removed the cyst and now I am home resting. I am off for 2 weeks to rest and take it easy. I go for a check up in 2 weeks and should be back to normal activities by then. I am in some pain but it's not to bad. I already feel much better. I just wanted to let you know I'm doing good so far.
Thanks for the prayers!!
