DAUGHTER COMING HOME

A few scattered showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy with temperatures reaching the upper 70s. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

The past few days I have been having some weird pain under my right ribs that radiates to my back. I am sure I no what it is. I have gall stones and I think my gall bladder is inflamed. Every since the Memorial Day weekend when all we did was eat and eat stuff that probably was a lot higher in fat content than I use to eating. The gall bladder does not do well with fat. So this morning I ate bland and I had a bland lunch and thing seemed a little better. I have a gastrointerologist that I see once every other year or so so I called him first and the nurse said that if I already no I have gall stones and the gall bladder is acting up then it might need to be removed so I would have to see a surgeon. So I told her I would call my primary care physician and he could advise me. So I did that and I got an appointment to see him right after work. He said that the gall bladder was not "hot" enough to remove, probably is just inflamed like I thought. He told me to eat a "NO FAT" diet and he gave me a prescription for an antibiotic. I have to see him in two weeks for my regular checkup. So I will get my routine blood work done and then see him and we can decide then if my gall bladder should come out. So that was my excitement for the day. After dinner I went to the pharmacy to have the prescription filled and I took my first dose.

I got a picture text of my cousin and her daughter standing with their cruise ship in the background, they are cruising right now out of Puerto Rico their second stop on their cruise. They already had been to St. Marteens. I have been to Puerto Rico and St. Thomas but not St. Marteens. Right after I got out of college that was the hot place to go Puerto Rico. I went with 5 girl friends. We had quite a time. Mostly shopping and hitting night clubs. That was back when I think it was a little safer to go out at night in these popular college places. Never heard about any college students disappearing back then.

My daughter is coming home tonight from CT for good. So I am happy about that.
