I find it a little ironic that my last post is titled 'I'll be checking into the ER tonight', since yesterday morning I actually did check into the ER. Yes, again!
Same pain, only this time it started at 6am and i made myself not panic, took a shower to try and make it go away, tried to talk myself out of going to the ER but Barry and my Dad talked me into going. Only this time we went to the real hospital, LDS, instead of Lakeview.
According to the ER Doc she couldn't believe that Lakeview sent me home last time without checking my gallbladder, pancreas or kidney's. Healthy female, 29 and chest pain is rarely a heart issue, it is referred pain.
So you will be happy to know that my previous episode was not a panic attack but it was gallstones. Lots of them, blocking my gallbladder completely. So they took me to surgery and I am now gallbladder free. Which means I am now on a mandatory low fat diet for the rest of my life. I figure this is not a really bad thing and hope to loose some weight from the whole thing.
I have 4 little incisions on my belly that the kids want to look at every 20 minutes but I'm feeling pretty good over all thanks to the pain meds. :)
Granny had Sara and Jena for the day and Teri took Ry to the Real Soccer game so thanks to them for watching the kids. While at Costco Jena wanted to buy me these flowers and made Barry and I and Ry all cards because she did not see us all day. She was so excited to give them to us but we didn't get home till 11pm last night so she had to wait till this morning. She is such a sweety when she wants to be!

Hey I had my Gallbladder out as well. While I was 5 months preg. with Colton. Not fun.
So I was reading from the most recent to older on your blog and now realize why you had an infection. I hope it is getting better.
