Well, I have some bad news. It turns out I won’t be graduating this Fall like I had planned. Two of the three classes that I needed were being offered for Fall Semester and I had hoped that I could find a professor to do an independent study for the third class. However, the professor that normally does the class said she didn’t want to do it. As a result, I’ll have to wait and take the class in the Spring Semester. Its a real let down too, as I planned to just be done with it all at the end of this year. =(
Anyway, last week was pretty much a doozy as I was in the hospital from Wednesday afternoon until late Friday night with my wife. Early Wendnesday afternoon, my wife started throwing up and having breathing problems (shortness of breath). At first the doctors thought it was simply a case of severe heart burn, so my wife was released that night. But on my way driving her home, she said I needed to pull over as she was going to vomit. I promply complied and she basically threw up, on the side of the road, all of the IV fluids and little bit of apple juice she had drank before we left the hospital. Afterwards, she said she was feeling better and wanted to just go home and get some sleep as it was nearly 2:00 AM EST.
That morning we woke up around 10:00 AM EST. After trying to drink some water and eat something, she started feeling sick like she did the day before. A couple vomits later, she said we needed to go back to the hospital because she was having shortness of breath again. We arrived there around noon and she was put in a room. After hours of waiting, a night in the hospital, and several tests later (CAT scan, EKG, blood tests, sonogram, etc.), the doctors found that she had gallstones and would have to have her gallbladder removed. Due to the fact she is pregnant, the doctors have put her on a low fat diet and hopefully she can have the baby before it becomes an emergency to have her gallbladder removed. The baby is expected in early November and she has been doing fine so far this week.
On another note, since we made it back later Friday night and the wife was well, I was able to play in the finals for the UT2004 ONS Mixer Tournament this past Sunday. I am happy to say we won and were the champions of the tournament (not that it even really matters). It was good fun and I got to meet some other folks who play the game. This upcoming Monday, August 29th, Last One Standing has their first TWL Ladder Match at 9:30 PM EST. It should be good fun.
