Am I dreamin???

[Guest guest]

Hi Listers!

I don't write often, but do enjoy all the information and stories from

all of you on the list. I especially enjoy Mike's latest humor...had me

going for a minute...thought he had eaten some " nasty pills " or

something. I feel that way right now, as matter of fact. Along with the

FM/CFIDS and all the other daily BS, just recently had a gallbladder

attack that put me in the hospital. Was in EXCRUCIATING pain from 7 am

on Thursday 'til 3:30 am Saturday, even with them running Nubain and

Phenergan IV, was still having attacks like clockwork. Doctor kept

saying " no stones " showing...stomach virus (give me a break)!! I have

had these periodic episodes off and on for at least ten years and the

last time I had anything in my stomach to vomit this time, it was PURE

bile, and there's no mistaking that stuff! I insisted that Doctor check

further, as I KNEW it was gallbladder. My body and I communicate well,

thank you very much. This was by far the worst and longest lasting

attack, and trust me when I say I would have rather given birth to

triplets! Well...FINALLY, the Doctor decided to call for a HIDA scan.

It showed that I did indeed have a bad gallbladder... " dyskenetic " or a

" lazy " gallbladder. *S* Tickles me when I can PROVE to the medical

community what I know to be a fact with my body. So, surgeon agreed to

remove the nasty thing...never had anything lazy in my whole body in my

whole life! Like a lot of you, always did my work and someone else's

too! Had a very smooth laparoscopic surgery Thursday and drove myself

home Friday (although still " under the influence of narcotics " ), but did

not let them know that...I just HATE to be in the hospital...you can't

get any rest or sleep! The Percogesic the surgeon gave me for pain

makes me nervous and VERY irritable, so tapering off that crap! Anyway,

just wanted to " sound off " a bit! *S* Now, I can eat my good home made

chicken and dumplings without the fear of an attack from that little

goober. I had an excellent surgeon, and prepared myself mentally before

the surgery, and he was bragging to my Primary Care Physician what a

good patient I was. *S*

I would also like to ask you all to do me a favor. I have some poems at

another site (still too illiterate or too chicken to try to build my own

web site) that I would like to share with you all. I aspire someday to

be published...not necessarily the poems...and I would like for you

honest, hardcore, thick=skinned listers to read these poems and tell me

if you think I should keep on dreaming or hang it up...especially you

published, working writers. I really need some personalized mail too,

as I am feeling very lonely right now. (Post gallbladder depression??)

*LOL*...Sorry, about the ramblin, but I am on drugs and an FMer, so know

you all understand.

Soft, warm, fuzzy hugs to all of you. *S*
