Wednesday is Wonderful

I have already been fussed at by my Mom for not updating after my doctor visit so I guess I better get to it!

I went to the doctor yesterday afternoon. The MRI was normal so that is good. However, that means that I get more tests. I now must have a stomach emptying test because my stomach may not be emptying fast enough. I also get to go have another blood test to see if my liver is now functioning normally.
I was excited to hear that I wouldn't have to have surgery (for that sphincter muscle at my gallbladder) right away but I wasn't happy to hear that I would need more tests. I still may have to have the surgery but she doesn't want to do it until she knows if it is absolutely necessary. She says that it is a high risk surgery and can cause complications so that scared me a little. I just hope that the blood tests are now normal or that it is just my stomach. I really don't want to have surgery!

In other news, are there ever days when you aren't really in the mood to do anything and then something happens to change everything? Well today was one of those days for me. When I woke up, I wasn't all that excited about going to school. I wanted to stay in bed and I wasn't happy about the doctor's orders for more tests. I was just in a funk. However, when my students started coming in, they were all so happy and excited (only God knows why). Two of my little girls brought in Valentines even though I already told them we weren't exchanging them until Friday. They were both so excited because they had special Valentines for me. There was also a note from one of the girls' parents asking what my favorite flower was. I didn't really know what to say. I talked to the little girl and she told me that she wanted to get me flowers because I was "pretty like a flower". It was so sweet that I wanted to cry! I always tell the kids that they don't have to give me anything but they always insist. It is nice to be appreciated. All of the kids wanted to hug me all day and one of the boys even told me I was going to be his Valentine.

I don't know how Mat will feel about me getting flowers and having little 6 year old Valentines. It will be welcomed from me though because Mat and I have decided not to do anything special this year. I guess when you become homeowners you have to give up the simple holidays. I figure that we love each other more everyday so we shouldn't have to do anything special on Valentine's Day.

Anyways, I hope tomorrow is as great as today!! Now I'm off to do graduate school work.
