you have some gall!!--bladder --- problems.

so last week i had two days in a row that i thought someone was stabbing me in the stomach repeatedly. it was the worst pain ever. the kind of pain that makes you feel like you will always have that pain... that kind of pain that turns you into a complete bitch- and moving or speaking or even hearing a sound makes you feel like you want to punch someone in the face.

i figured two days was enough... i thought maybe it was something i ate, or maybe i had an alien (with horns and claws) that hatched in my stomach and wanted out. to rule out the alien i thought it was time to go to the dr. so i went.... he pushed on my stomach- which made me want to punch him in the face (i had self control this day and didn't do it)- he wasn't sure what was going on so they took some blood and he sent me on my way to have an ultrasound done. i had that done on friday by a really nice lady. but i must say she had the weirdest shoes on- they were way too big for her feet and were just... ugly. anyways- she was really sweet.

i got the results this morning. apparently i have some gallstones and "sludge" in my gallbladder. i'm not really sure what "sludge" is and i didn't care to hear about it... so i just said ok now what. well lucky me- tomorrow i get to go meet with my surgeon and set a surgery date to have my gallbladder taken out. (this is what was implied-- so it could be that they will just give me some drugs and send me on my way.... but considering this is a very common problem for people like myself- im sure they will just take it out).

thankfully i hear this surgery isn't bad. i hear some people don't even have to stay in the hospital overnight- which would be a-ok with me. im not that into staying in hospitals overnight. the only good thing that would come out of me having to spend the night in the hospital would be i would probably get to see some of my nurses from september and december when i was there. they were the best!! other then that- i can't think of any perks of staying over night in the hospital.... even missing work right now isn't a perk... im dreading that too- it's our busiest time of year and i cringe at the thought of being out for a couple days and coming back to mountains and mountains and plateaus of work. speaking of work... should probably do some of that now.
