I can not believe it!  We recently found out that we are having a baby.  We are due on March 28th.  I will keep you informed!

The worst thing that could ever happen happened to me tonight.  My son is now 10 years old.  I allow him to ride the bus home from school instead of going to daycare.  I have a daughter that is 14 so she is home when he gets off the bus.  My husband and I both get off around 3:30 so we are usually home when he gets home too.  Well today I was a little bit late getting home.  I have another son that is getting married on Sunday so I was busy doing final touches with him.  Anyway I walk in the house and ask my daughter where Brandon is and she said I don't know he didn't get off the bus.  It didn't quite register when she said that.  I then asked well did the bus go by.  And she says I don't know.  Damn 14 year girls!  I go outside and see some of his friends riding their bikes and I ask them if he got off the bus.  He said no he stayed after school for drumming class.  I'm thinking huh???  I never signed his permission slip for him to go to drumming class again this year.  Now just a little bit of info on my son.  He is the poster child for ADHD.  Diagnosed 3 years ago.  Has problems focusing in school.  (we call it the I just saw something shiny sindrome)  So I'm thinking holy sh#@!  Its now 5 and they end at 4:30.  So I race up to the school calling every 3 minutes trying to get intouch with someone.   The schools answering machine is on so now all of these bad thoughts are racing through my head!  OMG what if he's not there.  It was the worst drive to his school ever!  When my daughter and I get there both of the doors are locked and Brandon is nowhere to be found.   I called my mom because she picks him up sometimes but she would let me know if she did.  No answer.  I also have a restraining order on my sons father and we have not seen him in 4 years.  This past week I received 2 child support checks from him.  (which we have not seen that in about a year but 2 in one week was unhead of)  So my mind is racing.  Now I'm freaking out.  Bawling my head off!  I call 911.  While I'm on the phone with 911 I see someone in the school.  It was Brandons last year teacher.  I pound on the window and he lets me in.  I explain to the teacher what is going on and he tells me that they didn't have any after school programs going on today.  So now I'm even more hystarical.  They take me down to the office while we wait for the police.  In the mean time they tell me to have my husband stay home just incase he shows up.  I'm so scared at this point and so many thoughts are running through my head.  They contact the principal and started to create a search team.  Then the police show up.  It was so awful.  I never thought I would have to tell someone what my son was wearing, what he looks like, and if I had a recent picture.  So of course now I'm really freaking out and bawling my head off.  While I'm talking to the police my mom keeps calling me and I'm so shaken up that I keep hitting ignore instead of answering it.  I call her back and her first words are I HAVE BRANDON!  OMG you wanna talk about releaved and pissed off all at once!  The drumming club is going to the fair tomorrow to perform and you have to goto the practice if you want to goto the fair to perform.  So he went to the practice without telling anyone and didn't have a way to get home so the instructor told Brandon to call someone that lived close to the school to get a ride home.  The teacher that told me that was not a practice and didn't know about it because it was a special one because they were performing tomorrow.  So, my mom goes and picks him up.  She left her cell phone at home and took him out to dinner.  She runs home to get her cell and thinks oh ya I better call Jamie and let her know I have her son!  YA THINK SO!?!  I have the worst headache ever.  When I got home it looked like there was a party at my house.  So many people were out looking for him.  I feel so blessed that nothing happened to him.  I don't know what I would do.  My family is my everything.  God was definately looking out over us tonight.  We are truly blessed!  Thank god he is ok. 

It actually been almost 2 weeks since I started back.  Everyone was so excited to see me.  It felt so good.  Everyone loved how I looked.  I'm still a little tired.  The first week I worked half days.  My work load is still the same if not more.  But I love my job and what I do.  Everyone at work is very supportive. 

WOW!  It's been awhile since I have posted.  Lets see where do I start.  I'm still having trouble drinking water.  I think that I take too much air in when I drink.  Not sure.  After surgery my protein tastes sooooo awful.  I started taking my protein to my favorite espresso place and they mix them up for me.  They put in a new sugar free flavor everytime.  I think the white chocolate is my favorite.  They usually make me a 20 ounce with 2 scoops.  I think that next week I will do a 24 oz with 3 scoops.  I was in the ER about a week ago with chest pain.  I thought that I just over did it.  I took my family to the mountains and we went on a scenic train ride.  Then later that night we took the boys fishing.  When arrived home I had the weirdest pain.  I called my doc and he told me to go to the ER.  I have also had these dizzy spells.  I get really sweaty then really light headed.  So the ER did a ton of testing on me and found out that I had a dangerously low potasium level.  So they gave me a bunch of potasium and a perscription to take it at home.  BTW liquid potasium is so awful.  I followed up with my doc and he took me off all of my medication.  (blood pressure and water pills)  I guess my water pills take a lot of potasium out of you.  I was kind of nervous about not taking my water pills.  I didnot want to get puffy again.  My ankles are looking pretty good.  Not too much water gain.  My blood pressure has been super low.  103/68 without medication.  Woo Hoo!

Today I was so full of anxiety.  I have been traped in the house for almost a week.  I did go out one day to go to the grocery store but my husband drove and I took Oxycodone before we left.  I was in so much pain by the time we got home it was awful.  So today I figured that I would try and drive and go to the local petstore to pick up some crickets for my sons bearded dragon.  Well guess what.  That was a huge mistake.  First I never realized how many bumps we have on the way to the store.  I didn't wear a seatbelt because of my incisions so I was good there.  (I guess)  By the time I got home I had so much pain in my tummy and in my back.  I had to take it really easy the rest of the day.  I have been on the phone all day.  I'm going crazy I'm so bored here at home.  I'll be so disappointed if they don't let me go back to work on Monday.  BUT the bonuses for today are.  It's almost 3 and I have drank almost all of my protein for the day and now I'm working on my water.  While I was out today I went to Starbucks and bough a 20 oz hibiscus herbal tea with 3 splenda's.  I'm getting bored with all the crystal light.  I think that I have atleast one box of each flavor that they offer.  I gotta get a hobby!

I can not believe it.  My dreams are becoming a reality.  I always had some sort of doubt in the back of my head that this would not work and I would be destined to be fat the rest of my life.  Well I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 10lbs in one week.  Thats so great.  I feel so good and I'm so proud of myself.  I think that I should go shopping today!

I think that I'm finally understanding everything.  Either that or I took way to much pain meds tonight.  I have been getting so frustrated lately.  It has been so hard for me to figure out just how much I can drink and what I can do with out overdoing it.  I set very high goals for myself.  I was going to be one of those patients who did everything right.  I was going to take in all of my water and medication and only eat what I was suppose to.  Then I came home from the hospital and realized that I was definately high.  I try so hard everyday to get my water in.  Thats a big one for me.  I love drinking water but I'm a guzzler.  Well guess what.  Not anymore.  I have to drink all of my water out of a teaspoon.  Then after 3 or 4 teaspoons I have chest pain and have to stop.  I think that the chest pain means that I am full.  Then I have my medication.  I have to crush most of it and if I can not crush it it has not gone down.  I get exhausted just trying to drink and take medication everyday.  Thats a lot to keep up with when you think about it.  Oh and did I forget to mention what they show on TV during the day.  Holy crap.  I never knew someone could have some many babies daddies.  Thats crazy!  So here I sit like a wild hillbilly burping and farting trying to keep up on who fathered who's baby on TV.  I love my life!  Thank God I'm going back to work next week!

Well I made it through.  I came home yesterday.  I wanted to wait a little while before I posted to see if some of this pain would go away.  The surgery went very well.  If took him a little over 5 hours and he was able to do it by lap.  I was the first case of the morning so that was good.  I can honestly say that I was not pleased by the hospital staff.  Nobody smiled, had a good bedside manor, they didn't wash their hands when they came in and out of the room, and they seemed put out by all the times I had to go to the bathroom.  But I loved my Dr.  He was wonderful.  I can not say enough about him.  He knew that I was so nervous and he even held my hand before I went out.  He was great and made me feel comfortable.  They had me stay in the recovery room due to the fact that they could not get my nausia and pain under control.  It sucked!  After about 2 hours in the recovery room they put me back into the triage area where I came from before I had my surgery.  They put me into a bed but it was very uncomfortable So my mom talked them into giving me a recliner and that is where I stayed all night.  I was the only person in this triage area, for some reason everyone else that day had their own room.  Not sure why this happened either.  I had to remind the nurses for my antinausia medicine and pain medication.  It was awful.  The night staff was great.  I hit my call button every 20 minutes because I had to go to the bathroom so much.  (they had to unhook my leg compressors)  

My coworkers, family, and friends brought me flowers and other comforting presents.  I had 8 bunchs of flowers.  They all smelt so good in my little hospital room.  

Before I could leave they had me drink 50 1oz cups of water.  Everytime I did so it felt as thow there is a small capsule stuck in my throat.  The Dr. said that the cat scan came back perfect and there were "No Worries"  His famous words. 

The car ride home was hell.  I would recommend a pillow to hold on to while you are in the car.  I had my husband pull over to get mine out of the trunk.  What a lifesaver that was.  

Getting to go home was heaven.  I enjoy sleeping in my own bed.  I didn't take my pain medicine in the middle of the night so when I woke up I was in a lot of pain.  If you are in a lot of pain remember to keep caught up on your medicine.  

I gotta go and walk.  Gotta get this gas out!
