welp, update on the ol' gallbladder

[Rocky]

Going for a surgery consultation today, had another really bad attack went to the emergency room and apparently ive got about 6 little gallstones and one pretty large one. A lot of sludge build up too so yeah, should be fun.

What do you mean by attack? Reason I ask is sometimes I think I am having troubles with mine.

if you have an attack you will know, it feels like your insides are on fire and you get a radiating pain on the right side of your body. the first one i had i thought i was going into liver/kidney failure because it hurt completely through my back. this second one i knew what it was and got off the mountain as soon as possible before it got too bad. if i wasnt wearing my safety harness i would have fallen out of my treestand probably.

Hope all goes well for you.

ahh the surgery is no big deal now a days I dont reckon. I plan on working after i get it done if they will let me, if not i may do it anyway. but i guess not listening to doctors is how i got this way in the first place. thanks for the well wishes though.

You're better off without the darn thing!
When they start developing stones thats when everything you do and eat revolves around the gallbladder (and sometimes then it still flares up).
Best of luck - hope you're rid of it soon!
