Gallbladder attack

Been wondering where I've been the past few days?  Here's a recap: Friday - I was pretty sick with a gallbladder attack.  Hubby stayed home from work to help me with the kids and take me to see our family doctor.  She ordered some blood tests and scheduled an ultrasound for Tuesday to look for gallstones. Saturday morning  - Hubby got up with the kids and let me sleep in (which was good 'cause I really didn't sleep much that night due to the pain).  Before I even got up, Hubby brought me the phone.  It was the doctor calling to say that she got the blood test results back and wanted me to get an ultrasound pronto, no waiting until Tuesday.  She pulled a few strings and got me in for one even though it was the weekend (and quite a drive away).  She also put in a call to her favorite surgeon. Saturday afternoon - I took a nap.  When I got up I was feeling just as bad, if not worse.  The doctor's words ...

TGIF!

It has not been a happy Friday, but I'm glad it is Friday.  I have been the victim of a gallbladder attack (or at least, that's what the symptoms point to).  I made at trip to the doctor and spent the rest of the day immobilized by some pretty nasty pain...and this from a woman who had two kids with no pain medication!  So, not much today, but hopefully I'll be back soon.
