Now the struggle is not to lose TOO much
Have been struggling of late, with my first post-op complication (and one hopes, my ONLY post-op complication!). My gall bladder is going into spasm after everything I eat after the hour of 10 or 11 a.m. And yes, I’ve tried eating the same thing for lunch and dinner as I do for breakfast, but it still goes into spasm. I have no freaking idea what’s going on.
My primary care provider (love that man) has contacted the surgeons directly that he wants to have yank this malfunctioning organ, and they are supposed to call me to set up an appointment to talk to them about getting this done. I hope to hell they call this morning. I’ve been off work for a week, am looking at even more time off post-surgery, and need to get this done quickly.
If you’ve ever wondered what gall bladder spasms feel like, it’s much like having a balloon in your chest that someone is blowing up. Only the balloon has hammers, blunt objects that protrude on every side. It is bloody awful, and makes me squirm madly, trying to find some position, any position that will diminish the pain and will let me breathe. Hope to get this resolved soon.
