Darn gallstones

[Frezflops]

Went to the ER yesterday because I was having the worst gallbladder attack (A little history the last time I went to ER was over 10years ago for a broken foot) I had 2 previous attacks that were similar but not as intense. It was determined that I have gallstones but no inflammation or infection present (which is good did not require emergent removal) I have to make an appointment with gen surg to possibly have my gallbladder removed. I took off work today because it still feels like I have been punched repeatedly in the right side(yesterday it felt like someone was trying to rip my gallbladder out and play catch with it) so it is lesser pain. 

 

ugh not wanting another surgery.

Ok. Well as bad as it sounds just now at least this is the road to recovery now.  And post op I'm assuming you can have some stronger drugs to manage the pain. Fluids and light therapy for the jaundice? xx

That is understandable!!

Hanging around is no fun, nor is starving yourself. I'm sure the mood is a combo of pains/meds/feeling stuck/frustration etc. Really hard to look for positives and tell me to go forth if ya like, but what about using the time productively?  I'm sure it was a hospital stay once where I first started to meditate, or practice, I was naf to start with lol. Another thing is reading, ask someone to bring you a decent book in.  Feel for you hun. Is the pain better and are you eating solid food yet? x
