Today I went to the doctor. He concurred that the problem is probably my hernia. He is sending me for a CAT scan to see what’s going on in there. I’m still in much pain. Tylenol is not working very well anymore either.

He said if I need surgery, he would use the laprascope. If I have to have it and can have it next week, well, I think I’d be OK. But we know what can happen sometimes. I don’t have six weeks to recuperate before the wedding!

Monday. Labor Day Sept. 7, 2009

Went for the CAT scan, no results yet.

Today, Fred and I started to paint Emily’s room as we prepare to turn it into an office for me. I was bending down to remove the electrical plates when bam, the pain started in again. I had to bail on poor Fred. He prepped the room, painted the room, twice and let me sleep. What a sweetie!

I’m not sure the rest helped me, but I really couldn’t do anything else.

What I know for sure is that Fred is a saint. He’s learning early on that I am going to be “high maintenance.”

I love watching him work too. He’s so meticulous and careful. I’m such a bull in the china shop, no matter where I am or what I’m doing. I guess he’s going to keep me tamed. 🙂

He’s just about finished with the painting. It’s real pretty. Emily had her room as a dark turqoise blue. It was a lovely color. I’ve kind of kept it in the same blue family, but a smidgen lighter. I think it will bring out all the color in the oak furniture that will be going in there.

It will be such a relief to get everything organized, and up there. I’ve lived in this condo for five years and still have moving boxes full of “stuff.”

Gee.
