I had to go to the Emergency Room on Saturday Morning because I was extremely sick (had been having on and off pain for about a week). Doctors determined that I had a gallstone – even though I had my gallbladder removed in 2006! The stone was stuck in one of the ducts. I am one of the people who can still get stones even after having their gall bladder gone. Lucky Me. So I am now at home after being in the hospital for three days. I am not to work until next week, but other than that I have no restrictions.
The doctors are telling me since I am prone to stones I need to change to a low fat diet and keep my sugar down. More fun! But I will probably follow their advice – trust me, stones are no fun. So soon their will be a new, slimmer me!
I will get back to blogging about financial issues in the near future! I just need to get through taking these medications that make me feel wonky!
