Well, it's been quite a week! Dale and I finally moved back to our home and I've just gotten settled back into bed with my new laptop. Just after I had posted my last blog earlier this week my computer screen went blank and crashed. My brother, Ryan, offered to take my laptop in for his IT guy at work to take a look at it, but he said it was not salvageable. Luckily he was able to recover all of my pictures and documents and put them on CD's for me so it wasn't a complete loss.
Dale got me a new HP today and I'm loving it so far. It feels good to be back home, but I left mom and dad's this evening misty-eyed. It has been such a blessing to be able to recuperate with the loving care that only a mama can provide.
I could never thank them enough for all of the support they've offered over the past few months to us. I will certainly miss spending time there.
Dale has completely rearranged our living areas here so that I won't have to use the stairs right now. We've moved our "bedroom" into our formal dining room area and moved our dining room table into our kitchen. It's cozy and will be so much easier on me to not have to tackle stair climbing several times a day.
I got my results back from my gallbladder study and everything looked normal on the test, however the surgeon still thinks I might benefit from having my gallbladder removed and wants me to see a GI specialist for another opinion on it. My labs came back that I had pancreatitis again and they're all puzzled by that as well since pancreatitis is usually only caused from excess drinking of alcoholic beverages! So...I'm supposed to be on a clear liquid diet until the stomach pain clears up and my labs start improving.
Sometimes I feel like it's one step forward and two steps back...and I do get discouraged from time to time, but I'm just taking things a day at a time and trying not to stress out too much. I will see my GI doc next week and see what his recommendations are.
Well, I don't have much to say and I'm tired and in a lot of pain, but wanted to post about getting to move back home after 2 1/2 months of being gone.
Happy Valentine's Weekend to you all!

I'm so glad you are back in your own home...but I can sympathize with you on leaving your mom's. When both of my kids were born, my mother stayed with me for 2 weeks and it absolutely killed me when she left. Like you said, there is just something about the care of a mama. I can't wait to see the new "living arrangements". I'm trying to get Thomas to come up for a visit, but you know how hard headed he is about leaving home...well I hope that you get to feeling better and that all of your pain subsides...I'm still praying for you and you are still on the prayer list. Bro. Mike asked about you last Sunday, so you are not forgotten and thought of on a daily basis. I love you and hope to see you soon.
Hi Mel! I know you have mixed feelings about being at home. I'm sure you will get back in the groove in no time though. At least we are all so much closer than we have been in years past. I love you! Hope your pancreas settles down soon!
Melanie,
I've had you on my mind this week. We will be praying for you. We love you all.
