Our Family Vacation to Chicago

Like so many other families that haven’t taken a holiday for a couple years, watching our cash because of the economy. My sister’s son and my only nephew asked his girlfriend to wed him and that is’s all it took! We found out the day the wedding was going to be held, my husband and I both had paid vacation time coming from work so we made a decision to go to the wedding and make it a holiday as well. So when it came time we packed out bags, loaded everything up and hit the road.

This was no short trip. It was close to 1200 miles back to my home city in Illinois so there was lots of time spent on the road. Sadly not all of our problems got left behind at home. After several hours of sitting and driving the 1st day I had began sensed some lower abdominal discomfort. Being perfectly truthful I believed it was a combination of being anxious, excitement and maybe just sitting for too much time. But by the end of our first day the discomfort had become worse. When we stopped for the evening I attempted to relax and stretch out some, hoping that it would improve, but there was no change. It got so bad I though we might have to go to a nearest emergency room. I decided to try to get a good nights sleep and make the decision in the morning. Before going to bed I called my mother to inform her where we had stopped and what was happening with me. After describing the symptoms I was having and Mom told me she had the very same symptoms when she was having problems with ovarian cysts. She additionally told me about some of the different treatment of ovarian cysts and how this one natural cure worked best for her. So I decided to go to the emergency room that night, simply to make sure what was taking place.

I’m certain each and every one of you have experienced visiting the emergency room at one point during your life or another. Well, the one we went to was phenomenally stuffed. Let me tell you, pain or no discomfort, sitting in a room full of sick and wounded folks wasn’t a superb atmosphere. The combination of all these elements actually pushed my anxiety. As time went by with folks coming out and in consistently, waiting to be seen while experiencing a great amount of discomfort it was finally enough and I began experiencing a panic attack. All I wanted to do was get out of there, agony or no discomfort. I have to admit, if it wasn’t for the help my hubby had given me, in addition to the skills I had learned about overcoming panic attacks I honestly believe I would have walked out. Eight hours later I left feeling a little better so far as the pain. The anxiety and panic had gotten better and the ultrasound confirmed I had an ovarian cyst. There was no cause for alarm though I recieved a prescription for pain if required, some guidelines on stuff to keep clear of and told to check in with my family doctor when we got back home.

We made it to Chicago and over the following days the discomfort decreased. I continued experiencing a little anxiety, but it was more anticipation about what precisely was going on. In fact one night we all gathered together and went out to eat at one of our favorite cafes. This is the type of food you simply cannot pick up in the south where we live, so we all did quite a bit over eating during that evening. My husband went slightly more overboard then he should have. I could tell as he mentioned that he required one of his remedies for heartburn before we even even made it back to our room. We laughed at it, but the rest of the night he was in not feeling very well because of his acid reflux and heartburn.

All in all it definitely was a excellent time. The wedding was beautiful and went smoothly without any problems. It had been a event to recollect. Essentially the entire vacation was something to recollect. Eventhough it started off a little rocky but the time was spent well surrounded by family and old friends that we hadn’t visited with in years. That most likely was one of the finest vacations the my family and I took in a long time.
