Another ER visit.

Yesterday, John got done with work early. I had been packing all day, so we decided to go out and enjoy the beautiful evening somewhere. We took my nephew Aaron with us, and we set out. We ended up at Bennigan's for dinner. That was good. We had been waiting for a few minutes before the waitress came to our table.. the manager ended up coming over and offering us a free appetizer and free dessert since we had waited so long. That was nice of them.

We decided we were going to see a movie and decided on Hancock. It was good.. in the beginning. We saw about 30 minutes of it, and then I started to get horrible pains in my abdomen. They steadily got worse and got to the point where I was lightheaded, dizzy, sweating, and could barely speak. I ended up calling my surgeon's after hours line, and the PA sent me to the ER. Once I got there, I was worse. They got me all in and into a room.. I went to the restroom and passed some significant amounts of gas. I felt a little better after that. They still checked my urine, and I have a UTI. When I was in the ER at the end of May, they had checked my urine then and came back with strep. I had it rechecked with my PCP as recommended, and they said it was clean. I think they may have been wrong and that I have had a UTI this whole time. The PA suspected that I may have had a kidney stone and passed it and that may have been the source of the really bad pain. They gave me some antibiotics, and I was on my way.

I relaxed part of the day today, and we have been packing also. We have most of our own things packed, and we are working on the main parts of the house.. the living room, dining room, and kitchen. We also have to help John's mom and grandmother. It's no small undertaking to move this household. We have two days to work on it this week, then we are planning to pack more and start the move on Monday, July 14.

We are finally excited about the move. It's our own house. Our own home. We can hang things on the walls and paint things the colors we want. Small things are going to be so exciting for us.
