Where is Lisa?

I know you are asking , Where is Lisa?

Well Lisa has been extremely busy. Her trip to Denver last week was wonderful and baseball season has finally ended for the summer. (Pictures and stories coming soon!!~ Hopefully this weekend)

Work? Well let's just say she gets busier every day. Ever been thrown under a bus before?




Ode to Brett, yet AGAIN....... He is having his gallbladder sucked out tomorrow.


What is the gallbladder?The gallbladder is a structure on the underside of the liver on the right side of the abdomen. The function of the gallbladder is to store bile that is produced in the liver before the bile is secreted into the intestines. Bile secreted into the intestines helps the body digest fats.
Symptoms of a gallbladder “attack” usually starts with steady, gnawing pain in the upper right abdomen that progresses until the pain is quite severe and accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The pain may sometimes be referred to (felt in) the right shoulder or between the shoulder blades, and may last for several hours. The immediate symptoms of an irritated gallbladder often resembles a heart attack or angina – many times this is first diagnosed in the emergency department.
The frequency of attacks varies among individuals, sometimes once a month, sometimes once a year. Most can expect that once theyÂ’ve experienced one attack, they are more likely than not to have another at some point.
