I may be going in to surgery tomorrow. Writing this now in case things go bad and people wonder where I’ve gone. It’s probably the gall bladder.
Seems every Christmas someone in the family gets to spend it in the hospital or the morgue.
Anyways, I could really use some prayers. I’ll update you if I get a chance.
Update: The doctor(NPr) didn’t think it was urgent enough to go straight to surgery. I have an ultrasound tomorrow to check and see if the gall bladder is about to explode or has stones. We’re hoping for it just being a stone, but I would rather just have the dang thing out of me already.
Who knows, it might help the narcolepsy somewhat.
Update2: My primary wanted to check out the spine. Sure enough, my family tree strikes again. C5-6 shows degeneration, and a bone spur protruding into the nerve, causing a stinging pain in my arm. I’m thinking about hiring a physical therapist.
I also still haven’t ruled out the gall bladder though, even though the ultrasound came back normal. Both could be acting up at the same time, because the pain gets notably worse after eating. Either way, I’m hurting bad. Currently on muscle relaxers, steroids, and curcumin, K2, magnesium, and bile salts.
