Results!

So in just the past month I have had the following tests done...
*Colonoscopy
*Pancreas/stomach blood tests
*Ultra Sound
*Upper Scope
*Biopsys
*Hida Scan
And I am SOO happy to say we FINALLY got some results. The purpose of the hida scan was to test my gall bladder, which is what we have been suspecting for the past 3 years or so, but couldnt get any doctor to listen long enough. So they injected me with a chemical that is supposed to cause a gall bladder attack if thats what it is. I got a little bit nauseous but it wasnt anything horrible, so I figured dang it, its not that either. That night I got REALLY sick. Then on monday I called to get my results all the nurse would say was "he'll tell you at your follow up on wednesday." So i get there Wednesday morning and he says a normal gall bladder functions at 35 percent and mine is at 1.5 percent, which means its barely releasing anything at all. So he referred me to a surgeon. We met with him yesterday and as he was reading my results he says wait, wait, wait. Your gall bladder is NOT at 1.5 percent its at NEGATIVE 1.5 percent. Which means its not releasing ANY bile at all. It just keeps getting bigger as bile produces in it. So during the test, rather than releasing the chemical, it just held it in there and got larger. So next Thursday, March 11th I am getting my gall bladder out. Im so scared, but so relieved at the same time. I wont have to live with pain EVERYDAY. I told my surgeon, "I dont know what I'd do if I woke up one morning and wasn't in pain! I think I'd freak out!"

ALSO...
Happy 8 months to my smokin hot fiance. I can't wait to start forever. We get sealed in 1 month and 5 days. And its dragging! I LOVE YOU BABE!
