i went to the doctor...

during my appointment, i happened to be having a GB attack... anyway he pressed on my GB and i saw stars.... i almost lost my breath.... anyway he said i'm having a GB attack, my GB is swollen... he was going to give me a shot but since i drove there he couldn't.... he gave me a prescription for demerol and said if it gets too bad, to go to the ER.... it already is TOO bad i am going to try and stick it out at home for a bit because of my daughter.... anyway he wants me in for blood testing first thing in the AM to see how my liver enzymes are or something.... if they are abnormal he is going to get me in with the surgeon before may 10th...

Re: i went to the doctor...

Hey mama2cutie--

I'm sorry you had an attack, but I guess it couldn't happen at a better time, right? Maybe now they will be able to help you! I hope so, and I'll say a prayer for you.
Keep us posted...

Re: i went to the doctor...

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

Re: i went to the doctor...

You are welcome, Mama.

Maybe your GB attack was just meant to happen there at your Doc's office, so they can DX what is going on with you.
I hope you get a good nights sleep, sweetie.

Re: i went to the doctor...

Hi, I hope you can get some relief. I had my GB out in the 90's. They had just started that new lap way to do it. Lucky me had have the old way but it went well.
I hope you can get some help soon. Polly
