What is wrong with this picture?
$5,000.00- cat scan- polyps in gall bladder
$5345.00- MRI- polyps in gall bladder
$3200.00- ultrasound- swollen gall bladder with polyps
2 weeks ago- primary Doctor “gall bladder has to come out before it becomes an emergency” so he prescribes another test which took 2 weeks to get the appointment for and that is today at 8am.

2 nights ago the agony started and has not stopped.  ER gives a drink of something disgusting to stop the pain and sends me home…

I WANT MY GALL BLADDER OUT NOW:  please!!! (think good thoughts for me today).

We had a great time on Halloween with a handful (okay) a bunch of our grand babies a niece and a nephew.  Pop-Pop and I; after 2 blocks offered to take ‘lil’ monkey Peyton Elizabeth home. (It was freezing cold).  She got her first 2 bottom teeth and laughed the whole time.  I cannot believe she was 5 months old on November 1st.  Here are a few photo’s:

Big Sis Allyson and Adriana

Adriana, Mom-Mom, Morgan Layla and Dominic

Isn’t she the cutest little monkey?

I am overwhelmed with blessings.  I adore my husband.  I love my family.

So; for the first time I put a photo of my handsome, talented, adored and taken away from us much too soon brother, David in a post from the book.  I thought it would be nice for people to see who they were reading about.  It was a step for me.
