HOwever...I had a bad gal bladder for YEARS before they finally discovered what it was and removed it. It didn't act up all the time which is why i had it for so long. if you do come before the surgery, it may not bother you at all. If it does we could take you to an ER there. just STAY AWAY FROM VERY GREASY AND/OR SUGERY FOOD. if you feel really crappy however, maybe you should take care of it and then come to alabama. you gotta come! bill, this is aweful. i had my gal bladder taken out a couple of years ago. it takes no time remove and only a couple of days to heel.

I've got to figure out if I need to have my gall bladder removed BEFORE we leave. If I don't, I run the risk of a "relapse" - I AM feeling better but it's taking a LOT of dope and antibiotics, neither of which will help much if there're gall-stones in there. I had an ultrasound done yesterday, but won't know the results until Monday at the earliest, at which time my Doctor and I need to figure out how to proceed. I don't know if I can schedule a surgery within a day! Alternately, I could go to the emergency room TODAY, and see if they'll yank it out for me. Nancy's BIL had his done a few years back, and was ambulatory within a day or so - they do it arthroscopically. It would be beyond tragic if I weren't able to make the trip because this came up right at the last minute! I can't even stand to think about how disappointed everyone would be! Prayers are definitely needed! Love. IN all seriousness, I’m worried about this. I’ve got to figure out if I need to have my gall bladder removed BEFORE we leave.
