Weekend Review.........

What a weekend! Its been a few days since I blogged simply because the weekend was long and drug out. Steve was sent to the hospital on Saturday night to get checked out for a pain in his lower stomach area. We thought his hernia was acting up again.

We got the hospital after he got off work around 9:30-9:45 p.m. and waited for about 1 1/2 hour til they got him checked/signed in. Not too bad I thought......and then they put him in a waiting room to see the doctor. We waited and waited, which we figured we'd have to wait a little bit. I finally got tired of sitting on a hard chair and went back out to the waiting room in the ER room with soft seats. Finally after 2 hours, they came and got me, informed me they hooked Steve up to an IV and was going to run a Cat Scan in 2 hours, because he had to drink this nasty drink before doing a Cat Scan.........it took 2 hours to take effect? And that would be about 2:00a.m.

Back to the waiting room I went, and finally at 3:30 I went back to find out what was up ---he said he just got back from the Cat Scan, they never came to get him til 2:45. Now waiting for results...................

Back to the waiting room I went. He was still on Iv's..........finally at about 5:00 after being so irritable and tired of sitting and waiting, I went back (again) and starting to ask questions myself, and got irritable again. The doctor finally told us nothing showed on the cat scan and a surgeon would have to be called down and most likely admit him to run more tests, and admit for 24 hours to watch him.

So, I went home..........it was now 6:00a.m. when I pulled in the driveway, hungry and tired. I went to bed and got up about 12:30p.m. Not much sleep but better than anything.

To make a long story short, he was admitted all day Sunday and just got home today about 3:30 after being discharged. Still no real answer to what was wrong. It wasn't his appendix, no kidney stones, and no hernia..........maybe a pulled muscle is what he told us today. Steve had some major surgery as an infant in that same area, and he said its possible the organs inside got moved from heavy lifting and pulled a muscle in there. He's still hurting but on pain pills and at home to relax. He'll be back to work by Thursday.

What a weekend.......running back and forth to the hospital is just not fun! I don't want to go through that again.

I did get to the scrapbook store on Sunday with Rhonda to sit and chat and scrapbook for about 2 1/2 hours. Get my mind off that and just take a breather. It was nice to get out and scrapbook, although I talked more than scrapped. :-) laugh. I had fun. I plan to take Taylor next weekend since she missed this trip. It's been months since we went to the scrapbook store to sit down and scrapbook together. She spent the weekend with her dad.

Now we're ready to get back in the swing of things and get back to daily routines. School is back in session tomorrow after a 4 day weekend.

Well, its 12:54 a.m. and time to get to bed.......didn't realize it was this late. We've been watching movies all night and lost track of time, watched "YOU, ME & DUPREE" and then watched "JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE." What a good selection.

Good night all til tomorrow.
