Figuring it all out

For over a month now I have been suffering from flu-like symptoms: stomach pain, nausea, etc. and pain in my right side and back. I finally reached my limit late last week and made a doctor's appointment. I went yesterday and he feels it may be my gallbladder. Apparently I have three of the four criteria: 40, woman, and family history. (My younger sister had her gallbladder removed about 3 years ago.)

So, I had an ultrasound of my abdomen yesterday afternoon. The technician said that she did not see any gallstones but I won't find out until today or tomorrow what my doctor says.

In the meantime, I continue to feel yucky but I can function.


To update on Joshua, he has an appointment with the Othropedic tomorrow morning at 9:00. His pain meds are keeping him comfortable and he's getting around better with the crutches, though all of the effort in moving really wears him out. We're hoping for good news from the doc. Something like a sprain or strain would be nice. I'll post as soon as I have word.
