So, I went to see the surgeon and he wants me to have the surgery May 7. I won't know until later what time or anything... but in 18 days I'll have surgery to have my gallbladder removed.
I'm not always in a lot of pain, but the pain will come and go, and he explained that. My gallstone is rather large, he explained, so sometimes it'll block the opening to my gallbladder and that's what causes the pain. And when it moves away from the opening, it no longer hurts. Or hurts less. Makes sense.
I'm totally nervous.
PS first he asked me how old I was and when I said, "26" he said, "You're an old lady, aren't you?" HEHEHE
