Today is August 15, 2007
I celebrated my 41st birthday on August 3, and it was great. Micheal took me out to eat ( first time for my birthday, EVER) we went to Texas Roadhouse. I love their grilled Salmon, rice, salad and dinner roll. Food is such a good thing now.
I still have some issues with my liver enzymes being real high. There are times it is pretty painful. It hurts more after eatting than any other time. All in all I feel so much better. I wished that I felt like I did before pancreatitis happened but there isn't a whole lot I can do about that.
In about 6 weeks it will be my first anniversary since my surgery. My family Dr. told me it would take a year to get over my tp/ict. At the time, I didn't want to hear it, but it is true. I had a few set backs along the way, and they were quite painful, but it is becoming more and more clear with each passing month, how much better I am.
I recently came off the duragesic patch. Oh, I almost forgot I went and signed up for school last Friday. College begins next Monday, and the college purged my transcripts 8-01-07, so now I can't get into school in time. I am still going to pay for my transcripts again, the class I want to take starts again in October, which is fine with me. I would much rather enjoy my first summer ever and go back to school, with cold weather coming ( much better for me, I get to enjoy more of my summer) I planted some flowers this spring, and I will post a picture of one really pretty one. I have been doing some sewing this spring and summer. Not as much as I would like.
I have lost a few more pounds nothing drastic, my size is stable at a 4-6 alot smaller than before.
I almost forgot to tell everyone. Michael and I are going to be grandparents, in late January early February. I will post pics soon, I need to switch computers to do so.
Thanks to everyone for there support over the past year and months.

Lisa,
My name is Kellie and I have been suffering in pain for since June 2005. I have fibromyalgia and I am ANA positive for Lupus. I have right side pain all the time and it gets so bad that I end up at the hospital. The run the test and send me home with pain pills and no real reason for why I am in pain. I always think it is my appendics and swear if my gallbladder hadn't been taken out it feels like that pain. My cousin told me about SOD and I am wondering more and more about it. I read all your entries and I just don't know where to begin in getting a doctor to listen to me and run the right test. I pray every day that God give them the knowledge to figure out what is wrong with me. I have been out of work a year and four months. I spend most of my days unable to function. I am in so much pain that I vomit and most days the pain in my legs is so bad that I can't walk. I starting crying researching all of this because you read it and think the worst. I have a great support team and god in my life. I also cried because your from Richmond IN and so am I. I live on the west side of Richmond. I have two teenagers in Centerville schools and a very supportive husband. If you know where I should even begin with my doctors please let me know. Thanks Lisa for putting your story on the internet.
Kellie
