August 11, 201412 yr 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.
August 11, 201412 yr Awh no that's terrible news, have heard they are one of the most painful things to have, closest thing to labour pains apparently, you poor thing, maybe a hot water bottle, some pain killers and bed are needed today, really hope you get sorted soon, mind yourself pet xxx

August 14, 201412 yr 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

August 15, 201412 yr Still here hopefully tomorrow or Saturday I will be released sigh kinda feeling sad right now not sure why That is understandable!! I'm sure you will feel a lot more positive when you are able to go home. (((Hugs)))
August 15, 201412 yr 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
