First off, can I just say that this was a BUSY week? Here's a quick recap:
- Have routine surgery
- Give an impressive attempt at bleeding to death
- Have a second, emergency surgery
- Attend a wedding
- Have (very low maintenance) house guests
- Make a video
The Jamison boys: Josh, Jarrod, Mark, Todd, Eric and Kyle
Grams, Aubrie, Todd
the Jamison girls: Beth, Dixie, Aubrie, Shelly, Jenny
I wrote the following email to Josh's cousin, Cameron:
Cameron,
Thanks for the email! It's sure been a crazy week!! First my surgery, then Todd got married yesterday.
Wild times.
You asked about my surgery..I had some routine female-type surgery on Tuesday because I've been having a lot of female pain. The initial surgery went well...textbook, we thought, until I passed out after walking to the bathroom.
Good times!
My blood pressure kept dropping throughout the day, until it got dangerously low (think 50-60s/30s). They had to give me blood and take me back to surgery to find the bleed. I lost a liter and a half of blood! (Depending on the source, it's estimated that we have about 5 liters total).
I felt pretty good after the first surgery, and pretty terrible after the second, but I think I am on the mend now.
I have just felt so amazed at all of the little blessings this week. My body handled the blood loss so much better than it should have!
I literally laughed hard when I thought of your dance moves! Next time you find yourself in Idaho, it's a date!
Tell me how your family is doing. I feel so out of the loop!
Love,
Dixie
Jarrod and Shelly spent a few days at our house for the wedding. Shelly and I got silly and put together a little video about the Jamison boys:
