WLC and Surgery

As I said in my last post, my body has been a little out of whack lately. I have been dealing with a lot of lower abdominal pain for almost a year, which has progressively gotten worse, at times causing me to reschedule a day due to the pain. Thanks to a good friend at chapel, I got the name of a great doctor who was experienced in dealing with this situation. I was able to get referred off-post- huge answer to prayer. The process of getting in to see her went quickly. She reviewed my chart and let me know that it was in my best interest to have an exploratory laproscopic surgery to determine the cause of the pain. Sounded good to me so we scheduled it for March 27. No problem, right. Think again. We are in the Army after all.
Brian had been scheduled to go to WLC - Warrior's Leader Course- a preparation for becoming an E-5. This was a very good thing that we had been praying for over a year to happen. The dates were going to be March 4 -19 which worked perfectly with my surgery date. However, as is common in the Army, plans changed at the last minute. Since, Brian hadn't been promoted yet, he was bumped from that class because they had too many people who already had received their E-5 who needed to take the course. We knew the bumping was a possibility but weren't thrilled at first. But as always, God's timing is best. Our entire family had just had a really terrible cold. Brian still was having difficulty with his voice and extremely exhausted, the day he had been scheduled to leave.
I called my doctor as soon as I found out Brian wasn't going to see if we could change the surgery date. Thankfully, she had an opening on March 20 which worked out perfectly. Brian would be able to be around throughout the weekend to take care of the kids and it would give me the few days I needed to bounce back from the surgery.
As of today he is officially at WLC and we will see him again in 2 weeks. I am recovering well. Still get exhausted a little faster than usual, but nothing this Army wife can't handle- with all my friends:)
