So now I know . . . and free kit

So now I know that some of the pain I've been having in upper right torso is not related to bronchitis. Went for ultrasound and have "abnormal gallbladder" aka I've got gallstones. My primary doctor wanted me to see a surgeon. Sure, gallbladder removal is most frequent surgery done and with laproscopic option, it's a quick procedure and quick recovery. I've been in pain for weeks so I'm ready. But appointment with gastroenterologist isn't until June 30 and that's the consult! But I'm on stand by list for any cancellation. And that's why I haven't been at computer much. Now I'll stop complaining. I do have a kit loaded to 4shared for you though. It's called Friends Forever and was done for a Starving Artist challenge a while back. There are 6 zips, so you will get the first tonight. Here is the preview:

Pick up here: http://search.4shared.com/postDownload/qXVLbw2yce/WS_FriendsForever_elements.html 5 more zips over next 4 days. I'll set them up ahead of time in case I get called away. Hugs!

Papers 1 for Mother's Day kit

Another day is over and I didn't get much done today. Paid bills and updated checkbook, then got the bright idea that since it was a nice day, I should go outside and trim the rosemary. Last spring or one before I'd bought a small rosemary plant - around the same time we got a few more azaleas for front flowerbed. We had a guy doing yardwork whom my husband had hired because he knew the man needed money. He wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, but I do appreciate my hubby's good heart. Anyway, we asked the man to plant the new azaleas and also asked him to plant the rosemary at a location in backyard. The rosemary ended up planted to the side of the front porch and we left it there, never imagining how fast it would grow and in any weather! It desperately needs another trimming, or rather, this time a serious pruning back. So, armed with just the kitchen shears, I went out to trim it. Took a large colander with me to hold the trimmed rosemary to process for use. Filled that thing to overflowing and called it enough, not because the plant was cut back enough but because some of the branches have grown too woody for kitchen shears. Washed all the rosemary and laid it out on a towel on top of stove (it's one of those flat glass ones) to dry. Didn't get any farther until a few minutes ago because I had bad nausea later in the afternoon. So, I just striped rosemary branches for a long time. Once done, I had fingers nasty with sap and chlorophil. Took 3 washes with Dr Bonner's liquid soap to get clean and my hands still smell like rosemary, now with a hint of lavender. Tomorrow I'll set some of the rosemary aside to dry and store for cooking and I'll make a rosemary hair rinse with some of what's left. When I go to hospital on Friday for ultrasound, I'll take along a baggie full for a friend who works there. And that was my exciting day lol.

Now, here is the first link to papers for yesterday's kit: http://www.4shared.com/zip/krbzJ9rrba/WS_AMothersLove_papers_1.html? Enjoy!

Retired kit freebie

Haven't blogged for a couple days (?) have been out to doctor appointments, errands and such and also catching up and finishing the meditation challenge. On the medical front, lungs are now clear. Had walk test today and had 95% pulse -oxygen which is great. Also learned my blood pressure, which is good anyway, had come down 10 points and I'd lost 4 pounds without trying. Hmm, meditation? Unfortunately, I look like I've gained weight with this bloating. Have the ultrasound for gallbladder Friday morning. Went through this once before years ago and no stones were found so nothing was done. But that was a very painful but short "attack." I hope they can get it right this time. I know even the laproscopic surgery is no picnic, but I just want to get it taken care of and move on.

I've got a Mother's day kit for you. Here is the zip for the elements: http://www.4shared.com/zip/PQmO4SLgce/WS_AMothersLove_elements.html? Zips for papers to come.

Retired Kit for free & other May CAK pieces

Guess what? I must be falling apart altogether because yesterday doc told me the pain I've had a couple weeks, thinking it was due to the bronchitis (which is better) is most likely a gallbladder attack. Blood tests done and ultrasound being scheduled. Meanwhile, I'm trying to go about usual business. Recently retired a bunch of Wonderland kits and will begin giving them out as freebies. Today's freebie will be a full size mini kit called April Showers.
