Here is what I had planned for my birthday week starting with a Wednesday night bible study celebration. I love the friends I have made thru hanging out weekly and was looking forward to finishing up our short summer 5 week study. I also knew they had something planned for me since it was my birthday the next day but I wasn't too worried since I don't get embarrassed all that quick or easy.
On Thursday my actual birthday I had a chiro appointment in the morning to get put back in place for my upcoming girls weekend in Des Moines. I was also working at the salon in the afternoon. My grandparents were going to take me out for supper to Nederlander's in Orange City and we were all going to my sister's singing recital that night!
But the best part was Friday and the girls trip I had planned with some friends. We all work a lot and it's hard to make time for each other so we were heading up to Des Moines for the weekend to go to Adventureland, Cheesecake Factory, and of course the Jordan Creek Mall. I had made hotel reservations and was planning on buying our tickets online on Wednesday night after Bible Study.
BUT none of it happened because GOD decided I needed some rest and relaxation on my birthday instead. I did end up going to the ER on Wednesday at noon. I came home for lunch and to walk the dogs but I was having minor stomach cramps to which I thought was an after effect of eating Ice Cream the night before because I am lactose intolerant not the wisest choice but I figured I could handle it :) I suddenly realized it was not just from the ice cream but something else and instantly I knew. In November I had ended up in the ER due to a cyst located behind but not attached to my right ovary. It was happening again but way more pain and way quicker. Lord, I was saying, I don't have time for this I have to get back to work this afternoon and I have all these plans lined up and a wedding I need to do hair for next week Please not now. Well I didn't stand a chance because it was out of my control. Anyway long story short I was able to experience the clinic, ER, and stay a night in the new Hospital. What a wonderful facility!
So for my birthday it was room service... I came home on Thursday night! I now have an appointment on Wednesday in Sioux Falls. The cyst is not attached to the ovary but is located behind it so in order to fix it they need to take it out, exactly what I don't have time for. But I now just get to take it easy for a few days and hope to get some more answers next week.

| Nothing better than room service on your birthday |
As we were sitting there on my birthday my mom kept saying 22 years ago I thought it was the best day of my life because you were born. So God blessed me with a relaxing day and some time to reflect and be thankful for my family. I did enjoy my birthday even if it was not what I had planned, God knew I needed to slow down instead :)
