Well we got the first 4 of many I am sure to come (of medical bills from my surgery). any guesses on what the first 4 added up to???
$33,000. Holy moly. No that is not our portion. Although our portion is alot, I'm thankful it's not THAT much. Yikes is all I can say...
Stay tuned for david's hospital stint and rehab, medical supplies etc. Don't you wish you were us?? It is fun to be us, we are a barrel of broken body laughs over here..

Another new temple.....
In phoenix. i read Deseret news from slc every day and i just read that Pres monson announced yesterday that there will be a new temple in phoenix.Yippee!!!!
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
Had my follow up appointment.
Well thanks to Tina I was able to go to my doctor's appt. All is well. The doctor yelled at me aain for doing tooooooo much. Every one seems to be on my case about that lately. Anyhow, I have to rest (no driveing , lifting, cleaning, cooking,etc) for a few more weeks. The pathology reports came back from everything they took out, and no cancer. They found a Polyp which can be cancer, but came back okay. So a total of 3 polyp or tumors were found during this whole process, and they still have no idea what caused all the bleeding, pain, cramping and such. They say it could be one of the things or all combined, so any way you look at, I don't have to deal with it so who cares!
David has surgery tomorrow and then we will be working on his recovery.
I have to say this is going to be a stinky summer with both of us not 100% and he can't go swimming. Somehow we will manage, we always do!

I love Sundays
Sundays are so gret becuase we get to o church. In my opinion, Stake conference is even better. We never miss it. We really enjoy the talks and the spirit and all of it. We live in a great ward and so it is fun to be around everyone you enjoy. Thanks to our friends, for saving us a seat upfront, so we didn't have sit as long with my hurt body, and David's bad leg. Thanks Thompson family. We have a great Stake president and each of the speakers were wonderful!

10 years ago:May 1998 - Getting ready for my upcoming nuptials. David was in Idaho. I was working a million hours and trying to get ready to move to Idaho. All the wedding planning was done.

Update.....
Alrighty my friends. This post is for you. I am receiving calls, cards, Flowers, Gifts, Housekeepers, help picking up kidss, frozen treats, meals and emails from all my loved ones. THANK YOU. Thanks for the prays, concern and everything else on my behalf!!!! I love you each one more than the next. I wanted to explain a little what is going on. By nature I am very private and don't share things but with the ones I really trust, but here is the scoop so everyone knows it from ME, not second hand.
feb 05- my doctor does vaginal/bladder reconstruction and wants to do a hysterectomy because my female stuff isn't working right. bleeding irregular, my vaginal wall and everything literally hanging out of me,pain from endometriosis ( very mild).... all caused from having babies. my body was not made to give birth or be pregnant!!
2years go by in pain everymonth pretty severe, but manageable.
Feb 07 I started with irregular periods so irregular that my cycle has lasted about 25 days a month. i know you you women are feeling that pain!! ha-ha. That was along with the excruciating pain. Along with the excruciating pain, nasty narcotic drugs on occasion to ease the pain. I have been throwing up and all that goes with that!
Fast forward to April 07 I went to the ob/gyn and he says your system is out of whack, you should have had the hysterectomy done a long time ago. but give me more pain meds and sends me on my way.
June o7 make an appt to be seen, because it is sooooooo unbearable, and they schedule my appt for Oct 07 yes 4 months because the west valley of phoenix is so busy with babies.
Sept07 Im now 30 pounds heavier from one year before and I land in the ER because I am bleeding so severly I don't even want to describe. they load me with drugs again and send me home. They get an emerency appt to my OB for 2 days later and they start running tests, blood, ultrasound, etc. They find a mass in my stomach and it didnt look good. So she sets me up for 2 different biopsies( with no pain med, why???? they seem to give it to me so freely) and they find a tumor in my uterus as well as on the cervix, and send it to the lab. She says it will take up to 2 weeks.. it took 2 days and everything was clean as in NO CANCER. What cancer? The doctor then says, I was sure you had Uterine cancer. oh my gosh!!!! so she runs more tests and determines the best thing again is a Hysterectomy and Re do the vaginal reconstuction, tune it up a bit. so i schedule for nov 07, then dec 07 Then feb 08 and THEN March 30th! Its all done and I am recovering. I am in so much pain, and will be down on the couch, on bed rest for about 3 more weeks, no lifting for 12 weeks and in about 6 months they said I should be back to sort of normal. My cute hunk is taking care of things. we have had many meals come in, flowers, cards, calls, a new soft pair of jammies to recover in. a delicious frozen treat broght by,prayers, a cute friend to clean, a cute friend to fold laundry, a sister in law help clean, a sister take kids to school on surgery day. Thanks to all for helping me recover faster,and helping my man with things since he is still working full time from home too. I feel very blessed for all your love and support

Sept07 Im now 30 pounds heavier from one year before and I land in the ER because I am bleeding so severly I don't even want to describe. they load me with drugs again and send me home. They get an emerency appt to my OB for 2 days later and they start running tests, blood, ultrasound, etc. They find a mass in my stomach and it didnt look good. So she sets me up for 2 different biopsies( with no pain med, why???? they seem to give it to me so freely) and they find a tumor in my uterus as well as on the cervix, and send it to the lab. She says it will take up to 2 weeks.. it took 2 days and everything was clean as in NO CANCER. What cancer? The doctor then says, I was sure you had Uterine cancer. oh my gosh!!!! so she runs more tests and determines the best thing again is a Hysterectomy and Re do the vaginal reconstuction, tune it up a bit. so i schedule for nov 07, then dec 07 Then feb 08 and THEN March 30th! Its all done and I am recovering. I am in so much pain, and will be down on the couch, on bed rest for about 3 more weeks, no lifting for 12 weeks and in about 6 months they said I should be back to sort of normal. My cute hunk is taking care of things. we have had many meals come in, flowers, cards, calls, a new soft pair of jammies to recover in. a delicious frozen treat broght by,prayers, a cute friend to clean, a cute friend to fold laundry, a sister in law help clean, a sister take kids to school on surgery day. Thanks to all for helping me recover faster,and helping my man with things since he is still working full time from home too. I feel very blessed for all your love and support

Still here...
I am still here at the hospital. Iam so lonely, I never get alone time like this and i don't particularly like it. Thanks for coming by kelly, michelle and sean, and the flowers that have been brought in. Flowers make a hospital room a little less, blaaaaaaaah. It sure is a nice hospital, but with boys out at the father son campout and Ashley at the Bowes for babysitting group I wish I was out doing more fun things like they all get too. Thanks mom and dad, mom t and katy, sierra and ward family for all the calls, prayers cards, you're all too cute for thinking of me. I'mdoing well, although i was suppose to go home today, so hopefully tomorrow will be the day. 4 days is toooooooooo long. Love you all for thinking of me.
