Gonna Blog----ya sure you are

I had so much fun setting things up to start bloggin' and then life got busy. Well, that's my story and I'm stickin to it.

Saturday,December 13th I started not feeling so well but tried to push on, ya know walk it off kinda thing. (so much to get done) But as the day went on it got worse. Cancelled a party I was suppose to go to and went to bed with pain killers instead. Off and on over the next week the pain came and went, almost like a contraction (for those of you that have experienced those) I would rather have a baby everyday of the week than go through this pain to many times. (have I mentioned-getting old sucks)

Anyway, Friday came and I had talked Jime into going away to our oldest daughters for the weekend with Carter and that I was fine. I even went Carolling at church just to prove how fine I was. Saturday morning though I was definitely not feeling so hot, and if I could just hurry the guys out the door (at 5:00am) and get back to bed then I could wake-up next time and I'm sure I would feel fine. Not happening. After doing the china bowl yawn all day Sherry finally convinced me to go to the ER by then I was pretty sure I had dehydrated. Yup, just as Dr. Barb had said dried right out, but still trying to woof.
So after 7 hours of saline and a good drug supply to get me through the next few days, I went back home.
Monday I went to have an ultra sound and it was confirmed by the very nice tech,(off the record of course) that if I wanted to avoid the ER then I should eat very carefully over the holidays as I had gallstones. Apparently over 40 and Fat are 2 prerequisites to growing gallstones, in my case over 50
My Dr informed me that the gallbladder must come out and is sending me back to my surgeon( who I had told I hoped I never had to see him again.)


Now having lost a week, had really put me behind for Christmas as this year everything was homemade. Nighties, quilts x3, aprons for Nana Molly and GG, (which the girls had to do and they did)


and my own Christmas quilt and wall hangings, baking, Nuts 'n' Bolts, how was I ever going to get it done.

Well, got 1 nightie done for Jayme before I got sick (so Jime could take it with him), She loves Dinosaurs--wants to be a paylientologist (?)




Birthday quilt for my niece Dawn, Dec 10th--already behind.

cut out quilts for Mya and Sadie, aaahhhhh. More drugs.


I won a quilt at my quilting group and it was the exact colors that I was making Carters quilt from. (Thank you Lord for that-1 down).

Christmas day I was washing the girls quilts to take to them later that day as we were all eating supper together at Lorne's in-laws. So they were literally hot off the press.
This is Sadie, showing part of the front and part of the back. Pink and Pruple and thats it!!!!


Mya happy as long as it has some blue.


What an awesome time it was to spend together, the part of our family we had with us this year.
See what happens when you don't behave---Jime

Done! (until next year-start all over again) Are ya sorry I'm back bloggin? lol . Remember you came here!!!!

The good thing for me this year is that while you'all have maybe gained weight from to much turkey and baking. I LOST 10 lbs. Woo Hoo (and I'm not going to find it again.!!!!!! )
