A new LO

Hi all,

Well i went and had an abdominal wall scan today (another ultrasound) which was painful.. to get pics of the hernia, yuk. It was at 12pm, and I had to fast for 6 hours so I was STARVING!! And in pain as I couldn't even have water to take painkillers.. ouch.

So I will take the 2 scan results I now have to the Gynaecologist tomorrow and see what happens from here.. I am over this, I hope they can fix me up!

Anyhoo, this afternoon I have done a LO of Gus & Daniel (his mate) fishing. It was for the June sketch challenge on the Sm forum. Gus always says I never do any page sof him, so he's happy now :)

Hope you like it!!

Stuck in Bed on this beautiful day..

Well, I am thankful that the forum and BLOG surfing is giving me something to do, 'cause I am stuck in bed.I have been having pains in my right ovary kinda area for a few months, but it was quite bad on Thursday, which is unusual as the pains usually stop after I finish my period (which was now 4 days ago..) so I got worried and went to the doc. He sent me for an ultrasound (I got in yesterday thankfully) and the lady who scanned me said she thought it was a hernia (on the edge of my ceasarian scar from Oct 2004)- AARGH!So back to the Doc who sent me to Wyong hospital. So I had to have a canula (I am such a big baby, I cried..) some blood tests (which all came back normal) and some morphine for the pain (YAY, pity I can't get THAT every month! ROFL) and the Surgeon examined my very sore belly (so many ppl had already poked and prodded me..) and said he didn't think it was a hernia YAY but probably endometriosis. This is happens where part of the endometrium (Uterus) cells break off and start growing where they shouldn't.So I have to go an see a Gyanecologist and probably get a laparoscopy (camera in througha cut in yoru belly button) as it's the only way to diagnose Endometiosis. But I had a laparoscopy when I had my appendix out, so I know all about that. Not good, but it sure could be worse. Apparently if the Endometriosis is accessible, they can cut or burn it out. That doesn't mean it won't come back though.But it would help for a few years, and reduce any risks of possible infertility (scary). My mum's cousin had endo, and had such bad pain she had to go to the hospital for a pethidine shot every month.I have always had bad period pain, but just went to bed when it got really bad and thought nothing more of it. I guess it was more than just period pain.So wish me luck with it all. Just sucks it came to a head now, I work in the financial services industry, and all our financial advisers are going nuts calling me with 30 June stuff (I am just ignoring them..hehehe) but my boss is amazing and just worried about me, she's taking care of all the work stuff.So I guess I am venting a little and having a whinge, and just generally feeling a bit sorry for myself!Time for more panadeine Forte, which also means a sleep (it makes me dozy..)Thanks for your patience in listening!P.S Maybe no gym for a while either - DOH!!! I was just getting into it, dropped to a size 14, was hanging out to get back to a 12.. guess I'll put that on hold.. sigh..

GREAT news!

Well, I am soo excited. BOTH my sisters Kirsty (with her girlfriend Kiely & Son Mitchell) & Sharine (with her kids Savanna & Jamison) are moving to the Central Coast! YAY! Now all the kids will be together, and we will have a fantastic support (& Friendship!) network with each other being so close.

Kirsty (as she does) is moving THIS weekend! She is so spontaneous..

Sharine will move in April when her lease runs out.

FANTASTIC!

My weekend

Well, I had a good weekend. My sister Kate had a BBQ at her house Saturday, but it rained, so we spent it under my DH's tarp in the front yard (the grass in the backyard was too wet to mow & too long to stand on).

Kate, her neighbour Fiona & I went to the pub for a drink & a game of pool (which we only lost by 1 stinkin ball.. lol) and then home to bed, not a very late one.

Sunday was a quiet day at home.

I made some mini LO's for some ppl on a scrapbooking forum I have to send out. And that's about all!

I spent today doing housework, but Gus and I got chicken & chips for lunch & took Em to teh park to eat it & play in the playground. She has a bit of a cough but is fine.. Probably from running around like a maniac on Sat with all the kids at Kate's (bu she had fun.. slept well that night lol!)

I have to put the pics on my computer yet, but will post some for laughs..

till next time...

My gorgeous sis turns 27 today

Well, my "Big little sis" (she's my little sis, who's taller (much) than me) turned 27 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!! We (Kate + friends & Fam) went to the Entrance Bowling Club for lunch, then a drink at Kate's place. She was surrounded by much love. Then her best bud Tam took her to dinner. So all in all, a good day for her. LUV YA KATE!!

My stitches came out of my poor sore Gum today, which I was worried about, but a spesh & lovely friend Fiona (who conveniently happens to be a dental nurse) had a look & assures me it looks fine, and not to worry, this is normal. I'm just glad I didn't swallow the thing, it looked festy!

Other than that, not too much to report. It's raining here, yuk.

Oooh oh! Gus (DH) just told me he might be getting a cash job, out of which he wants me to spend some (hopefully by 'some' the darling man means 'lots'!!) on replenishing my scrap supplies! YIPEEEE he LUURVES ME! If he washes up I will love him even more! he he he

So off to "Beddy bye nigh nighs" as Kate says to her almost 2 yr old DD Kiara!

Healing

So, 1 tooth less, but feeling better. My Dad came for a visit to see us, and my Sister Kate (Who lives very close by) and ended up with Gastro! What a present for Father's Day! I haven't seen him yet.. He didn't wan to infect us, so is staying at Kate's. So his pressie is sitting in the spare room (which, sadly, has been cleaned of all my scrap stuff, to give the man a place to sleep!).

I am having serious scrapping withdrawals.. I started a canvas for my Sister Kate's birthday, which is TOMORROW! & I haven't finished it! AAARGH! I have nowhere to scrap.. Mental note, must make Dad sleep at Kate's more often.. he he he (even tho I have a spare room & she doesn't.. not to worry! Priorities!)

So, am being enormously inspired by all the BLOGS & Forum posts, so have to try to scrape out a space elsewhere in the house..

Also, am looking forward to going to my first crop at Toukley on 28th, THANKS FOR THE INVITE LISA!!! YOU ROCK!

There's no Wisdom in having Wisdom teeth out!

So I have just created a blog! I am sitting at the computer, as I can't do much & am sick of being in bed all day..

Excuse the spelling, as I am on panadeine forte..

So a month ago I had an infected wisdom tooth out, and was in a lot of pain, so anything had to be better than that..

Yesterday was booked in to have the remaining 3 teeth out, 1.5 hours, all over red rover, right? WRONG!

It took 2.5 hours, 2 dentists & 2 lots of anaesthetics (the 1st lot wore off, OUCH!), and only 1 tooth out.

SO am sad, sore & sorry today.

back to bed..
