I love hospitals...

While I was home for Christmas, I had my gallbladder taken out.
Don't I look beautiful all prepped for surgery?!


This is a picture of my dad and I leaving the hospital after both getting our gallbladders out! What a great daddy/daughter date!

And here we are at home, showing off our battle wounds!


Well, apparently I couldn't stay away from the hospital for too long... Only two weeks after coming back to Utah and fours weeks after my gallbladder surgery I was back at a Hospital. This time it was the Provo Hospital and I started in the Emergency Room at 1:30am.

After throwing up a few times, getting lots of pain medicine through an IV, and getting a Cat Scan, it was determined that I had Appendicitis!! I couldn't believe it! I told them I had just had my gallbladder out, how could I have Appendix problems too?!! But by 6am I was being taken to the operating room.

Here is a picture of me after the surgery. I look so drugged!! Kimber and my sister Suzanne were with me through it all. They said after surgery I was really loopy.. I don't really remember much though.

Now I am recovering and praying that I don't have to visit any more hospitals anytime soon. I can't believe I had TWO surgeries and lost TWO internal organs in ONE month!
