Thank God that's over.

I just had another really serious gall stone attack. it lasted about three days and i actually ended up in hospital over night so they could control the pain. The funny thing is, it wasn't, by far, the worst attack i've had. i've had a couple that were far worse and lasted far longer. I'm not sure what happened... almost seems like my tolerance and patience for the thing has gone down. I'm thinking that not having 500-600 hours of sick leave credits likely made the difference... too bad those don't come with you job to job. I've only been in this job for two months now, so being out with this has cost me all my sick leave, and most of my overtime and vacation leave. Thank God our Christmas holidays don't come out of our vacation leave- they close the office down and we all get automatic paid holidays. Yay! now that's a perk!

I'm feeling better today, good in fact, and i"m back at work. yay! It feels great to be doing paperwork. Who would've thought? hmph.

The one thing that has come from allthis, is that i'll be having surgery on Nov 24th... thank God for short term disability, so i will still have income... but it means i"ll only have like 3 weeks of work left this year.... hmmm... I wonder how restful it will be? I hear people can recoup pretty quick from this when their gall bladders aren't infected... and mine's not, yay! my white blood count was normal, yay!!!

I had been fighting having this surgery, resisting it tooth and nail... but God works in mysterious ways, and He works all things out for his Glory in the end...

God bless you all.

I am's Child.
