Jan 1st I went to the ER because of my chronic stomach pain - I was so tired of it by that point and I’m done being in pain.
Jan 2nd I took Kiera to the ER because she had Flu A and couldnt keep fluids down. A couple of days later, they admitted her in the hospital because she was losing weight.
Not long after that I had to take her to the ER again for ripping out her G-tube.
So plot twist, as it turns out my bad stomach pain is actually from my gall bladder, not my stomach as Ive been assuming with my history of ulcers. Sooo…
A couple weeks ago I met with a surgeon who told me how bad my gall stones were, asked about my symptoms, etc. Hes got me scheduled to have my gall bladder removed in less than 2 weeks. He says in my case it should drastically increase my quality of life. I’m literally counting down the days for my surgery.
Simply sending thoughts your way as you are in this process. I don’t know if you’ve already done the surgery by now, but I’m hoping that it all goes well and ends up being a MASSIVE relief for you. You deserve so much to not have to deal with this pain all the time.
Health battles are always difficult trust me I know from experience how difficult it can be, it seems as if the storm never stops roaring. The great thing is that every storm eventually gets quiet, so I just want to tell you to keep fighting
and know that hope is always alive! Good luck with your surgery!!!
The surgery went well. I had my surgical follow up today and was told I can start easing into regular physical activity now. I only just recently been able to get out of bed by myself and I still need some pain medication throughout the day, but the difference is night and day. This last weekend we had a family day out and for the first time in almost 10 years I was able to enjoy lunch without worrying about impending pain. I havent woken up in severe pain since the surgery.
