Gastroparersis Attack!
On Friday last week I woke up vomiting, naused and in pain. I went to the local hospital but they sent me home and then I went to Banner Desert Hospital and they sent me home but told me to come back tomorrow if I still had the same symptoms. It really scared me because it reminded me how sick I was for so long I was worried I would be as sick as I was before. I slept sounded Friday evening because Banner had pumped me full of iv meds that night. I woke up Saturday morning with the same thing. I tried to manage it at home for a few hours but managed to get back to the hospital by 11 am and the doctor admitted me to the hospital. I spent the next three days at Banner Desert. I must say the care there is so up and down. I either had really good nurses or really bad nurses. I managed to get a some what decent Hospitalized doctor. He asked if I should consult my GI doc Dr. Faybush but I said I didn't want to bother her. She later called me on Tuesday to check on me. I'm so blessed to have such a great GI doc. She's special and takes good care of me. I'm happy to be home and works been super busy this week but I've managed to stay on top of things. I'm not sure what brought on this attack but it was bazzare that I got sick all of the sudden. It just reminds me that I need to focus on those things that are important in my life.

Fun Times!
I've had some pretty exciting things happening. I've been busy sewing. I made Elizbeth some baby things out of monkey baby material. I made a carseat cover, receiving blanket, headrest for the car seat, and a bunch of other things which turned out really cute. Elizabeth is my step dad's granddaughter. I guess this makes me a Great Step Aunt. I really hate the word step but I wanted to explain.
Last night I decided to go to the water aerobics class at the YMCA. It was so much fun. Most of the ladies in the class are old and fat and seemed to socialize more then work out. LOL But I had fun and the instructor was very good at encouraging me to do my best. I weighed myself the other day. I really have to do something about the weight gain. I am going again to water aerobics this morning on my lunch break from work and cycling tonight. Last night after water aerobics I feel asleep at 8pm I was exhausted and my muscles were a little sore in the morning.
Yesterday, I spent the entire day re-organizing my work files. I needed to do this for several reasons. First the file cabinet racking on the inside had fallen down and all the files had moved to the side. Second, I had files from as far back as 2007. I need to only have the last 3 years in my file cabinet. So I took the file cabinet apart, re-set the bars going horizontal rather then vertical, and pulled out the files. In the process I re-labled a bunch of files. I put all the old files in tubs and labled them 2007- 2009 and divided them into tubs by factory visits or tradeshows. I feel so much better about being organized.
In addition to getting my files organized I've been working on seminar reports and had found several sales reps had not sent in there seminar attendances sheets. I each sales reps a copy of the report in hopes they will send in those attendance sheets. Summer's are slower for me so its a good opportunity to get organized and do reports for people.
My health has been doing really good just a few set backs. I'm on my second round with out a pain patch for three days and I go back on the pain patch for another three days. The Clanodine patch seems to be helping. I will stay on the Clanodine patch for an addition 4 weeks after I'm done with the pain patch. My Psychiatrist was disappointed in my pain specialist because she felt he should have done the detoxing not her. Nurse Particioner Gail Ziv is one of the best Psychiatrist I've ever seen. She really knows her stuff. I would recommend her to anyone.
I'm very excited that I will be going to Los Angeles in September to visit friends. I'm excited to stay at my favorite Courtyard Marriott next to the airport. This will be my first trip in a long while. I'm going to meet up with an old friend from college Kyle. I will also see another friend from my old Thousand Oaks 5th ward Rick. And on Sunday and Monday I will be head to Orange County to visit Jennifer. My dear old friend of 20 years. I love Jen. She recently lost her mother to breast cancer and also her grandmother but i forget what happened. Jen is like family to me. I love her like a sister. Its funny how we have friends like that after 20 years. Man I feel so old.
