Ugh!

So I had my follow up appt with my family doctor (after having one more "episode" on Sunday. Luckily, that one was handled with the pain meds the ER sent me home with.) Before he was even in the room for 2 seconds (he had just read about my ER adventure), he said "you need a pipita scan." Since there were no stones in the ultrasound, my doctor is playing with the possibility that my gallbladder just isn't functioning properly. So, this scan is where they get die into the bile in the gallbladder and watch how the gallbladder gets rid of it. If this scan shows that it isn't working, that means that I get to have it out. FUN! At least this is happening now, when I am NOT on my mission, and have a job that will support me having the surgery. (I have accrued so much sick time that I could take a month off if I needed it.) So, that's the latest...this mission prep is killing me!

So sorry you are not feeling well. My sister-in-law had her gall bladder removed about 2 years ago. Hope it goes well for you. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
