February has been an interesting month for us. With sickness, travel and then my body deciding it needed more adventure - I became ill with pancreatitis and was hospitalized this past week - while Dave was in China of all places. I am really thankful that I have made such wonderful friends here since our move 18 months ago. A good friend stepped up to the plate and hosted Natalee for a few days till Dave got home. Another took care of our cats, took in the mail and picked up the house a bit. Then another friend gave me a ride home from the hospital and even let me borrow a coat since my winter coat was left at the doctors office - because I was transported from there to the hospital - without my coat. I am lucky they remembered my purse.
It was a very painful experience - one I do not want to repeat. Thank goodness for pain med's and anti-nausea medications. Don't think I would have done so well without them. Although they did starve me for several days - since the treatment for pancreatitis is to rest the bowels with no food or water. Talk about being thirsty. Then they let me have a clear liquid diet - mmm mmm good, so filling and tasty - yeah right - hehehe.
So keep your fingers crossed that I don't have another repeat episode and that this was a one off thing. Since I don't have any of contributing factors that cause pancreatitis. So here's to it being just something strange.
And now - we were suppose to go see the Chieftains tonight for Dave's birthday - Nat has developed some stomach bug - so we cancelled the sitter and will be staying in tonight. I just hope we find someone who would like to use our tickets.
