Oh What a Day!!!

I was going along with my new routine of waking up VERY early, getting ready, and getting to work so I can get my day off to the right start.  I even had a team meeting and made it through that fine.  My students came in and I began my day.....

Then as we were putting the homework up on the board to discuss the answers I began to have a hot flash (A wave of heat came up me and I began to sweat horribly) and then I began to have a TERRIBLE pain in my lower abdomen to the point I wanted to curl up in the fetal position.  I hurt when sitting and standing.  Luckily I have another teacher in the room with me so I asked her to take over (Thank you Katie!!!) and I went up to the nurses office (YES, teachers can use the nurses office as well... Katelynn was amazed!).  I must have looked awful because the office ladies scrambled to call the nurse and get her back to this end of the building.  She checked all my vitals which were rather normal.  We talked about all possibilities.  We discussed which doctor I should go to ....There is a problem when you have so many you are dealing with and it really overlaps a few of them.  I am hoping to have an appointment with Dr. Jason so we can talk about this issue. 

My mom came to get me and we decided to go to my Oncology Physical therapist since I was already supposed to see her later on today.  Robin was so helpful!  She was able to see me right away and as she pushed on my abdomen she felt it was a possible hernia.  I also confessed that I had been overdoing for about 5 days with lifting and just plain moving around.  I got the pep talk that I need to remember I am still healing from the surgeries and it may take a year to get back to "Normal." 

I will be going to see all the doctors in the upcoming weeks to make sure I cover all my bases.  I do feel better now that I have taken 2 cat naps today and stayed off my feet as long as I was able to. 

I had so many angels on my side today and I cannot thank them enough for helping me!  I am so blessed!  I hated leaving the kids and just throwing together a plan for them but I knew I would be useless to them if I stayed.  I will take it easy and ask for more help now since I do not want this to repeat!!!
