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.

I'm sorry you're so sick! *hugs* Most of the adults in my family (mom, one aunt, one uncle, one grandmother - all on my mom's side) all had their gallbladder removed. For my mom it was the "cut into your stomach" surgery, but for my aunt it was laser. Recovery is still hard, but better than being cut into. I hope the change in diet brings you some relief, I know it's not tasty, but if it's helping then the blah food can be tolerated for a bit. The no chocolate? *cringe* I feel for you, that's got to suck.

I make my cakes like that a lot, you can not tell the difference between a cake mix made with applesauce and one with oil. Still tasty.

Try to feel better! *more hugs*
