About two weeks ago I had to get a Hida Scan done to see if my gallbladder was working properly. I have been having pain since before Thanksgiving. Last weeks I got the results back.
I have Chronic Gallbladder Disease.
Basically it just means by gallbladder isn't working anymore. Instead of pumping like it's supposed to, it's not and I keep on having spasms which is what the pain I am feeling is. I have to get it taken out.
I was really upset when I first found out. The fact that I have to get yet another operation is just devastating. I must have cried everyday that week. I've been feeling better about having the surgery, mostly because I am in so much pain. I want to no longer have this non-stop shooting pains in my stomach and be able to eat without my stomach cramping up.
I saw the doctor who will be doing my surgery last night and it's all set to be done on January 7th. I really really wanted to get it done the week after Christmas, but of course he is away that week. So I have to deal with this pain for another 2 weeks. I just hope I don't have another full blown attach like I did. Otherwise I should be fine.

I sure hope they gave you something for the pain while he is sunning in the Carribean.
I'm sorry!
I had my gall bladder out on a Wednesday morning and was at happy hour on Friday evening. It is NO BIG DEAL. Super easy. Very little pain. You will be FINE.
Big hugs!
At least the pain will be gone! Sorry you have to wait so long - I have a few friends who've had theirs out and after they were a million times better!
