Another post;)
Well, I felt like blogging again.
From my phone this time
So there were like five kids running around the neighborhood wishing everyone a happy twenty fourth of July! It was cute, Ashley and I were sitting on our porch throwing poppers at the ground. When they passed our house one of the kids, who was no older then twelve shouted " and I'm single!" Ha ha ha, what a flirt for such a young guy, I shouted back " sorry, I'm not"
Ha ha ha
Another story. This one is about my colonoscopy that I went through a couple of weeks ago.
So I had been sick for three days, and RB had to stay home and literally wait hand and foot on me because I couldn't do anything (such a great guy!), but the day of my colonoscopy my sisters Daline and Ashley came to take care of me that morning so RB could get some hours in. For those who have had a colonoscopy they make you drink tons of disgusting juice!!!! Blah, blah, blah, makes me icky thinking about it! It left a disgusting after taste, and my sisters took such good care of me! Ashley even tried some of the disgusting juice to see how it tasted! She, of course, hated it;) they would both encourage me to drink 8 sips every ten minutes ( there was a lot to get down), and Daline would hold my water bottle right close to me so as soon as I had gulped down 8 sips( with my nose plugged of course), I could quickly grab it and take sips of water to get the taste out of my mouth....I have wonderful sisters! I'm lucky!
I think the juice wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't just mix it with water (RB was the one who was actually mixing it) definitely mix it with a really strong tasting drink.....sprite might have been good with it.
Colonoscopys's are a really interesting experience, this was the second one I had had, the first one was definitely not this dramatic. I had just been having lots of upset tummy aches and just wanted to make sure nothing was seriously wrong.
Which it wasn't, just I have a sensitive stomach and I have to be careful with what I eat. This recent colonoscopy, was because I had horrific pain in my stomach and then I was super sick, nauseous and dizzy.....and I was bleeding out of places I wasn't supposed too!!!...........sorry, tmi?
So I ended up in the emergency room twice on the same day, it was an interesting fourth of July! The second time was because my body had a bad reaction to the drugs they had given me earlier in he day. Blah......that was the worst I have ever felt in my entire life.....I think;-).
So that was Wednesday and I got scheduled to get a colonoscopy on Friday, so I was pretty much sleeping and feeling really awful on Thursday and then Friday morning. Friday afternoon I had my colonoscopy.
I had such a wonderful wonderful nurse! She made me feel all better, well at least mostly emotional! She was so sweet and helpful, it was nice to be covered in warm blankets and get some stuff for my nauseusness. I was put in a bed, given an IV (for third time in two and a half days),I was wheeled into the surgery room, and met the doctor. He was nice too, he asked me a couple of questions and then the awesome nurse told me she was going to give me medicine to fall asleep. I tried REALLY hard to stay awake, just to see how long I could......that didn't last long, she just laughed at me. I think I got through saying, "stay awake" twice before I was out.....
Before I knew it, I was being woken up! It was all over and they had brought RB in, yay!! I always feel better to have RB around!
The doctor came in and explained what I had....which was ischemic colitis.....in short a colon stoke ! Wow, what a crazy thing to have happen to me, luckily it shouldn't happen again and I just need to change my diet a little;) so there is my awesome story....had

It is time for another update!
Today is the twenty fourth of July and I really wasn't planning on doing much, Ashley wanted to go over to willow park where they are having the celebration for the holiday. It was actually a lot of fun and I love looking at all the booths, I saw a person drawing character drawings and I thought it would be awesome for me and Ashley to get on. Kind of to prove that I had actually done something for the fourth of July!
So we got our cute picture and we were going to go home, when I got stopped and asked by a random guy what I thought of his art picture thingy ma-jig. I was thinking, wow It doesn't look to pretty. It really wasn't that great and I didn't know why he was asking me how it looked. I kindly replied that it looked very bright and colorful and Ashley said the same thing. He explained what it was supposed to be and we just nodded. During his explaining I was really confused at why he was just asking us anyway. So after he was done explaining we told him good luck and started to kind of walk away, when he started asking us what we were doing the rest of the day.... I kind of stopped to think "Geez, what am I going to be doing the rest of today" . Ashley said something like going home and making dinner. Then he proceeded to ask if I (or we, not sure) wanted to go on a hike or something.........OK I have to stop the story for a second.....So when he asked me that, a lot of things went through my mind. I hate having to exlpain to people that I have something called CFIDS and can't do that stuff to well. I decided just to stick with, "I cant really go hiking" because I didn't feel the need to explain to him the reason why, so then he asked if I wanted to go for a long walk.......OH Geez, I though to myself...I think this guy is actually hitting on me......Me, no make up on and I am married........So I really don't remember what I said next, but finally I showed my ring finger and told him I was married, and I don't know why, but I added on that this (pointing to Ashley) is my little sister. Thinking that it was the end of our conversation, but nope it wasn't. He actually thought Ashley was like fifteen, but found out she was 20 and asked her to go do something. She said flat out no! Wow, brave girl, but she told me later that she didn't want to be second choice......I wasn't even seeing it like that at all........ SO we finally got away and I felt embarrassed and bad....don't know why, he seemed like a nice enough guy. I think when he found out my age, he was shocked because he thought I was like 20.....ha ha! Why don't guys look for wedding rings before they start asking girls on dates. So another story, but his
