the rolling stones

i have gallstones. like huge, ginormous gallstones. which is okay cuz at least now i know where the pain is coming from. so i have to get surgery to get them taken out since i've had attacks and all that good stuff. they weren't stuck in the lining of my gallbladder, so that's good news i hear. they were rolling around. kinda creepy. anyway ( Read more... )

If you get the surgery before you come visit us in WA you will not enjoy your vacation. That surgery is "simple" but it still hurts like hell to recover. Just FYI. :) But I'm glad they know what the problem is and they can fix it. You'll feel much much better after they fix you.

Excited for your visit. You have to bring Nona over for a playdate. ;)

any update on what the technician saw on the scan? the liver that looked strange?

you said you'd get a doc's opinion in a week from the 7th.... is all well?

she said i had a "fatty liver." but then she looked at my blood work and said that all looked normal. she said once i've weaned nona i can do a blood test for my cholesterol. but i'll be damned if i have high cholesterol at 24 years of age!!! so ever since then i've been working out every day and trying to eat a lot better. josh is making his mom take him to the grocery store tonight so he can make sure she gets us some healthy fruit and vegetables. so hopefully all is well soon. i have my appointment with the surgeon on august 1st when i get back from washington. once all that is settled, i'll know when i can expect to have my surgery. sigh.

oh thank goodness, hubby has one too, no big deal they say. What a lot of worrying you must have done over your "strange liver" for so little. Sometimes technicians should be sat in the corner to think about what they have done!

gooooooooo Josh! he should go every time really or have her let him go every other time or something to make it more fair. It's not like vegan food is expensive or anything, at least it isn't here. well just the tofu as it's uncommon. Soy milk is cheap and available in several flavors, anyway I am rambling.

hugs!
