My gallbladder, not to be outdone by John's gallbladder, has figured out how to make stones and landed me in the emergency room for the night about two weeks ago. Fortunately I wasn't as far gone as John was so I didn't have to have emergency surgery to remove mine. I have had to spend a lot of time at the hospital and the doctors office though. It's probably going to have to be removed but they keep saying encouraging things like "Outpatient surgery" and "elective." Eating is kind of hard-I'm not having hunger pangs so I forget to eat-which makes my gallbladder hurt. Or I eat something but I have no sense of hunger or fullness so I eat a bite full or two too many and my gallbladder hurts. >.< Needless to say I've lost about 12 lbs since all this started-although I can't really recommend my methods!
Ankle update: My ankle is fine now. I ended up getting a steroid injection into it (very painful!) and that cleared it up. In time for my gallbladder to act up LOL!
