Catch up

So i haven't written in awhile so where to begin? This week Nate had an exercise and had to work 12 hour shifts. Monday i get a call from NAte around 10:00am to inform me someone was on their way to our house to pick me up so i could take him to the E.R. He wouldn't tell me why until i got there. He was having bad chest pains. So off to the E.R. we went. We sat for 1 hour to get a room, and another hour for the doc to even come in the room. He ordered chest x-rays and again we waited... After the chest x-rays the doctor came in. You could tell he was in a hurry and wouldn't listen to what Nate was saying. He told Nate his chest was fine without any good explanations. So we left feeling worried and annoyed. So this morning i awoke at 7 am to a phone call of Nate telling me hes going back to the E.R. He says i don't have to go but of course i'm worried. This time we didn't have to wait as long and they actually did some blood tests and hooked him up to a heart monitor. The doctor was really nice and explained things to us simple minded folk :) It ended up being Pleurisy... Pleurisy is swelling (inflammation) of the thin layers of tissue (pleura) covering the lungs and the chest wall... copy and paste gotta love it. So it has been a very fun week. On happier note i got a story of my cats... sad i know... So i went grocery shopping and the first thing i do when i get home is put away my bread because my cats always get into it. well i went over to a friends house that night and took hotdogs and buns. when i got back i forgot to put the buns away... see where this is going?I woke up and found the bag of buns in my living room with holes all over it and the bread inside torn to crumbs. i know it was Deshawn... i just can't prove it. And thats my cat story... even as i'm typing hes sitting on my desk staring at the screen... he's such a weird little thing. We went over to our friends house tonight and they have the Wii fit game. so i did it and found out my weight... I have gained a total of 18 lbs... thats 7 lbs since my last doctors appt... i don't think that is very healthy. but what do i know. it is my first one. I have been walking more this week, i found a place behind the softball park where i can let the dogs off the leash and just walk. They love it. i haven't seen them so excited in awhile. I took 3 walks this week. For me that's good but i do need to go more. I guess thats all for now... sorry nothing exciting. for my one and only reader :) love you kari

yOU NEED to send this out to more people you silly girl!!!! You can just do what I do and send your blog address to everyone on your e-mail address book begging them to take a look. That way I am not the only one reading. You will be so happy though that you did this when you look back..I am doing you a favor here. What did the Drs. do for Nate then? Is there anything they can do?
