I just want to eat pizza.

Well as my last blog post was about the birth of my second child this one is kinda like what's been going on since.

When I was pregnant I was getting these nasty nasty attacks. I was having sharp pain in my stomach on the left side and went to my back. When I have these attacks I also can't breath so I have my inhaler handy to try and get through them. At times they last for a few minutes or a lot longer. Most of these came from my diet. My diet isn't the greatest. Me and my husband are pretty lazy when it came to cooking. But I had a good excuse I was 6 month pregnant and the boy was sitting so low I was always in pain if I stood too long. This made doing dishes or cooking extremely difficult. When our baby was out I was recovering and it made it difficult as well. We ended up eating greasy food and what not. I mean when I was pregnant I craving pizza... when I ate pizza it will kick my butt the same night. I want to eat pizza again.

Well my ob thought it was heartburn I was on meds for a good while and I still had these attacks. Being annoyed I went to my regular doctor and asked him if it could be my gallbladder. Since I didn't disclose the key fact it comes right after I eat greasy foods like pizza. (I just want to eat pizza) He wanted me to take the heartburn meds twice a day. I did that for a week or so, he also ordered labs. They didn't show anything to suggest gallbladder is what my doc said when he got the results. In the midst of all this I was breastfeeding and dealing with the pain of the gallbladder without pain meds. After the new year I emailed the my doctor. I love this feature of being able to email him and say what do you think? This saved me an appointment to his office since he ordered an ultrasound to have it checked out, that took 1 week and a half to get into in itself.

January 7th I went in for an ultrasound at the Broadway building. Early in the morning we went to the appointment. By 9am I got an email I had gall stones. Also that he suggested a surgery to remove it. I sent the info for the surgeon who did my mom's hernia, and my aunt Kelis gallbladder surgery. My appointment with him was Monday the 11th. He asked his questions and did an exam then we discussed the surgery. The scheduler wasn't sure when we could get in because she had to coordinate with an assistant. I got the call from her today the 12th at 10:30. Surgery is Tuesday the 19th at 7:30am. My first though I had to call russ and inform him of this. I also texted my family, informed my work, lucy's school of pick up drop off arrangements, and had to rearrange the appointments I already had that day.

My hope with this surgery that we can eventually go back to reality and live life and not have another surgery or major health problem for awhile.
