So...

My doctor called this afternoon. I have gallstones - many, many gallstones. I have to schedule an appointment with a Colon and Rectal Surgeon. Ugh.

It is times like these, when I wish that I still lived in Kentucky. I really need my family for help and support right now.

Im so sorry but I can promise you that everything will be ok! My mom had the same thing and had to have her gall bladder removed and since, things are much better. Just make sure YOU are TAKEN CARE OF!

I'm so sorry! At least you know what it is for sure now. My fil had gallstones as well. He had his gallbladder removed, and all was great after that.

I don't know what I can say to make it better. But I do know that pain and I remember I was suicidal thinking if I had to deal with that forever I'd rather not live.

You get through it... what doesn't kill us makes us stronger... right?

Amber said...

Anth said...

Christy, here is a big hug from me! I'm so sorry all this crap is going on right now - and all at once.

That sucks, but at least you know what it is and it sounds like--if the innernets don't lie, and how could they?--that treatment is effective and as safe as one could hope for. Not fun, to be sure, but at least a solution is available.

Kris said...

I am so sorry! My baby sister has those too right now (poor thing accidently got sent to an OBGYN instead of the GI & was traumatized by it lol) I hope you get to feeling better!

Nellie said...

Oh no! I hope you have it removed and start feeling better very soon!

Oh, Christy, This is easy for me to say, but I know harder for you to do, but try not to stress too much about it. A woman I work with had her gall bladder removed while she was pregnant! with her 1st baby. She's fine now, expecting her 2nd in July.

She tells me that the pain of the gallstones was worse than the surgery since it was done laproscopically.

Your internet family is here for you to listen, and lend support. We're here with big, sqooshy internet hugs when you're feeling scared or sad. We're here with hugs and joy when things go well for you & your kids. You are not alone. We love you & wish the best.

I hope you get better soon! Sorry you have to go through this.

Cristina Mathers said...

oh no! hang in there. our thoughts are with you. they say it's the equivalent of childbirth, and since you have done that this should be a piece of cake????

ps: so sorry if that was the wrong thing to say. sometimes i can't speak.

C. said...

Oh GOD! Not gallstones, you poor thing! You must be in pain. * hugs *

EdgyK said...

You don't deserve that but I hope everything goes as well as it can. You can do it, don't let it beat you.

Bon said...

i missed this, Christy, and just wanted to say sorry. you don't need this, do you? hope it can be resolved quickly.

Mary said...

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers...
