So, here's another Monday, which is almost like the start of the weekend for me, because I usually work all weekend long and I get a break on Mondays, but I do go to work tonight so tomorrow is my weekend. Anyway.
I may or may not have to have my gallbladder removed. I had some sort of attack one night about a week ago, and that was actually the thrid attack of that kind in about 3 or 4 months, so they came few and far between, but the pain was great! I would get this pain at night before bed, so my doctor office was of course not open and I didn't want to go to the emergency room if I could at all avoid it. So I wait, I sit, I stand, I lay in a hot bath, trying to make the pain go away, but nothing really helps but time. Eventually, it feels good enough for me to get some sleep. So I went to the doctor the next day. He said it sounds like a classic gall bladder case. So he sends me for a sonogram to be sure. That test comes back and they can't tell for sure about the gall bladder, but there is a spot on the liver that they call a "hemangioma", like a benign blood clot or tumor. So they send me for a CT scan, at a different place for some unknown reason. That comes back and they are still not sure what is going on in there, so now I have an appointment with a speciallist! My insurance does not cover things 100% so I am getting frustrated at this whole ordeal! I thought it was going to be an easy thing, like "Oh, lets take out the gall bladder and be done with it!" But NO! It's more like," Let's spend every dime you have to figure out that maybe nothing is wrong anyway!" I don't know. I guess I should be happy if everything is okay, but then where did that bad pain come from? What the hell??? Figure out what is wrong with me and just fix it already!
