Bring On April!

**I started this on April 2nd and saved it as a draft. I finally published it almost 2 weeks later, so sorry for the confusing date conflicts**

March was craptacular at best for so many reasons that I'm glad to see it gone.

April hasn't started the best. I had a reaction to a medication I was prescribed. Despite being a fuller figured person, I've been lucky with my health. All of a sudden on April Fool's Day, of all days, I started in with chest pain and heartburn. As the day went on, it didn't go away. I rarely have heartburn. This was not normal. All indicators appeared to be a gastro problem, common with this medication, but everything also said to go to the hospital to rule out a heart attack.

I spent several hours in the Geisinger Emergency Room. It was worth it for the peace of mind of knowing that not only was it NOT a heart attack, my heart and cardiovascular system is excellent right now. My blood pressure is also good. I've been working out, and recently hit a 10% reduction of my overall body weight, and I've now surpassed it. My doctor adjusted the dosage, and although it took the better part of 10 days, I now feel better in that regard.

I spent Good Friday in Connecticut, at the Mohegan Sun. My first experience with a full-scale casino. My mom has been hitting them for years (although not this one), and after a day there, I can honestly say that I have absolutely no idea how people can spend hour after hour locked in there. Seriously. It's dark, and cold, and smoky. I was there to see a concert, and had a good time, and the casino itself is aesthetically beautiful, but gambling is not my forte.

Ray (Nelson's step-dad) came up from Allentown and went out to eat with us on Easter Sunday (Me, Nelson, Mom, and Dad). He found some of Nelson's dad's paperwork and brought it along. It was enlightening to say the least. We had no idea of any of the stuff associated with that. We found out his dad was a sharpshooter in the marines, had bunch of step-brothers and step-sisters, and was a "Jr". We also found out the name of his parents, and the search is on to try and finally get the family tree traced - hopefully. Turns out his dad's unusual name is a lot more common than we thought.

Hopefully with feeling better, I can get my butt back on track to updating this more often. I often groan when I go to a blog I enjoy and see that it hasn't been updated in ages. Pot calling kettle, line 2.......
