I was blessed today. It's the kittke things

It all started when Joe got sick. We are currently still working on getting him 100%.
The last few days I've had some slight to moderate pain in my left abdominal area. I thought it was strange but nothing concerning.
Yesterday I work HARD at my parents house where I am currently redoing their kitchen cabinets. I love to remodel especially when it's not with my money! ha!
Yesterday afternoon the pain in my left side started to get more intense. I took ibuprofen and prayed it would go AWAY. But, later in the  evening it was apparent that A) It was NOT going away B) The pain was getting worse and C) I was running a fever (102 to 103!). This is the LAST thing we needed!! Joe reluctantly (poor guy has a rough day and was tired) took me to MWC ER (there was NO wait!) and after blood work, IV's and a whole load of test it was determined that I have diverticulitis (I was told I had this a LONG time ago nut, have NEVER had any issues). It is a disease where you get "pockets" in your colon and then things (mainly nuts and seeds) get stuck in those pockets causing infections and severe pain. So, I was given an IV medication and sent home with two STRONG antibiotics, Anti nausea medication and some medication for the pain. The pain yall, is awful. It is in my lower left abdomen and radiates into my left hip joint. it is also in my lower back.I think I had this "flare up" (as the doctors refer to it as) due to me making and eating a health shake (Chia seeds, blueberries, strawberries and spinach! AMAZING!) my mom taught me to make. So, the said stay AWAY from seed and nuts too. BOO!
So, we got home at like 1am and CRASHED. I went early this morning to get my prescriptions filled (I LOVE our CVS! they are amazing!!) and the wait wasn't too bed (10 minuets) and as they rang me up I realized that these "strong" antibiotics are crazy expensive even WITH health insurance!!  well, I came up short on being able buy said antibiotics and the older lady next to me said "Sweet heart, I am going to pay for your medication! because, I just saved 75% on my Easter candy!!!" (YES, THE STILL HAVE EASTER CANDY! and it's CHEAP!) So, I was super blessed by this "young" lady and am now fully medicated!
Looks like I will be attending church online today while my guys go to Life Church!
Love ya all!!!
