I have been having stomach issues for awhile now but I am a nurse and I am stubborn so I haven't went to the doctor. I work with all the GI doctors so I don't really want to go see them outside of my scheduled hours. One of them saw me holding my side and made some smart remark about I could come see him for a scheduled appointment or he could see me in the ER. It got bad enough one night that I almost thought about going to the ER but I talked myself out of it. I decided that I was going to research foods that trigger it and stop eating those. My gall bladder attack happened the night before Abby and I were suppose to go to Kansas City for our annual trip. I couldn't ruin that for her so I at least had to make it through the weekend!
Update: I did go to the doctor the next week and my labs were ok and so was an ultrasound of my gallbladder. So, I guess for now I am planning to keep all my original body parts intact. I have found that stress makes it worse and heavens knows I have been under a ton of stress. Not sure that the stress is going away anytime soon but hopefully I can at least manage it better so this doesn't happen again.
