Well, I spent half of my mother's day in the hospital. At about 2:30 in the morning on Saturday, I woke up with really bad pain in my right side. I tried to make the pain go away for about an hour, but nothing worked. I even called my dad to get any suggestions from him. He of course told me I needed to go to the hospital. I knew that too, I just didn't want to be admitted because I had two really important things going on on Saturday. But the pain just got worse, so Angie drove me to the hospital. She's so great!
Long story short, I had MORE kidney stones. I had one small stone and one large stone in my ureter. They had to put another stent in. This time they took the large stone out when the put the stent in. That's good, because now I don't have to have them shocked. That's no fun at all. Well, the next day they said that I would be released in the morning and all they had to do was an ultrasound to see if the stones were gone. It took them until 11:30 to even do the two minutes ultrasound. I was finally released at noon. I get my stent removed in two weeks. That much better than 3 months like last time.
Chris and Angie (and the kids) picked me up about 1:15. When I got closer to the truck I could see a bouquet of flowers in the driver's seat! :) They had gotten me flowers and a beautiful card for mother's day. That was definitely a good end to my bad day.
After we left the hospital they wanted to go get ice cream one more time before we headed to Frankfurt. German ice cream (eis as they call it here) is soooooo good!
Well, after ice cream we went home and I took a shower and got our things around for our night in the hotel. Once our bags were packed we headed off to Frankfurt. Angie was flying out to go home the next morning.
That was pretty much my Mother's Day. It turned out to be a very good mother's day. My flowers are still alive and kicking and they're SO fragrant. Anyways....
I'm so blessed to be a mom. My kids may drive me crazy at time, but in the end I love them more than anything. Being a mom is probably one of my greatest privileges! I thank you Chris for giving me that blessing.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOMS!!!
