Today's Bible Reading- Isaiah Chapters 43-45.
Good morning, my friends. I hope you're well. Our forecast for today: 88°, fog with eventual sunshine, 20% chance of rain, good air quality, light smoke hazard, winds are calm at the moment and humidity is sitting at 98%.
It's a quiet morning this morning. I didn't want to roll out of bed, but I could smell the coffee. My brain wanted some. My body did not want to comply.
School did start yesterday. What a beautiful day for it, too. It poured down all day long. The county next to us had a tornado warning. We had a flood advisory. Thank You, Jesus, the fish tank was filled up from all the rain we had! It was almost at overflow capacity. I'm grateful for it, though. The fish needed some extra water.
My day didn't go as planned yesterday. I had wanted to go out, but it was just too rainy to go out to the mall. Around noon, I made a smoothie and got about half of it down before I remembered that Mom had asked me to fold some clothes for the donation bin. I went into the den and was organizing as I folded clothes and such when the pain hit.
It was intense. It was the same as the other two times this past month. Right in the center of my torso. It felt like a knife had been pushed in and was being corkscrewed through my innards. It was awful. The other two times I've felt this was at night when I was in bed. This happened when I sat down and was folding clothes. I'm not sure how long it lasted. I ended up in the bathroom, and I threw up. It lessened for a little bit, but then it came back.
Long story short, Mom convinced me to go to the ER, and after an ultrasound was done, we found the problem. Gallstones.
Why this happened now, I don't know, but the Lord's allowed it for a reason. This morning's Bible reading just reassured me that He's got my back. Thank the Lord it wasn't something to do with my heart!
There are supposed to be ways to dissolve gallstones without surgery, so I'll be looking into that option today. The ER did refer me to a surgeon, but they said that I don't have to have my gallbladder removed. The doctor on call told me he'd lived with gallbladder issues for five years before deciding to have his removed. So, it's nice to know that surgery isn't necessary.
Today's goals are finding something to help dissolve these gallstones, ledgers, feeding the fish, and just resting a little. I'm pretty tired from the ordeal yesterday.
That's all for now, peeps. I see it's time to feed the fish. Gracie is also mad that I didn't cave in to her demands this morning. Love you all and until next time, stay safe my friends.
