Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Thank you everyone for your condolences. Flying out to get my dad's ashes was the hardest day of my life. That with the job change/background plus starting my new business (www.faithfulthoughts.com) - anybody have a plane ticket to the Bahamas they wouldn't mind passing my way??? When I started having the pain, about two and half years ago - they assumed gall bladder. They did a sonogram at that time and didn't see stones or blockages or anything so they did a HIDA scan. That revealed that my gall bladder wasn't working at all so they took it out. I assumed I would feel better right away. Not so. When they did that sonogram though they indicated that there were " deposits " throughout most of my liver - nothing worth doing a biopsy on, they assumed it was fatty. After the surgery, they did another sonogram because I was still having pain - this time the liver didn't show the deposits anymore and my enzymes were normal for the first time in 5 years. Then I had a tumor removed from my left breast in February (benign thank God) and when they ran my enzymes then, they were back to elevated. Now I'm back to the pain in my right side. Just below the rib cage nearly at the bottom. Its frustrating because about the time I'm ready to go to the doc about it - it quits for awhile. I haven't had cholesterol ran for a few years, but last time I did it was monstrous high and I have high blood pressure as well. I should have them check the cholesterol again - that could well be the problem. Thanks again everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
