How about that?..

What happens when you are forced to stop your life, literally in its tracks and steer the bull in an entirely opposite direction. I'm not going to say I'm sorry but my absence from my blog has been a challenging experience.

From the third of December to the ninth I was laid out in a hospital bed. Unknowing of what my problem was. When I found out it was nothing short of complicated, a simple procedure could fix it but why was it so complex. Why the extended stay when it's usually a one day stay? 

I know I'm probably confusing everyone, long story short. I had my gallbladder removed on the 6th. The doctors knew what the probably was but waited two days to take action. 

So along came Tuesday, I just wanted to go home, hold my son and watch Zootopia, Yeah I said Zootopia, but what your child want to watch you know. For my health, I had to suffer along with what the doctors felt was best. Anyway, Tuesday in the evening they removed the organ sucked it out of my belly button without blinking. 

I awoke in pain but confident that this was over and I could go back to my life. 

I was wrong, turns out those gallstones can leave, escape and move through the common bile duct where they don't belong and because they could not remove it while they were taking out my organ. I had to go in at the crack of dawn on Wednesday and have not only a scope but a catheter balloon shoved down my throat and all the way through my stomach to the duct. 

That only made the pain worse as my throat felt as though it was fisted by a big man hand. They finally two days later sent me home. In pain but cheerful I complied ( except I had to walk from the 1oth floor of this huge hospital to the "orange zone" where my ride had parked.  Talk about hospitality, It was clear that they had enough of me. 

The point, things can happen that make you stop your life and have to hit pause on the forward and take the road waving the red sign be ready for the unexpected because it is all around us. You might think you have a set path and it's clear. No Hunny, life is full of random surprises like the tallest rollercoaster that you could think of.You stop and get off for awhile and its calm but then you're thrown back on and not knowing where it'll take you. This was unexpected and hopefully the last time. I've had my fill of hospitals and surgery for awhile. 

Thanks guys:)
