I figured I should probably stick a post up here and let everyone know what was going on. The State of the T Address, if you will. *grin*

So, here goes:

• I'm a very lucky person. Not only did I have a virus, the surgeon is fairly sure that my gallbladder also hates me. Go team me!
  
  
• This means that I get to go forth and get injected with dye on Wednesday, followed by a shot to make my gallbladder contract, so that they'll know what it's actually doing.
  
  
• In the meantime, I'm on the low-fat, low-spice low-flavor diet. I'm not kidding y'all. I can have lean meats, but no pork or processed meat, a few vegetables that aren't "gassy", breads as long as they're not buttery like croissants, bananas and apples. No dairy, no eggs, no oil, no chocolate, no nuts.
  
  
• If the surgeon is correct, my winter break just got filled with surgery to get rid of this bitch, because I am not eating like this forever.
  
  
• On the other hand, I am feeling mostly better, aside from occasional owies when I push my luck. So, y'know, that's a good thing. Also, Betty Crocker yellow cake mix made with applesauce instead of milk and eggs is pretty tasty. Needed more cinnamon, though. Will have to experiment.

Remind me next time and I'll show you my wee little scars. Nothing to it. I stayed out from work for a week more for the luxury of it than anything else. Laproscopy RULZ. The worst pain I had was in my shoulders (from blowing up my abdomen with air so it stretched my diaphgram) and my poor bruised belly button where they inserted the air. The other three incisions were nothing. And you will feel SO much better once it is gone. Plus the food thing? Yeah. And I started loosing weight FASTER once they took it out because my body was better able to metabolize fat without it. You have questions, I have answers, babe. :-) I'm so proud of you for getting it checked out and making a plan for taking care of it!

I saw them! They were v. cool. *grin* At this point, I just want this fucker gone. I'm tired of the diet, I'm tired of hurting, and I'm getting cranky. I'm sure I'll have questions, though, so thank you!
