The Gallbladder
*
I have known for a long time that both my mother and my grandmother have had to have their gallbladders taken out. My mom just a few weeks after the birth of my brother, during which I decided to pull my elbow out of socket. My poor father. Anyways, as I noted before, it was found in the course of my ultrasound in July that I have gallstones. They told me at that time that they may not do anything (ie cause any pain and such), but that it may be possible that I would have to have it taken out, either during or after my pregnancy.

Well, after I had that attack a couple of weeks ago, and seeing my doctor, she wants me to consult a surgeon. Yay. Not to say that my gallbladder is coming out now or even later, but just to consult and find out what is going on, the options, the possibilities of another attack, the importance of your gallbladder, what taking it out would do, yada yada yada. I am not really that excited about it, but I know that I never want to do the whole gallstone attack thing again.

So I guess we will find out later today what is going to happen. I will keep you posted.
