My Pain

You know that you will be in my prayer gabs. If it were me I'd be so furious with that hospital for not thinking of giving you an Ultra Sound Scan WHILE YOU WERE there!! This could have avoided a lot of the pain you are feeling now, and could have been discovered a week ago instead of prolonging this. Well I hope your doctor can get that scan as fast as possible now and can find out once and for all if it is your gallbladder. Poor Gissi he must be beside himself with worry wondering what is wrong with his mum...yes, animals can be so perceptive and can know when something is wrong.I hope you can sleep better tonight and without too much pain-- (((hugs)))

Oh dear I'm sorry to hear you are going through all of this. I was all day and last night dealing with a migrain head ache - but like you was off the computer or we could have kept each other company in our pain. I am feeling a bit better this morning and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you will feel better and the doctors will be able to help you.

What are we going to do with you eh? This is not good! Poor Gissi is worried sick and the poor boy feels helpless, poor Gabs, you are certainly having a tough time of it, big hug from Wolfie and thanks for keeping us informed, hugs to Gissi too, I guess he'll be busy looking after his patient this weekend, tell him I'm be out being a bad wolf tomorrow night xxx

oh damn I figured ya giot worse when ya wasnt on IM this morning when I got on. Hoping this Doc finds whats wrong and if its gallbladder ya might just have to have it removed. praying for you to get better hugs hugs hugs hugs and blessings

Gabs, I'm so sorry to hear that you went through all this alone. I had that problem too, in September 2006, and it took them three and a quarter hours to get me to the hospital. By the time I got there and they had checked me for diabetes and one thing and another, the pain had gone, but I had x-rays, not ultrasound. They were supposed to send me an appointment for an ultrasound but it never came, and luckily, I have managed to avoid another attack by following a certain ritual at mealtimes. Right... you know my mobile number. If this happens again in the night and there is nobody else around, I want you to call me. One way or another, I will get a ride to you and be with you in a couple of hours. It's no trouble for a good friend, so please don't hesitate. You need to think of yourself as well as Gissy because one time, it might be just that little bit more serious than you think. So, promise me, that's what you'll do, Sweetheart. I don't care what time of day or night it is, and if you can't get an answer, keep calling until you wake me up! Right, telling-off over :)! I do hope they can get it sorted for you soon, and that they'll find a way of doing the op, so that it puts the minimum of strain on your lungs. I think they are more able to do that in this day and age. My friend had a kidney stone removed by keyhole surgery, so perhaps it can be done with your condition in mind. Do try not to worry about it too much, Gabs, but at the same time, make sure you're doing the best you can for you. I know you love Gissi and vice versa, but you don't want to leave him alone for a long period of time, when a trip to the hospital might shorten your time away. Love and hugggs and Brightest Blessings for a speedy recovery. Love you. xxx

I'm sorry to hear you are going through so much pain but happy that you did get to see your doctor. It does sound like gall bladder to me and am surprised that you weren't ordered an Ultra Sound sooner than this. Of course that will tell the whole story. I will be watching for updates and putting you in my prayers at night.

Hi sweets Im sorry sorry your having that pain again. It does sound like your gallbladder. I was off the computer all day yesterday. Im glad you went to the doctors today. Just rest and take it easy today. So when is your ultrasound? I hope you feel better and get some relief.Love and hugs to you!

I'm really sorry to hear about your pain I hope they get it sorted quickly I will be praying for you. It must be pretty scary for you right now.

Oh Gabs, That is terrible. I know how pain can take over. I hate pain. I do hope you feel better soon. Keep us informed. I will be thinking of you.

Oh sweetie...I hope the pain killers are helping you a bit. I so wish I could be there to help you with all of this. As usual, I am way behind on everything, so I didn't even realize you had been rushed to the hospital last week. Well I hope that doctor gets this all taken care of immediately and I hope he jumps down the throats of the hospital staff for not getting things done right the first time. Take care hon. Love you lots!

Oh, dear gabs! You have to get this done RIGHT AWAY! The pain from the gall bladder is so intensely painful and the onset is very sudden. Sorry to tell you--and I do not wish to alarm you--but it is very urgent you get this attended to right away. My hubby had a very intense pain two years ago, refused to go to the hospital. After about three hours of my constant nagging, and I guess he couldn't take the pain anymore, he asked me to take him to the hospital. It was his gallbladder and it was close to bursting. The doctor was not happy with him for not coming right away, but there was really nothing before this acute attack that even indicated he had a gallbladder problem. The operation took five hours!--instead of the three hours that it would have normally taken had the infection/inflammation not made it such a difficult and delicate operation. Can you get the kids to look after Gissi? If I were there I'd take the Elf in a heartbeat! But please---GO, GO, GO. If it is your gallbladder you can't afford to dilly dally. I'll be praying for you...and the Elf. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{gabs/Elf}}}}}}}}}}}}}}]]

I am very sorry to hear that. I pray god to make you healthy as he can. You know, prayers can do wonders.

I am sorry you are having to go through this. I had my gall bladder removed 8 years ago. I was pregnant with my son when it started acting up so you can imagine how terrible the pain was having both things going on at the same time. I was miserable. I know how you were feeling. I would get it out as soon as you can. My surgery was not all that pleasant because my gall bladder and liver were fused together and they did not know it until I was in surgery. I would ask for another ultrasound to check for something like that just to be safe.

Hi gabs I really hope they find out what is causing your pain so they can do sometime about it. I have some problems with my gallbladder and it can really hurt sometimes luckily I haven't had an episode so bad that I had to go to the hospital yet usually takeing tylenonl and laying flat has worked so far. I really hope you get feeling better and if you have to have your gallbladder out I wish you a speedy recovery.

Hi gabs I havent heard from you in a while and I didnt know you were rushed to the hospital last week.I am sorry to hear about this.I really hope you get better and I hope everything will be fine.A friend of mine had to get her gallbladder removed.She said the pain is no joke.I really hope you get well soon.Take care `~shaunita~

Gabs, I am so sorry, but if it is your gallbladder at least they can do something for you. You may even feel better. I have had friends tell me that that is the worst pain they ever had, from their gall bladder.

Oh my Gaby i'm so sorry that ya are having so much trouble but keep the faith and God Will see ya through it it will just be slow going

That is so scary, being in all that pain and alone. Poor Gissi. Such worry. I hope it is your gallbladder. My sister nad mother felt so much better after they had theirs removed. Of course, you are in so much more pain and difficulty breathing just adds to it. You're a brave lady, you know that?

gabs, pleasue insist that they run the lab work and do a liver panel to check the enzymes.... have them check if your gall stones have caused a block in the common duct bringing on pancreatitis...

Hi sweets.. Didn't I tell you to take care of yourself?? If it is your gall bladder, try applying a heating pad or other warm towels maybe to the area. I had tiny gall stones passing once. The pain was so intense, and I got nauseated. I went to the bathroom and never came out. Hubby came for me, by then, I could see and hear but could not move nor speak. My heartbeat dropped to 18 beats a minute. At the hospital they thought it was a urinary tract infection.. 3 hospital trips later they found the stones... watch what you eat, even bread can effect it. And try the heat. It helped a little while I waited for my surgery. Let us know how you are doing !!
