Kristen's back from the doctor's office. This gets weird, gang, so hang on.
The ultrasound from yesterday revealed a buildup of what the doctor professionally labeled "sludge." The ultrasound tech called it a "sludgeball." (This is probably the first time I've used the word "sludgeball" on the blog. Let's hope its the last.)
As best we understand, there's a build up of cholesterol and other "debris" in Kristen's gallbladder. (We think the debris is some leftover stuff from our garage sale a few weeks ago.) This, in itself, wouldn't bother Kristen that much. However, she also has a severe bladder infection and that is aggravating the object currently living in her gallbladder, giving her symptoms very similiar to gallstones. She's on antibiotics for the bladder infection, which is the true source of all the throwing up, weakness, and overall negative disposition. (Just kidding, honey!)
Right now, the biggest problem is the nausea, which is definitely severe right now. She's has an appointment with another doctor next week to talk about the best way to fix the, uh, "sludgeball" problem.
If you're praying for us, pray that Krist will get some relief from her symptoms. Pray that our kids will behave themselves and that at some point, Todd will get a nap.
Who says medical story blogs are boring? TW makes them come alive!
By the way, I think you all should start posting a score for my posts (w/ your comment or even a score by itself.) This will be your way of letting me know how a particular post stacks up against some of my greatest material (which we ALL know there's lots of.) A score of 1 means "I just wasted some of my life" and a 10 score means "Stuff like this is so great it makes me want to shut down my blog and become Todd's personal assistant simply for the ability to learn from his amazing genius with regard to all things weblog."

Praying for you Kristen.
So is this a 1-10 scale, or 0-10 scale? I need to know exactly how low I can possibly go....
the lowest will be a 1...to get a better idea of what a 0 rating would be, just think of your own blog
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.
I don't wanna see the word "duodenum" here again.
Unless it's used as a pejorative.
I dont know Johnny, but I think he is smart! (I didnt understand anything he commented!)
I give this a 5!
