Went to have my abdominal ultrasound done today, and the tech saw a stone...a large stone, he said. I told him that I had not been having attacks, though I do have times when I am in pain and know it's my gall bladder. He says it's because the larger stones are *stuck* and the smaller stones are the ones that cause the pain because they are trying to get through the tube. Makes sense to me...
I go to see my doctor on Friday, and I'm sure that she is going to tell me that the gall bladder needs to come out. She tried to get me to have it taken out before, and I didn't. I have lots of questions to ask her, and she will have to convince me of it being a necessity before I will agree.
I go to see the cardiologist on March 8. I've had two more episodes since the visit for the echo.
Sometimes I feel silly for being so concerned when others have so much more on their plates, but...I am concerned.
So, if you think of me, please say a prayer. Thanks!
