Well, I am well and truly frustrated now - this back pain is officially the most annoying thing I have ever had to deal with (except for labour, that is :-) On Friday, I was feeling much better - the stomach pain was still there a little, but the back pain was doing much better. Then, I noticed yesterday that there was this green discharge (don't get grossed out, Grandpa :-) on my panty liner. That really worried me, so yesterday, we drove over to the hospital emergency room so that I could see a doctor about it. Turns out they don't have walk-in clinics here in Hervey Bay, so if you need to see a doctor outside the hours of 9am - 5:30pm, you have to go to the emerg. When we got there, though, there were tons of people there - I am sure it would have been a four - five hour wait and so I told Dad that we were not going to stay. This morning, when I woke up, there was the green discharge again and so I decided that I would go back to the hospital after church today. I was in and out in 1 1/4 hours which was great. I ended up being called in by a woman doctor - she told me that when she had seen my chart, she chose it because she didn't think that I would want to be 'checked out' by a strange male doctor. :-) She asked me all sorts of questions about my symptons (we had checked things out on the net, so I knew most of the questions ahead of time) and then she took a swab. She said she would call me in a week if there was anything to report. She said that she thinks it's just a virul infection, but will call me if anything shows up. She also said that I should come back in a couple of days if the lower back pain and tummy pains haven't gone. I sure hope they go soon cuz it's so annoying (oh yeah, I already said that! :-)
Dad spent Friday at the FHC - he helped some new people who had never been in the FHC before. The rest of the day he spent time updating the computers, checking in the new films and checking out the old films. Most of the day, it wasn't too exciting, but they're jobs which need to be done. Dad really does enjoy helping people begin their genealogy search, though - and it's always great when non-members show up at the Centre - the word is really getting around Hervey Bay. Dad spent Saturday working on church stuff - especially working on things which need to be done for two events coming up to do with genealogy. There's going to be a genealogy open day on July 30th and a genealogy Sacrament meeting on the Sunday before that. I spent time doing schoolwork and church stuff as well.
Today, I ended up teaching the whole primary - one of our teachers left for Melbourne this past week and our other teacher was sick today (we don't have a Valiant teacher right now) - fortunately, it went really well - I was talking about how much Jesus and Heavenly Father love everyone in the world and so sends his Spirit to help the missionaries to spread the gospel. I then had the kids draw a picture of them 'being a missionary' - they drew things like them singing gospel songs, being baptized, being Elders when they grow up, sharing a Book of Mormon with a friend, etc. It was so wonderful seeing their little drawings (we wrote on them what they were doing in the picture) - I am going to send a letter to a young man from our ward who just left for the Missionary Training Centre this week explaining to him about our lesson and enclosing the pictures. One of our missionaries in our ward now said that Reece (our new missionary) would love that.
