Alot going on...

Well, gosh, the past few months seem to be so hectic. Here is some of the stuff we did over the past few months:

Huck was deployed alittle while over the summer. When he came home he took 25 days leave, his parents visited and we all spent a week in orlando. We visited Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Mgm Studios, and Ripleys. When we came home we visted St. Augustines Castillo de San Marco, and The St. Augustine Lighthouse.

The kids started school, we held Christian back in 5th grade because he was struggling. Elijah started the 1st grade. Christian is doing fair in school, I want him to do better, but he is so disorganized and we are having issues with him misplacing homework and such. Elijah is just plain stubborn, he doesn't like school at all, he would rather stay home and be a super hero all day long.

I have been having issues with my gallbladder, bad pain if I eat fried/greasy foods...even lean red meats. Most things I eat now, even lean stuff, I feel something going on in my gallbladder/liver area.

I went to the doctor and got an ultrasound, ultrasound said my gallbladder was normal, but my liver had fatty deposits (from being overweight I assume).

I recently noticed a small red spot on one of my breasts, I noticed over a week or two, it got bigger and the skin started flaking...so now I am fearful it may be cancer.

I followed up with the doctor about my gallbladder and for a referral to see a weight loss surgeon and I also showed him the spot on my breast, he looked concerned. He gave me a prescription for some cream, incase it is a skin irritation, but also wants me to have a sonagram...so that will be scheduled soon.

My Doctor said that the gallbladder ultrasound likely showed nothing because I was on a fast. He said there was a test they could do to check my gallbladder function, and that with my referral to a weight loss doctor, they would run all those tests before performing any surgery.

So, now I am just waiting for the referrals (they mail them for some reason). I hope to be cancer free and skinny (or just down 80-100 pounds) by this time next year, lol. The only thing I would see to be holding me back from gastric bypass surgery would be breast cancer...I pray I don't have it....I am praying for just a skin irritation.

Huck will be deploying in 2 weeks, he will be gone for 7 months...I am already feeling the stress of it. I watched a video about missing someone and broke down in tears already, and he hasn't even left yet. Gosh, I haven't had to deal with a long deployment in years...since before Elijah was born...and 7 months is long...I fear the military will make it longer than 7 months. With the war and such, they have been doing those things, extending deployments.

I will update my blog as I find out more.
