I'm Not Crazy Afterall

So, in my last post I was not feeling well, and I'm still not. I thought it was stress or a food allergy. I really didn't know what was going on. I tried everything I could think of to start feeling better. It wasn't the first time I had stomach aches and I was sure that I could get rid of them on my own. Well, after a month of not feeling well, and actually feeling worse as time went on, I decided I needed to go to the doctor. I was sure the doctor wouldn't find anything because I still believed it was just stress, but I couldn't take it anymore. I was going crazy.

The doctor was great. He listened to me ramble about what was going on and what I thought it was. He set me up to have an ultrasound and I had some labs drawn. I don't think he bought any of what I was saying about my stress or my theory that I had an ulcer, but he listened and was very helpful.

This morning I had my ultrasound. They checked my liver, my gallbladder, my stomach, my kidneys, and my pancreas. I was sure they wouldn't find anything and that I would end up having a bunch of more tests to go through. After the ultrasound the technician told me it would be a couple days until I had the results.

A few hours later I got a call from my doctor's nurse. The results were in. I have gallstones and they are setting me up with a specialist to take care of it. There is a lot running around in my mind now. One, I am so grateful for my doctor for rushing all of this through for me. He is awesome. Two, I don't want to have surgery, but I am glad that what I have is treatable and that we have the technology to take care of it. And three, how on earth am I going to take care of a one year old post-op? I'm a little nervous about all of this, but I am glad I'm not crazy, and I'm looking forward to being well soon.
