I haven’t posted in awhile, things have been hectic. For about three weeks I’ve been having abdominal issues that my doctor believes are from my gall bladder. I’m having a HIDA scan tomorrow to check the function of my gall bladder and other organs. If the gall bladder is the issue, it has to come out. I’m being told its done laproscopically these days so it should be outpatient. So long as it doesn’t interfere with our trip to Mardi Gras!

My symptoms have been all over the map. I didn’t sleep at all last night because I had a pretty painful attack. I managed to sleep from 8:30 am to 11:00 am this morning. The boy is headed home tonight so he will be here tomorrow.

Still waiting for my gun to come in but Charter Arms called Matt early last week and said they had begun shipping them again so it should be in soon. Speaking of guns, the Illinois Primary is tomorrow and we have a pro conceal and carry guy on the ticket!

Illinois “arguably is the only state in worse shape that California, depending how you calculate the numbers,” said Charles Wheeler, the director of public affairs reporting at the University of Illinois, Springfield. A stunning $13 billion deficit is projected for fiscal 2011. “The electorate is dissatisfied. Because Illinois has the stench of corruption from the Blagojevich years, all this stuff is making the Republicans salivate,” Wheeler said.
