I spent this past weekend in the hospital with gall bladder issues<\/p>\n
I experienced a level of pain I\u2019ve not had in a long time\u2026My brother said that I looked and acted like a woman in labour \u2013 couldn\u2019t sit\/stand or lay down<\/p>\n
Because emergency literally can\u2019t do anything for you except mask\/alleviate the pain, they did an ultra sound and showed me how enlarged and angry the gall bladder is…I wanted to kick the Dr in the head it hurt so bad…<\/p>\n
They give you lots of fluids (in hopes the stone will flush out of the duct and stop the pain) If it persists they send you to a surgeon and they try blasting the stone with laser. And if that doesn\u2019t work surgery to remove it\u2026Apparently there is a rather long waiting list for surgery\u2026<\/p>\n
And apparently I\u2019m lucky in that the morphine they gave me stopped the pain and knocked me out\u2026So they sent me home with some extra morphine and admonished me to drink lots of water. (which I haven\u2019t had to take as yet)<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s hoping that doesn\u2019t happen again.<\/p>\n
That makes the “sick” list now officially at 22 items:<\/p>\n
I came to work this morning and found a book on the way in called \u201cLiving a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions\u201d for free!
\nCan’t beat that eh?\u00a0 Seems like it was made for me eh?<\/p>\n
So I\u2019m at work\u00a0 today …But I wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m playing with a completely full deck of cards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
