OK, then, I still feel fer ya, 'cause my mother had THOSE and waited to do anything until her gallbladder burst and she nearly died! So, please, don't put off getting it treated. It's an easy op while the stones are still in their little bag, but quite another when they have to pick them out of your insides one by one!
No worries, I am heading back to the hospital a little later to get whatever treatment is necessary. Thanks to Doc giving me a call last night, I am more aware of the gravity of the situation and will not allow it to develop further. At the moment it is bearable and I'm not in too much pain, but that could change at any moment, especially if I happen to eat something... so until it's sorted I'll stick to watery soups and keep my fluids up.
It sucks when:
* you're comfortable cos your insides are covered with skin, then someone says something "icky" to get the point across and you start thinking about all the squishy bits.
* your normally strong stomach turns to mush because some of your insides are gonna be on the outside
* the lump in your throat from thinking about the 'squishy bits' becomes a projectile and you have to mop it up.
* the thought of having surgery causes trepidation and an uneasy feeling in your bowel....and you become highly embarrassed when the examining doctor presses down on your abdomen to reveal it's ALL gas.
* everyone is looking at you as they evacuate the ER.
