You see when they went in to get my gallbladder (because I had gallstones) they didn't notice a few little stones escaped and consequently I had to go back into the hospital and for another procedure to grasp the "leftover" stones. So now I am back to recovering and things are looking much better.
However, I must admit I learned something during this "first" experience with surgery and the hospitals. They are horrible. If you have never been admitted into the hospital unexpectedly consider it a great blessing. It's a scary time. During my first night I had a slight panic attack because I just didn't know what to expect or how to handle things. I had never felt so far from reality then right then. And then the worst part is the constant waking up every 3 hours for blood work (which I hate needles) and blood pressure/temperature checks. It's absolutely insane. But I do know one thing that I learned friends and family make all the difference. It was such an encouragement to have phone calls, flowers, gifts and cards. So just know that if you know someone who is in the hospital or planning on going those thoughts mean so much to them.
**On a positive side note during good and bad times I was able to return to Charlotte, NC for a very good friend's wedding and some great times with my friends that I miss dearly (but soon hope to return to)!!
Congratulations Kim and Paul !

Hey girl. I hope you're feeling better. I have a friend right now, female, who is having gallbladder problems too but she's pregnant and they don't want to have to take it out until after the baby is born. She has a lot of pain at different times. I really hope you'll be better now.
Thanks Brian, I can completly feel her pain, it HURTS! By the way I checked out your church's website, where are you?? No pic on there or any video feeds? I was disappointed because I was hoping to hear you leading P & W. :(
Well, we're actually in the process of getting ready to update and completely overhaul our WHOLE web page. It's gonna be awesome when our guy finishes. I'm assuming that they'll be picture, video links, etc. in about a month or 2. come back and see it.
I had no idea you had to go through all that after Kim's wedding. I hope the pain is going away and you can finally relax. I hate hospitals, but everyone of us eventually ends up there at one time or another. Hope you'll be back to your sunny self in no time. It was great to see you last weekend. Lots of love,
Yelena :)
Hey there Sara! I just found your site! I hope all is well...and wanted to say "hi"
Thanks Candice. By the way I'm very familiar with Charlotte if you need any pointers :, I just loved it there and hope to return soon. What part of town did you end up moving to??
I ended up moving to North Charlotte (the University Area...near the Verizon Wireless...and the new Northlake Mall)...I would love to hear of some great churches there!
Thanks girl!
