Down the toilet

Just when I thought things would possibly be getting a little better, instead there's something else tossed our way.

I've been having pain off and on for days ..... bloated feeling, pain, pressure. Wednesday night it was down low, and high around my heart. It got so bad, I was in tears, worrying that it was my heart (I had my yearly with my GYN almost 2 weeks ago, and my BP was a bit borderline, and an eye needs to be kept on it).

I started realizing the pain was coming after eating, and the severity of the pain varied. Last night, a couple hours after dinner, I was out shopping at Toys R Us with my mom and had another 'attack'. This time the pain was in my chest, and I had a stabbing pain in my abdomen on the right side. My mom mentioned the gallbladder, so once I was home I pulled it up on the internet and read about it.

Sure enough, I had most of the symptoms listed, so to my dad and husband's pushing, off the immediate care I went.

The diagnosis ..... I've got a UTI (didn't expect that one) and they think it's my gallbladder. I was sent home with a printout on Gallbladder Disease, and the name of a gastro doctor in the area that they want me to make an appointment with. They also did bloodwork and a urinalysis, so if anything comes up that needs to be addressed immediately, they'll call me. Otherwise it's just seeing the specialist.

I can't believe the luck this year. The health issues, the job and money issues. I'm waiting for a big break....something good to happen, and so far NOTHING.
