Something About Nothing ... #12

[tinydancer09]

MonyK.......best wishes for your mother. Cancer is indeed horrible Glas to hear she is doing well.......good to hear! Thanks for wishes for dh.......he is on the mend........getting chattier by the day.........

Tiny, just before I was due to get my gb out I got an infection in the duct, ended up in getting admitted to hospital under emergency conditions and was there for 10 days. Put me on morphine which I was eventually taken off of after 6 days.......almost an addict by then!!! Now, that was a headache coming off of that!! Anyway, spent half my time screaming for them to take it out and the other half sedated. Awful. Consultant patiently explained he couldn't take it out while I was so badly infected. A month or so later I was well enough to have surgery, fortunately keyhole worked and I never looked back. Worked perfectly for me and the relief knowing I'll never experience that pain again is immense.

Such a shame if you still have issues........it's a much higher rate of success over here.......consultant explained over 95% of people go on to have no issues at all. 50/50 is not great is it! Your Hair looks lovely though

Glad they caught the gator.



Another beautiful day here......had amazing thunder and lightning last night...........we missed the torrential rain thankfully that those inland are getting. So didn't get much sleep again last night..............between dh and thunder.............

Off to vote in our referendum soon.......

Have a great Thursday..........

Wow that sounds horrendous! I'm glad you're all well. I will say the doctor was talking about in terms of being able to eat the foods you want to eat, not pain or stones or anytbjng of the sort. The removal of the gal bladder does help all of the later symptoms. Fortunately I was not having pain at all so he was saying that it's very iffy to if it will fix the upper Gi problems I was having.
My personal theory is my problems are much different than normal people's. Most times (so or my doctor said) is that gall bladders old the bile and don't release it properly or they start producing stones which are awfully painful.
Mine just shriveled up and wasn't doing anything so removing it essentially didn't change much. The bile has been bi passing and spilling into my gut without the gall bladders help for the longest time. Think it might be causing the whole thing to be out of Sorts and it's never regained composure. I've been taking probiotics lately and they seem to be helping s good bit.

@marciemi the gall bladder collects the bile that your liver makes and releases it when needed. It helps break down fats on your small intestine. It's pretty much the dawn dish soap of the gut. Lol!

OMG Shumi, that sounds horrendous! So glad they sorted it for you. It sounds like you were in pain i couldnt even imagine. Did you get it done by the NHS?

It was the worst thing ever........would give birth naturally 10 times over than go through that again! Glad to get rid of it........

All those issues with MIL was associated with her gallbladder too, no fun at all. Schumi, sounds like you had a heck of a time.

Oh bless your MiL.........I was lucky I was young enough and healthy enough to deal with all that came with it, but for older people the complications can be dreadful.......Yeah, you don't forget brings like that......but hey ho.......

Suits you blue.........

Thanks for the best wishes-I tend to not blab about stuff like that as I feel it is her journey-but she sounded soooo much better and way more upbeat than I've heard in a while now. She was manager over Home Health at BJC for a long time so she know lots of docs and which ones are good etc. They've done a marvelous job of taking care of her. There is no harder patient than a former RN! (yeah just try faking sick to stay home from school with a nurse in the house )


Breezy and humid again today. Off to Branson for couple hours then meeting up with friends at one of their houses for girl time/pool party/happy hour. We usually get together for at least a happy hour couple times a month but as hot as it is one of them offered her pool instead

Yes I think former nurses and their ilk do make the worst patients at times.........I have an aunt who was a old style matron and you couldn't nurse her at all.........she was always telling everyone she was fine and leave her alone......lol......

Gotta love a girly get together.........I have a couple of lovely groups of girlfriends and we always have a blast!


Think I'm inheriting dh cold. Got the sore throat and headache.........his turn to pamper me.........bless him.......I am a better patient than I am nurse........good job he's getting better!

He's making dinner right now........not sure what we're having

Looking good tinyD

Carole...glad to hear Tom is doing better and fixing dinner...I think he's a keeper. Hope you get better soon

I had a gallbladder infection once when I was a teenager, not fun. I lost 13 lbs in 4 days. That was the first and last time I weighed 102 pounds.

MonyK...healing thoughts and prayers for your mom.

I renewed my AP today and knew when I called that they would try to charge me the non resident price ...sure enough that's what happened...lady quoted me $270 with tax...I said "no, no I have a resident pass" she said "you have a GA address" I said "my pass is a FL resident pass which is good for GA too" she said "okay, then it will be $239" sheesh, would it be possible to train the phone agents better. I think sometimes that they do it on purpose to see if we will pay the full price.

It's been so hot here that I've been trying to get my yard work done as early as possible. While cutting the grass this am I discovered that my peach tree, which was loaded with fruit had the main branch broken. I blame the drought...I'm going to do a rain dance...want to join me mac?

This humidity makes me want to cut my hair. But then I think how many guys my age have a full head of wavy blond hair?

Thanks for the very warm welcome!! I would try to post your replies individually but I need a little more practice time to figure out that function. I am another sans gallbladder. No stones just non-functioning. Glad to be rid of it A stormy day here in the mid-Atlantic (SE VA) but a beautiful weekend ahead. Low 80s and sunny. Can't ask for any better than that.

Oops...I forgot to the darkside cam.

That sounds horrible. So there's nothing they can do as far as catching the bile some other way? Glad it's better but still doesn't sound "good".

Oh, and I really like your haircut. Think it looks much more "defined" and calls attention to your face than the really long hair does (which tends to drag your eyes down to the ends of the hair). My hair has pretty much never been long in my entire life. I tried growing it out for almost 4 years once and at least got it to one length but that was about it (and still barely over my collar). Mine is so fine that it splits and even if I don't get it cut they always need to cut as much off as it grows or else I have tons of frizzy split ends.

Good afternoon from hot and humid Orlando homies.
We haven't been to the parks for 2 days due to for some reason I have been hurting in my legs and hips and my guess is I am just not use to the heat but did get to take DW to the Holy Land cause she has been wanting to go there for years and she loved it.
But enough about me hope everyone is doing well.

Thought he was a red head. In the cartoon it was short and tall

Really?
Thought he was a large dude and looked like Samson


Wait.....are you thinking he was a red head ?
Then he must be a homie ...

New Tarzan is one h-o-t dude! Nice 'do, it's still long in my book. Correct on the gallbladder duties. Took awhile for my body to adjust re eating after surgery last year. Was thrilled to be able to eat small amounts of ice cream again.

Mac - Thinking there is a plethora of hair from which to pick & choose in our parts, most here fans of 'big hair'

Even my GD is over Frozen. I enjoyed the movie, in heavy rotation until she tired of it. Really enjoy the live show @ MGM. She's OD'd on princesses (yea!) but still loves the classiccharacters. Works for me, one less line to stand in when there. Book a character meal or two, try to find Stitch and all the boxes are checked with more time to ride.

StL - ouch, perhaps a WC?

 

[macraven]

I'm so jealous that you all had your gall bladder removed and I haven't

I want to join your club

Here's my crazy hair, to end your confusion

We don't need anymore votes so I can win

But what do I win ?
A paid vacation to the darkside maybe....

I was clwanifn earlier too. Apparently my parents are coming to down this weekend? Something about getting things out of storage. They seem to think that can be done in one day. They are insane.

I usually do floors and what not once a week. My hair falls out pretty bad when it's long so I vacuumed it all up and got rid of it. Still finding it in my car.... Guess I need to get it detailed.

Enjoying watching all the men's sports though. Sync diving earlier and now gymnastics.
