I was taken into hospital on the 15th and havnt been allowed back to work yet. Im so bored and i still have just over 2 weeks left to go.It was really nice though to have a couple of JTs friends staying last weekend and i even made it to church on Easter sunday. Every other day ive been off though have included highlights like doing the online jigsaw and watching murder she wrote. Unfortunatly i have now missed the last 5 minutes of three episodes. One of them my mom rang, the second time i fell asleep and woke up to find Clifford the dog, who im guessing was not there as a guest role and thirdly my district nurse arrived. Aparantly ive got to go to the doctor tomorrow as the largest wound isnt healing as well as they would have liked. Its still weeping and its inflamed. It may mean that ive just got to take more antibiotics so that shouldnt be too bad. The staples have been out for about 6 days now so that in itself is good. They removed 50 eek. They have left some lovely scaring but hey it will take the focus off my stretch marks lol.
Mom and dad are arriving tomorrow evening. That will be really lovely to see them and it also means that i get some help in writing out all the wedding invites. They wont be bringing the dog up with them this time as its not been such a rush for them to get up here so lovely Max will be having a short holiday at the kennels.
JT is still being a complete star and looking after me very well. He really is wonderful.
Right im going to play a couple of games online. Live action games on shockwave are fab. You can play Subhunt(online battleships) against other people and you can also play pool. Hours of fun guaranteed. At some point tonight i will most likely be playing solitair showdown on MSN with JT as we have 2 computers in the study. We spend far to long on that game lol

I was really nervous as i was being wheeled down the theater. Im not sure if it was the drugs but for some reason i felt it was right and proper to tell the surgeon that i wasnt wearing any pants, so that he wasnt shocked when he lifted my gown <blush> he just smiled. They must be used to strange patients lol
A couple of hours later i woke to find that 1- i was still alive hoorah, 2 – i couldnt move my arms and 3 my mouth was really dry. I think i was able to say that as i remember an oriental looking man telling me he will sort out my precious lips. ???????? Next thing i know im back on the ward and really need a wee. I love at this point that i really dont care who sees my bottom and when i decide that i cant wee in the bed pan i really must attempt to use the proper toilet. The nurse during this time and even at later points when its visiting time tries in vain to cover bottom but alas i dont think it really works. It was so great to see my parents and JT the next morning when i woke. Thursday evening mom helped me to shower (Thanks mom, i know i was a pain) and i was also finally allowed to eat something. Those two pieces of toast were the best thing i have ever eaten in my life.
I didnt leave the hospital until monday lunchtime. I had been in for 6 days. When they removed my Appendix it was apparantly severe and it really had needed removing. It was also trapped behind the bowel so instead of it being removed by keyhole they needed to make a large cut in my stomach. I currently have 4 cuts. 1 that is about an inch, 2 that are about 2 inches and 1 that is about 4 inches. They are all held together by staples and getting a little bit sore now. I will be glad when the nurse comes on saturday to remove them.
Im currently staying at JTs so he can look after me. He has been so wonderful and my rock. It felt really wierd not going back to my parents to be looked after but JT is doing a fantastic job and although i know he is exausted he just continues to be there. I look at him and just consider myself so lucky that God put us together.

Well in my last post i said id tell you all about Spain. Spain was really great. The hotel was lovely, the journey there was good although i get a bit nervous. The weather was fantastic, and it was so nice to relax. Even when i got the start of a cold while there i didnt mind as it didnt actually feel as bad as the weather was so nice. Our flight back to Brum was about lunch time on the sunday. The flight back was good apart from that my ears felt like someone was sticking pins in them as my cold was blocking my ears and the air pressure wasnt helping matters. Anyway we arrived in Brum and my dad was there to take us back to my parents for tea before heading off home.
That evening my stomach started to really hurt. I wasnt sure whether it was a bit of a stomach bug to go with my cold or that lovely time of the month. I took some tablets and eventually got to sleep. I was working a 2-8 at work but by 4.30 i had to leave work as i was in so much pain. JT took me home and i headed off to bed. Tuesday for some stupid reason i went into work. I always feel guilty if im off and didnt want them to think i was being lazy.
I was finishing work at 7.30 as it was week four of the marriage prep course at church. My stomach was still really hurting and during the break i said to JT that i was going to have to ring the emergency doctor. The doctor suggested that we pop over to see him at the hospital so he can take a look at what was going on. To be totally honest i just thought he would find i had trapped wind or something. That he would press my stomach, id fart and be sent off home with a red face lol. It wasnt however and so when he said i would have to be admitted i was more than a little shocked. It was going on for about 11ish by this point. Both me and JT were really tired. JTs eyes were getting sore with his contacts and mine were getting sore as i was at this point crying in pain.
It took them 4 attempts to get a needle into my arm and by the time i actually got onto the ward it was after 1am. Poor JT he looked really worried and i felt so bad that he then had to drive home.
The next day i was able to have a quick shower as they said they might have to operate. I was due to have a scan and they needed to work out whether it was my appendix or something else.
By teatime they had confirmed it most likely was my appendix and they would be removing them that evening. I have never broken a bone nevermind had an operation and it was all a bit scary at this point. JT had rang my parents and there were going to be driving up first thing so they could be here which was wonderful. Unfortunatly though the kennels were full so they also had to bring up Max the dog.
Im going to carry on part 2 on another entry so this one doesnt get too big and you also get the chance to have a breather

Or something like that anyway. I was spelling it as i would would say it in my subtle blackcountry tones. Me and JT are currently at my mom and dads as tomorrow morning we have a flight to Spain at 6am. We need to get up about 3.30am so we can get ready and then my dad is taking us to the airport. We are having a short break until sunday so that will be fantastic. Im not looking forward to the flight, but by 9am we should be in sunny Spain. Its going to be lovely and relaxing and i will tell you more about it when i get back as i really should be in bed.
Have a great weekend

And i quote….
"btw i just read ur blog ur on about decoratin and u picked the wallpaper then u say about goin to get legal papers sorted it sounds like thats the wallpaper lol"
Hmmmm to make it clear incase anyone else noticed it. We dont actually need to get legal papers to decorate the bedroom. Its a lovely house but its not exactly a listed building
I did actually mean that its the legal papers for the wedding. Which im sure was unclear as i dont talk about the forcoming wedding very often hee hee.
Thanks mom for pointing it out before i got too many comments in ref to it

I cant believe ive only made 3 posts this year. The time is going really fast, so fast ive now been working out how long the wedding is in days lol
Im now 4 weeks into my new placement, and although its not the most taxing job in the whole world, im actually really enjoying it. I know i will get bored of the boringness…its a word 
but at the moment im really enjoying the getting up and knowing there is nothing taxing going to happen. Its like still being paid for taking a breather from real work. Hope that makes sense. For one week i work 8am-2pm but the downside is, is that the following week i have to work 2-8 plus a saturday. One of those being a 2-8 and the other a 8-2. I do get a day off in the week though so that is excellent and what ive missed, as the town, well city is less busy during the week.
At the moment we are gettting ready to decorate the front bedroom at JTs house. JT got the wallpaper yesturday and also some paint samples. He has also got an appointment sorted for the registrar so that we can get the legal paperwork etc.
Today im at his house as its my day off, JT should be back from work some point this afternoon and then we are off to look at material samples for the curtains. Its also my mission to get address details from some people who we are inviting who we havnt got their info yet.
I really should change the title of my blog as all i seem to talk about its weddings. lol
Right i had better get some stuff done and get out of my PJs hee hee
