I'm still alive :-)

Ok all, it's been such a long time since I've written an update so here it goes... Sam has been gone for 2 weeks and has started his training in Texas. He is keeping very busy, but we still get to talk for at least 5 minutes every day. Everything with me was pretty normal until this past weekend. It started off with some lower back pain which I though was just sciatica problems... so I went in to the Chiropractor on Monday then had a doctor's appointment afterward. Nothing (the medicine they prescribed) seemed to help. By Tuesday I couldn't walk, sit, use the bathroom, or lay without pain. Sam called later that afternoon and insisted on calling a friend and an ambulance. I said no, and proceeded to have a break down... To make a long story short, He won and I rode up to the ER in an ambulance and spend the next 6 hours up there trying to stop the pain and figure out what was wrong with me. I had a U.T.I, sciatica problems, and a kidney stone. :-) So they sent me home all drugged up, and I spent the night by the toilet... my body did not like the drugs! Anyway the kidney stone is way too large for me to pass, so I am having surgery this Monday to remove it. I've never had surgery before and I'm kinda nervous. Sam can not leave his training, and my mom can't come, so it's definitely going to be a lesson on sole dependence on God. I jokingly told Sam I expected the car to break down once he left, but not me! :-) I would appreciate your prayers, my surgery will be Monday morning and hopefully it will be an out-patient surgery. I hope I didn't forget anything... these med's are making me really loopy! ;-) If anyone wants to come visit, and be my nurse just let me know!

Well Mr. Osborne it may not be kidney stones after all.
