just a quick update... christmas was a huge success for the jacobs family. we survived many days of seeing our family, and running on little sleep. things were going perfect, until i had emergency surgery.
let me give a little background... ever since i was pregnant with hadley i had these pains that came every 6 moths or so, started at night, and felt like my bra was too tight. they were painful, but i could always sleep them off and wake up the next day and be fine. over the summer they were happening more frequently, and i was going to mention it to my primary at my next physical.
so last week i was experiencing a lot of heartburn, and we went to chili's for dinner on wednesday night and i couldn't eat. i came home and was excited to watch "The Holiday" which is one of my favorite movies. i was starting to experience more pain, and as the night went on, i couldn't sleep and popped more advil than i can count and nothing was helping.
finally at 8 am i told craig i thought it was time to go to the ER.
once at the ER it seemed clear that it was my gallbladder. i had large gallstones, and after many hours there the results of another scan didn't come back good and we were given a 10 minute warning that i would need surgery. everything happened so fast... but at the end of the night, my gallbladder came out and i was resting comfortably.
i was released the next day, and cancelled our new year's party. and up until today i have been very uncomfortable. today i finally feel good... but it was a whopping 18 degrees out today, we just stayed put in our pj's.
i need to upload pics soon for the full christmas post...
