I thought i had been battling the stomach virus my kids had for about 2 weeks had continued my workouts and was doing a low carb diet, my body was so wore down the other night, i was sick and in pain, not wanting to disrupt my household to make sure i did not need around of antibotics, i took myself to the ER, I explained i had been sick and was in pain, not knowing really what was wrong they offered to do a ctscan, me thinking i was over reacting that i just had a stomach virus still almost backed out but she said to just be safe lets do it. so i agreed had already been there 5 hours a little longer would not hurt. than almost backed out a second time because they had put my IV in my hand and it was very tender so the dye hurt extremely bad. but i gritted through it, a little later they came back and said i had some thickening and gallstones, and had to do an ultrasound. than it was decided it needed to come out, as i was all alone at 5am in the morning at the ER my husband had the kids and no car, and My son had a cardologist appt that had took 3 monthes to get in at the time i made the appt, and had been worrying about the heart murmur the whole time. (turned out to be an innocent heart murmur that will not affect him!!) I asked if i could post pone the surgery, so now i get to wait through the holiday and set up surgery through a surgeon, going through alot of nausea medicine and pain medicine it always seems worse when you really now you are sick and that it will not just go away. :( I will be having surgery on WED. pre op appointment tomorrow. than recover and my stiff muscles that are missing their work out i did not realize how much 15 to 30 mins each night was helping though, i had so much bloating it did not show in my weight. :(
