Everybody Poops...

So...if any of you are followers of my facebook status, you will know that I was fortunate enough to have a colonoscopy Friday. Before I go into that, I guess I will give you a little update on what has been going on, because lets face it, colonoscopies aren't something that are on the usually on the yearly to-do list for this 26 year-old.

*Disclaimer* If you don't want to hear about my nasty tummy, don't read this post...

Anyway, I started to have really bad stomach pain shortly before Christmas. Thinking that it was just the flu or something that I ate I didn't think to much of it, until the pain kept getting worse, and worse. Then the nausea and diarrhea started. TMI, I know. But don't we all share a little too much on our blogs sometimes?

Monday I started having severe pains in my stomach, so they put me on a liquid diet. Last Tuesday, the pain in my stomach got SO bad, I couldn't get up off the bathroom floor. I couldn't even keep the liquids down, so I ended up in the hospital on IV's. They let me come home Thursday night, just in time to finish my prep for my colonoscopy. Which "cleans you out" literally. Friday, I had the scope, where they took some biopsies, but didn't find anything too substantial. And today, I am back to square one.

I won't know anything for a couple of days as far as the colonoscopy goes, but all of the other tests that they have done have come up negative. I had some more blood work done today, so we shall see what happens within the next few days! I am trying to stay positive, but I have now lost over 10 pounds in less than a month, and I just want to be able to eat normal again!!! But I will keep you all posted!

Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. Thanks to my family, for staying home..even though it was super hard for you to be so far away. And thanks to Ryan for staying by my side!

MN Hockey...Ole'

Sorry to all my many numerous blog followers....I say that sarcastically, that I have not been keeping up on my blog. But winter time is a very busy time for this Minnesota girl! So let me catch you up on the happenings over the past couple of weeks. New Years Eve was definitely different. I stayed in the little town in St. James to ring in 2010. But different can be and was very good! That weekend I went to a Hockey game with Ryan, Steph, and Cody. Cody would be the one on the end not smiling or looking at the camera. Anyway....Hockey was SO fun. Every time there was a minute left in the quarter the announcer would come on and say "one minute remaining...one minute. You betcha!!!" I laughed so hard! Good times. That's why I love it here...sporting events. In two weeks I will be attending "midget wrestling" or "little people" wrestling. How ever you want to put it...it will be awesome. Not quite an Olympic sport, but its gonna be awesome. After that, there will be the golf course on the lake. Yes awesome as well, and don't you worry, photos will be posted.

If any of you from the desert would like to come visit, and get a load of what it feels like to have the boogers freeze to the inside of your nose...well, book your tickets today!!! I have an air mattress calling your name!!! I will even buy your breakfast. (doughnuts and juice)
