$5,000.00- cat scan- polyps in gall bladder
$5345.00- MRI- polyps in gall bladder
$3200.00- ultrasound- swollen gall bladder with polyps
2 weeks ago- primary Doctor "gall bladder has to come out before it becomes an emergency" so he prescribes another test which took 2 weeks to get the appointment for and that is today at 8am.
2 nights ago the agony started and has not stopped. ER gives a drink of something disgusting to stop the pain and sends me home...
I WANT MY GALL BLADDER OUT NOW: please!!! (think good thoughts for me today).

We had a great time on Halloween with a handful (okay) a bunch of our grand babies a niece and a nephew. Pop-Pop and I; after 2 blocks offered to take 'lil' monkey Peyton Elizabeth home. (It was freezing cold). She got her first 2 bottom teeth and laughed the whole time. I cannot believe she was 5 months old on November 1st. Here are a few photo's:

So; for the first time I put a photo of my handsome, talented, adored and taken away from us much too soon brother, David in a post from the book. I thought it would be nice for people to see who they were reading about. It was a step for me.

I know a 'bad' question but how did the election go for you?
Anyone start Holiday shopping yet?
Have a powerful and positive week!

Oh been there, suffered through that gall bladder pain. Praying you are reading this while recovering from surgery.
ReplyDeleteOver 40 bloggers, huh? I'm 2 months over 40 -- does that count?
Christmas shopping underway. Doing lots with little!
I hope they suck that gall bladder out of you soon! I've never had gall bladder issues - it sounds pretty terrible.
ReplyDeleteYou said something so simple, and right where I'm at right now: "I am overwhelmed with blessings." I'm going to remember that tomorrow when I'm a little testy because I stayed up too late tonight! ;-)
Hope you feel better soon, and recover quickly!
I met lots of nice new bloggers at Java's over 40 too. Just wish I had time to visit them all every week!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the big deal about adding more followers? There's no way I can actually read all the blogs I follow every day, or even every week for that matter. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Visiting from FF.
I also suffered from the gall bladder pain. Sending you a big pain-killing hug!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your gall bladder! I hope it comes out soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a fun Halloween with your grandkids. They are cute!
I have started shopping for the holidays. I want to get it done early and enjoy December as much as I can!
I waited over a year to get mine out because they kept wanting more tests. It's all because they don't want to make a mistake and get a lawsuit. I understand now, but when you're in pain, it's hard to grasp.
ReplyDeleteThat Nemo costume is a hoot! What fun it looks like you all had.

I'mm so sorry to hear about your pain. My son is going through a similar experience and had his gall bladder ultrasounded this week. No fun! I hope you feel btter.
ReplyDeleteYour grandbabies are precious! You are blessed.
Congrats to your hubby's neice! That is quite an accomplishment.
Hope you have a wonderful and pain free weekend!
You and your gall bladder are in my thoughts. May you get relief very soon.
ReplyDeleteElections went okay for me. I'm used to not voting with the majority on most things, but happy with some of the results. Well, we'll see how happy I am after some of the winners are in office.
Hope you are scheduled for Gall Bladder surgery soon and it goes well. The elections went fine here, too. I hope we will have a government that truly listens to the people.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me that your gall bladder is now out? I hope so. Looks like Halloween went well and all the kids looked great! Congrats to your niece - very exciting! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you're ill! I had the very same condition and expensive gall bladder experience 4 years ago. Then I got 12 kidney stones after the procedure was 'finally' done. So drink LOTS of water afterwards! Even if you don't feel like it! Wish I'd know the possibilites of kidney stones. Geeezzz..:-P
ReplyDeleteI love the halloween pitures! Thanks for sharing & I hope your feel better very, very soon!!!
Hugs,
Coreen
Hope the gallbladder comes out soon! I've been there and it is no fun!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos and it looks like your Halloween was really special!
I have GB issues and probably should have it out, but so far dealing by diet has been okay -keeping my fingers crossed. I know it should be a fairly simple surgery if done before it becomes a huge problem, but me - Hospital shy - it's a long story...
ReplyDeleteHope your recovery is quick! Great fragments and photos!
Sorry to hear about your gall bladder! Hope you get some relief soon. The pictures are great!
