So, out of the 60 games that have taken place in the NCAA Tournament, I picked 35 of them correctly. I also picked 3 out of 4 that are in the Final Four. The one I didn't pick was UCLA. I picked my Aggies to beat them for more reason than the fact that I graduated from Texas A&M. I picked them because they match up well with UCLA and they proved that. In fact, they really should have won that game. They had it right up until the last. Kevin Love is incredible!
There's been more madness in March in my household besides basketball. Last week, I got sick. I started throwing up; and not just food. Yes. That's right. I threw up blood! It wasn't just a few drops of blood, either. It was more than just streaks. I threw up a bunch of blood. It was a little scary. The scarier thing was that I went to the closest emergency room, sat there with Irene for 6 1/2 hours and never saw a doctor. It was 5:30, Thursday morning and my stomach had finally stopped hurting enough that I could rest. So, I told Irene we could just go home and I would call my doctor later. Well, I saw my doctor Thursday afternoon and the conclusion is that I have an ulcer. The nurse asked, "Do you have a lot of stress in your life?" I didn't really respond. The list is probably longer than she needed to hear. I'm really trying to hand a lot of it over to God. It's not easy! I get so worried about things and just kind of shut down. It's my defense mechanism. Well, the advantage to this is that the weight-loss incurred sent me down to the 180's. I am now about 188 lbs. I haven't seen this weight in probably 10+ years. I still have about 10-12 to reach my goal. Hopefully, once I can start working out, I'll drop the weight pretty easily.

That would totally freak me out. So, do you have to avoid spicy foods and stuff now? I hope it settles down and you don't have that experience ever again. Really, I can't imagine what my reaction would be if my hubby did that! And don't you love it when doctors ask if you have stress? I don't usually answer either, but I think the smart-ass look I give them send the message pretty clear. :-)
I was actually reading about it online yesterday and found out that it may have been less about stress and more about the 50 ibuprofen and 25-30 vicodin I took the week after my knee surgery. Hopefully, since I'm laying off of that stuff now, I'll heal up and not have to worry about it.
I got to lose a few pounds too.
