Gall Bladders suck ass!
Well, I just woke up. Last night I went to bed at midnight, woke up at 1:30 am. I put up with the pain until I couldn't any more. So off to North Memorial Medical Center we flew. Drove actually, Tyler really did the driving, I did the moaning, groaning and complaining about the public infrastructure which does not provide money to our crappy roads. Every bump, crack and huge hole caused me to scream out in pain.
Once we got there, I had the honor of waiting for a bed for 45 freaking minutes. I thought maybe they were planning on having me just wait until Monday then take me back to do the surgery. FRICK!!
Once I got taken back the very nice doctor gave me MORPHINE!!! I love MORPHINE!! It made the pain go away. The doctor came back asked how my pain was, it went from a 10 to a 1 maybe 2. He thinks it was just a really bad attack. He says if it was to come out right then it would mostly be an open surgery, because it is inflamed. He gave me the option of going home and if the pain comes back to come back, at which point they would take the gall bladder immediately. He said if the pain would have still been there once the morphine kicked in he would have suggested surgery immediately.
He told me I was a great patient, even though I was in pain I was still upbeat and pleasant. He said it is refreshing.
So now I am home, I have a script for vicodin and an anti-vomiting med. He advised me to take the anti-vomiting med at the on set of an attack, then the vicodin 20 minutes later.
Hopefully we will be able to put the surgery off until Monday, I I don't want to miss seeing Bob Saget after all. However, if the pain comes back, Bob can kiss my ass, I will be in the OR getting my Gall Bladder removed.
I will continue to fill folks in as I know more.
Thanks everyone for putting up with my drug induced rant. LOL Did I mention morphine is good?
