Shopping treasures and update.

Hello everyone. I thought I better get here and do an update as it has been awhile. The Saturday before Easter my sister and I went shopping I found some things at Goodwill that I wanted to share with you.

I got these blocks that say this on one side and on the other side say friends faith and family.

Then I got these cute things, had to put my cinnamon rose hips in them. The bowl is wooden and the glas jar has an insert that you can put a tealight candle in it but I just put the rosehips in it and then tied some homespun fabric around it, I love the handle.
Then we went to another store called the Treehouse and I got this shelf. Here it is before I tweaked it.

 And here it is after I tweaked it, I really like it a lot!

It was a great day of shopping and it was just a great time being with my sister and doing something fun.

Saturday night I started having severe pain in my back and shooting around to the front. It kept getting worse and worse to the point where I could hardly stand it so I called my parents to see if they could take me to the ER. After five extremely painful hours there they did a CT scan and found out I had an extremely large kidney stone. It was 9mm and the doctor said there was no way I could pass it on my own. Being a small town hospital we don't have an Urologist on staff so I had to go to Mayo in Rochester by ambulance. I got there and then waited in the ER there for about 3 hours and then finally got admitted to a room and wouldn't see the urologist until Monday. So I spent my Easter laying alone in a hospital bed. I told my family to just go ahead and celebrate.  On Monday morning they did a procedure to try and blast it apart but they could not get the laser up far enough so they put a stint in my tube to stretch it and I have to go back in two weeks and hopefully they can blast it then. I am on pain pills and uncomfortable. I tell you after just getting out of the hospital in August after being in there for 7 months it was all a little too scary for me.Thankfully I got out Monday afternoon and the procedure I have is out patient. I really can't wait to be pain free.

Well I guess that is about it for now. I have my first swap package all ready to mail tomorrow. It is from Amy's Sweet Liberty Swap, I can't wait until my partner gets it, I sure hope she likes everything. I love being in swaps!

Have a great week everyone!
Be blessed!
