thank you Deda! i thought the same thing, even though i don't want to be going through this pain, i'm glad it happened today, because my doctor got to see me going through it.... this appointment was scheduled days ago, i was only going there to discuss the symptoms... i have taken the demerol and it has helped a lot painwise... and i feel sort of out of it but i can't sleep.... one reason probably because i managed to get in a little nap at 4pm and also because i can't seem to get comfortable, i need to sleep on my stomach and i can't because it hurts too much if i put pressure on my GB... but when i lay on my back i have shortness of breath from my asthma... anyway i guess eventually i'll knock out tonight... thanks for the prayers :)
