update

ok, so i've been questioned by a few people as to how i've been since my surgery earlier this summer... so i'll use our lovely blog to tell you all what's been going on... ok, so as most of you know i've been sick since about january and we really didn't know what was going on.... i missed alot of school second semester and underwent lots of fun testing... so doctors came to the conclusion that it was gallbladder disease and hey that was cool... it runs in my family... and that i had a lactose intolerancy (haha! that's only slightly true now)... anywho, i had the gallbladder taken out two days after graduation and had a fun two week recovery period... so a couple weeks go by and i'm not feeling any better.... go back to the doctor.. few more tests and taadaa! we know what's wrong... celiac disease, which basically means that i can't eat gluten... so breads, pastas, baked goods, fries, basically anything with flour or modified food starches are out.... but it's cool b/c i'm slowly adjusting and i'm feeling sooooo much better! so thank you to all that came and visited after my surgery, and for all the support over this past month and a half.. you guys are awesome!!!

if you like, i'll steal some gluten-free crap (waffles, cookies, etc.) from these people i babysit next time i'm there. i bet it's like fake meat, you know, that you get used to it and it tastes exactly as you think the real thing did!

anywho, i love you! i'm glad you're feeling better! now you'll be full of health for u of tulsa!!!
