It is Saturday, and I am finally feeling good enough to do a bit of decorating around the house. I had my second endoscopy in two weeks last week. Praise God the doctor found no cancer, but my gall stone was as large as a ping pong ball and the laser treatment only crushed half of it. So I will be returning for another treatment in December. But praise God again, I should still be able to have Amanda and her family here over Thanksgiving to celebrate both holidays. Right now the house is a topsy turvy mess! But all of the fall decor has been stored back into their cartons and Christmas is beginning to show up around the downstairs!I actually was able to clear out 2 Christmas cartons, but , goodness, so much yet to do!
Today I worked on four various arrangements.. something I could do seated.. I wish I was springing back in strength and capacity to get things done,But between discomfort and a weak back from being so ill for 3 weeks, things are pretty hard. I cannot stand up straight without pain and am so weak I cannot keep it straight for long. Oh, my, I am my mother!Maybe, tomorrow I will have a few photos to share, but also, I am looking forward to attending church. I’ve missed three weeks! 
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling a little better. And Praise God there's no cancer! By the way, I love your header photo! I am unusually ready for Christmas this year. I am desperate for the lights and decor and smells... I bet going through your Christmas boxes brightened your spirit!
ReplyDeleteOh my, you have had a time of it! That's a mighty big gall stone! I hope it won't cause you more problems while you wait for it to be completely removed. I know you are anxious to have the family there. I am sure they will be happy to be with you, but I bet they don't expect you to do too much decorating and hard work under the circumstances. Pace yourself and rest when you can so you can enjoy your family when they come. That is the most important thing. God bless you and take care.
ReplyDeleteI had gall stones a few years ago and they took out my gall bladder. During the surgery one of the gall stones got loose and they had to put a stent in to catch any others that might have gotten loose. The surgeon that put in the stent is from my hometown and my parents know his parents and this year in my pre-K class, I have his nephew. Is that fun or what? Amyway...gall stones hurt so bad. They told me I had a lot...not big ones like you have, but they very very surprised I was not in more pain. I felt great once my gall bladder was gone. I hope you feel better soon. It is not any fun at all. I will be praying for you. God will get you through. Your pictures are beautiful! I am glad you were feeling well enough to decorate. I pray you are all better soon. Have a nice weekend. ♥
