A Time to Rest

A Time to Rest...for Mommy...Not Alex!!!

So, last week Iwas going to try really hard to update my blog. Let's just say I was slightly inconvienced. Here's what happend:

Wednesday
8:30 pm Tammy starts to have stomach pains
9:00 pm Jeff tells Tammy she just needs to poop :)
9:30 pm Tammy thinks it is much more than that
9:35pm Tammy calls her sister Vicky and asks, "What side is your appendix on?"
9:36 pm Vicky says she is on her way to take Tammy to ER
10:15 pm Vicky picks up Tammy...Tammy not happy about having to sit in car (very uncomfortable)
10:30pm-1:15 am Tammy sits very impatiently in a wheelchair in ER while she waits for her name to get called. During this tine she is trying very hard not to 1.Cry 2.Convince the doctors that her pain level is higher than everyone elses who is waiting!
1:30 am Finally get called! Doctor seems to need to push on Tammy stomach several times, even though Tammy cried out in pain the first time he touched her right side!
2:00 am Tammy has to drink a very large glass of ocean tasting water.
2:45 am Tammy finally finishes. Has to wait 2 hours for CT scan. During this time, Tammy finally gets pain medication and becomes slightly loopy. Jeff and Mom Meyering arrive. Vicky goes home to bed.
4:30 am CT scan
4:45 Doctor says definately surgery. Appendix is very inflammed!
Time becomes very blurry from here on out...Tammy gets taken into surgery around 6:00am...Tammy much more conscious around 9:00 am.

Spend Thursday in Hospital
Friday - home by noon

Now - slightly sore...can't bend much...can not pick up anything weighing more than 15 pounds (including Alex) for 2 weeks. Cannot drive for 1 week. Now Tammy needs to be babysat along with Alex!

So... I am now resting ALOT and Jeff follows me around telling me "Don't do that." I should be able to get updated on my blog now....I don't do much besides watch TV and hang out on the computer!!!!
