Default Back from the ER...

Wow, second trip to the ER this year. I am beginning to be a pro at that place, they should give me frequent flyer miles or something to be seen sooner.

Anyhow, not as serious as my first trip of course (admitted and diagnosed with MS), but still yucky nonetheless. Last night I was extreme pain in my abdomen, it all of a sudden started in the span of 10 minutes, went from mild pain to me bursting into tears and getting my mom top take me to the ER.

After a long and painful wait, I found out today that my gallbladder is rittled with gallstones and sludge (whatever that is). However, since there is little to no inflammation they are not going to remove it, just gave me drugs and sent me home. WTF?!?!?!

Now I do not EVER want to feel that pain again. I pride myself on having a high tolerance for pain and I can honestly say that I have never felt anything like that before.

Now I don't know much about this, but can gallstones pass? I did not think they could.

Regardless I am going to see my family doctor and see what he says. Right now I do not need anything else medical going on with me, my plate is full enough. If they can remove it, I want them too, one less worry.
