Sore, sick, and surgery.

I have muscle pain in places I didn't know muscles existed. It's horrible. And yet so incredibly awesome! I've started a fitness class that's four days a week, at the ungodly hour of 5:30 am. Today was my second day, but now I've actually signed up and will be getting up at 5 Tues-Fri to go work my patootie, and everything else, off. It's a class taught by one of my student's moms, and she is insane and awesome. We do weights, and core exercises, and kickboxing, and aerobics and ball work, and on and on and on. Pretty much, and hour of the hardest workout I've ever done. And besides being in pain, I feel great. I have energy!

So, I'm not really sick, but it fit with the alliteration I had going in the title. I am sick of doctor appointments, though. I'm heading down to LA in just a bit to go to my second appointment this week. Wednesday was at my regular doctor here in town, to try to decide what our next step is, and today I'm going to go see a natural healer type doctor. Or a witch doctor, as my MIL likes to say. She's a friend of my sister in law, and comes highly, highly, highly recommended, plus she's a Christian and just seems like the sweetest lady! But still, another appointment. Hopefully she'll be able to help me with my skin problems. And the fun thing is that I'm going down with my sister in law and her girls, and we're staying the night down there are Sarah's mom's house, so it should be a good time, even if I have to go to another appointment!

On to the surgery. My doctor (ob-gyn) decided on Wednesday that it is time for us to take the next step, so on Thursday the 19th I'll be having two procedures done. Both outpatient, no big deal kind of things, but I'll be put under, which I've never experienced, and I would love for you to be praying for the procedures. One is a laparoscopy, where they will be looking all around my insides to check for any problems, like endometriosis, and the other is an HSG, which is a dye test to check for blockages in my tubes. Fun stuff! Please pray for my nerves, I'm not scared, but it's still new ground for me, having never had any sort of procedure like this before. Also pray that my doctor will find out what the problem is, and that it will be a fixable problem, not a permanent problem.

Okay, now I have to run so I can finish getting ready to go down to LA!
