Trip to the ER, Warhol, Pumpkins, etc.

So, Saturday I morning I woke up and was having sharp pains on the left side of my stomach. I laid around and they pretty much went away. I really thought maybe I pulled a muscle or something because I exercised more last week than I had in a while year. I had a few pains off and on on Sunday but by Sunday night, nothing.  About 7pm on Monday night, I started getting sharp pains again. I thought maybe it's gas or my new vitamins. I woke up at 5am this morning and still had sharp shooting pains. Well, those aren't really Google type things. I know my appendix, gallbladder, liver, etc would primarily cause right side pains. After Google and a continuous state of leaning over in pain, I decided I should probably go get it checked out.  After 3 hours in the ER, an IV, urine sample & blood work, the doctor determined it was more than like likely a bad muscle strain. I told him that was my first guess but I thought it was so odd that it hurt so bad Saturday morning and not again until Monday night. Thanks, exercise!! : /   He told me a few things to do to maybe help the pain. He said if it's still causing me issues in a week then he may check the colon as that's probably the only other thing it could be. I feel better having gone already. I kind of felt like a wimp when I left but it HURT and still does. He said my lab work looked great. That is good. Good news that my liver enzymes are okay. Hopefully that means I'll be starting metformin soon.

So you all have asked a few questions in the last few posts. I've been meaning to get back to you on the answers!

The fake pumpkins from my pumpkin post. I mostly bought at Hobby Lobby. They were already half off several weeks ago so they were cheap! I believe Michael's has them too. I haven't painted new ones every year, but the past two years I have. However, since the below are mostly fake, I can use them again year after year if I want :) I can also paint and add more!

Nope, I did not paint the Elton Warhol canvas. My mother-in-law is a photographer. The picture of Elton was from a photoshoot she did one Christmas. She designed it, had it printed and gifted it to me for Christmas. I love it. It is a bit pricey, but to me, worth it. I'm speaking to her about a few things regarding it, but if you are interested, shoot me an email and I can give you some details :)

The Otterbox I posted is pink and it is for the iPhone 4 :) I know a lot of you mentioned you didn't know they had pink and I got a few emails asking if it was compatible with the 3. It's not. I got it at a local AT&T store when I got my phone.

The VIA vanilla is Starbucks version of instant coffee! You can mix it with warm or cold coffee.They come in individual packets for an 8 ounce serving.

I can't remember if I said thanks on all the comments on Cohen's memorial slideshow post and my post about the taking him to baseball games. Thank you all :) I may definitely take some of you up on offers to games! We would love to meet you all.

I think that is it for now! If you've asked a questions and I haven't answered shoot me an email.

Oh! GroopDealz is offering another special on the Jamberry Nails shields - $7.50 for 1 sheet of shields ($15 Value) - FREE SHIPPING. There is a video on how they work and all. I'm thinking of getting a few for stocking stuffers for my nieces :)
