Sorry I have been out of sight. Really sorry.
I missed posting on Monday and was going to catch up Tuesday evening. At 6:40 Tuesday evenng, I felt like I had a catch in my right side and then a pain like I have never experienced came roaring through my body on that right side. I have a high level of tolerance for pain, so when DH saw me laying on the bed whimpering because of the pain, he took me to an urgent care place by the local hospital. They were getting ready to close for the evening, so when the first three tests showed nothing, they sent me next door to the emergency department at the hospital. They determined it was my gall bladder and that I needed surgery to take it out. That happened yesterday morning and I came home last night. DH's summary of what the surgeon told him was that my gall bladder was growing golf ball collection with three really big gall stones and multiple smaller ones. There was also thickening of the walls of the gallbladder since some stones were sticking to the gallbladder walls. With all of that happening within 26 hours, I feel like I have medical whiplash.
Last night, I slept like te dead until 6:00 am when I woke up with lots of pain. So I took pain medications and slept until 9:30. Mom and Dad are going to the grocery store and will bring us a couple things we need. Otherwise, I'm charged with resting while getting up and moving around some. DH has been great to take care of me and it has been tough on him given how he has felt, so I'm hoping he'll rest some to. We may watch a lot of TV today.
So, I'm back and will be here more.
