Pain?

[Ginger's Mom]

I was pretty amused to see that you can fill out an form and get an appointment online. I have never heard of anything like that at a doctor's office before. In any case, I will be thinking good thoughts for you today, Dawn.

Update? Status? What did the doctor say?

My plastic surgeon is sending me for yet another scan - an MRI this time. May as well, they've done everything else. Then we'll discuss surgery, which he said was a 50/50 chance of relieving my pain. We'll see...

Thanks for asking. I'm sorry you're still having pain, too.

I have to go for a full abdominal ultrasound tomorrow at 9:45. I know they don't hurt, but I'm scared at what it will find. My pain is on the right, why did she order a full ultrasound?

First thing comes to my mind is to look at both ovaries. Also it's kinda hard also to just ultra sound 1/2 a stomach area because of all the other organs being located throughout that area. Do whole thing and you get all organs in one shot.

I just got back from having the ultrasound. She wasn't allowed to tell me anything about what, if anything she found, but she said I'll live, which is always a good thing.

It'll be next week before I get the results.

I know what you're feeling like right now.... I had a full series of ultrasounds Monday. I have to wait til the second week on November to hear the results. Talk about nerve wracking!

I hope your tests come back normal. If it is your gallbladder... no biggie. The surgery to remove it today is fabulous. I had mine out years ago and was up and about within a wek as if nothing ever happened. Both my parents recently had their out and recovered remarkably well (mom was seriously worried about the recovery)

Is surgery the only option for a gallbladder?

I hope your tests come back normal too. Then we can party.
