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.

Adding my voice to Maygra's and the others'. I had laparoscopy sixteen years ago. Had almost zero post-op discomfort and was back at work in no time. The run up to the surgery wasn't so much fun because I'd put it off WAY too long and spent five days in the hospital with bouts of pancreatitis (omfg ow!) and fever before they could operate. Given a do-over, I'd have the thing out as soon as I could.

Ah. This is my first flare up. Go figure. Hopefully, I'll be able to have it out within 1-2 months. Cause I don't like it anymore. *nod* Thank you!
