No motivation, gallbladders and vicodin
I need to clean my room/the rest of the house. And i have no motivation to do so. Partly out of being lazy and partly from not feeling well.
Speaking of not feeling well. I was diagnosed with gallstones back in December/January and didn't really think anything of it. My doctor told me not to worry about them unless they started to cause problems. So i didn't. And then they started to bother me.
In the last couple months I've been having "gallbadder attacks". Which is basically when one of the gallstones gets stuck in the bile duct and causes more pain than should be humanly possible. They started happening only once every couple weeks. Then about once a week. Then a couple times a week. And now I'm starting to have them multiple times a day. Which is starting to get old real quick.
Today i had two of them and have been shaky and nauseous since the second "attack". And since the last one the pain hasn't been as severe as when i have an attack but has not subsided like it normally does. This obviously worried me so i called my doctor's office. The nurse i spoke to told me that if it got worse to go to the ER but that she would get me script for vicodin (which i've been eating like candy every 4 hours) and to come in at 8:30 tomorrow morning. She said at this appointment my doctor would examine me and decide from there whether i should be admitted to the hospital to have my gallbladder removed.
I have to say, i don't like the pain and would very much like for it all to stop but i am not very thrilled at the thought of possible surgery. =/
But we'll see what happens in the morning. Hopefully everything goes well.
