July is flying by!

Well, I have decided to catch you all up on why I haven't been anywhere yet in July! On the morning of July 3rd, I was at work like normal (at a vet clinic), and I was out on a call with one of the veterinarians, when all of a sudden I started sweating and I got severe stomach pains. I was rushed to the nearest emergency room. Well, after several hours, tests, x-rays, cat scans, etc., I was taken to another larger hospital. I was there for only a few minutes when the doctor decided it would be best if I were take to Clarkson Hospital in Omaha. At that point I was very bummed because I wasn't going to make it to the Exira rodeo, but I was determined to be at the next weeks events. After much pain, more tests, and an MRI, I was diagnosed with Pancreatitus. The doctors made it very clear that I wouldn't be making it to rodeos anytime soon. Long story short, I spent 12 days in Omaha. I am happy to report, that my family and I got home yesterday afternoon. I can't thank my parents enough for sticking it through with me at the hospital. Thank you to everyone for the cards, flowers, visits, gifts, thoughts, and prayers. I can't wait to hit the rodeo road again! Hope to see you all this weekend at Extreme Bulls!
