Laporoscopy

I had a laporoscopy on Monday to check my fallopian tubes. Ugh, I still feel crappy! If this is what a hangover or C-section feels like, then I don't want them!!!

Before heading into surgery.

Yeah, I'm back, but I was dizzy at first. They wouldn't let me go home until I had eaten and went to the bathroom.

 After eating and drinking tons of water, they wanted me to get ready to go home. But sitting up and going to the bathroom made me throw up, so the nurse injected a anti-nausea drug. The side effect was sleeping and a serious red nose! (The bowl is in case I throw up again. Can you tell I had on my hat and was getting ready?)

Finally home eating pizza, which is what I was craving.

Can you tell Dave likes taking pictures of me, especially when I am sleeping? The test showed I have partially blocked fallopian tubes, so we will be put on the fast track for IVF.

Engagversary

In December it was the anniversary of our engagement. 

So Dave bought me flowers. They were pretty!

Skype Pictuers

My brother and his family went to Provo last week because our neighbor and friend died. It was sad, but his body was deteriorating. I feel bad for his wife because they had been married and best friends for almost 50 years. Good thing she has lots of kids and grandkids to keep her happy.

So I took pictures of my nieces and nephew while I was talking to them on Skype. This is of Brylee taking a break from writing me notes.

Corey and Brylee chatting with me. (Can you see me in the bottom right hand corner taking the picture? And my messages are open from Brylee's notes.)

The other two are cute as well! I am so lucky to have cute nieces and a nephew!

My Office

I share an office with all the PhD students from the School of Sports, Performing Arts, and Leisure. This is what the desk looks like. That is not a white board, but I wish! I usually sit with my back to the window so I can see who is coming through the door. (See my blue water bottle?)

This is facing the other direction. We all have lockers to put stuff in. I have two right now so I can put research equipment in the other. 

This is what the 'lab' looks like. It's really the Black Box theatre, but it's really the only place I could do my research because I need to put the cameras up on the tech balcony/walkway. I always have the chairs moved out of the way so there is more space to dance in. 

Walsall Town Centre

I took some pictures of the Walsall Town Center while I was waiting for the school bus back in December.

Birds just for Corey!
