Ok, this is new...

So about 2 weeks ago I caught the "bug" that is going around here. It leveled me. Tuesday night I felt it coming on, and I called in sick on Wednesday. By 10:00 A.M., however, I felt I was being a wimp, dragged my butt out of bed and headed into work. Let me back up a bit. This all started the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. I had tried to have some leftovers for dinner on Tuesday and (what I thought was) something get stuck, in the centre of my abdomen. It just sat there. It caused me more pain than I had ever had before...even more so when I laid down. It was weird. Wednesday, as I mentioned, I "Sucked it up" and went into work for about 10:00 A.M. I was hacking and coughing and still had the ache in my chest. I even posted on the forum to get some help with what I thought was indigestion. By 4PM I was in AGONY, I was in tears and called my clinic. I spoke with the nurse who suggested that I should immediately go to emerg. Do not pass go, do not collect shampoo or toothpaste. So I checked myself into Guelph Gen. at around 6:00pm. I was immediately admitted, I had a CT , a bed-side ultrasound and a EKG. It was determined that I had a Gallbladder Attack.WTF is a Gallbladder?? I had vaguely heard the term before. I didn't know it's function.
I was in the Hospital for 3 nights, 4 days clearing up a UTI, Bladder and Lung Infection. I was released on a Saturday afternoon. I am scheduled for my Gallbladder surgery (Yay!! More scars!!) November 21. I am no longer in pain with the Gallbladder, though I can feel it coming on if I eat very spicy things. I was very lucky to have Dr. Bhojani, Dr. Foute-Nelong, and Dr. Reed. at my side.
What a ride!!
