When are they going to take that thing out? Tell them you know some crazy folks that offered to do it for $100.00. I'll only charge $50 in the friends and family discount.
What thing out? The gall bladder? That's been gone for 3 weeks. That's what they were doing the pathology report on along with some mystery tissue. I am not itching or yellow and I'll take that but I know I am not normal and let's not discuss my normal range. On my best day, I can barely do abnormal.
I also have stopped dropping a pound a day and I will take that as a very good sign because that concerned the GI doc more than anything. It's one of those first sign things but I stopped losing after a month. I am not sure how much was the gall bladder and how much was the energy burned scratching. I could have easily worked off a pound a day. He also said it could have been my messed up sleep pattern, for 3 weeks I didn't sleep over an hour at a time. I coasted through the MRI like a trooper because I was just too tired to be claustrophobic.
Egads, I sound like one of those old women under the hair dryer at the salon and I swore that would never be me, talking about all my ailments and my pills.
And speaking of pills, and I was, why did they stop making pills in all those cool colors so my great grandmother and grandmother would know which ones to take and when before they settled down to an afternoon of talking to the soap operas with a lot of Oh no's and um, um, um.....disapproving of someone's behavior, usually a low down cheatin' man. That's why I stayed faithful, I could hear them going um, um, um if I strayed. I could also hear my wife's threat of the mantle and pickle jar. Personally, I thought the mantle was overkill. And depending on what ground I was on, often shaky, that could be anything from a gherkin jar to the large jar of hamburger dills.
Ok, see how I fixed that whining about my ailments, right back to abnormal thinking.....works every time.
Seriously, love you guys for the support, means a lot to me. Other than my older son, because he's been my driver, none of my family or friends know about this. I figure if there's something to tell them, I will tell them then. I have told my buddy Mike and his reaction made me sorry that I did. You tell people that have lost loved ones to that monster that it might be back in their life, it is a real punch to the gut.
