thank gawd

It would have been totally hot if you had talked about undressing. :(

yeah....and talked more about stuffing things in your butt. :(

I mean really, remember your audience.

They may have mentioned ultrasound as a next step, though I'm a little surprised that they wouldn't have done that first, given my admittedly weak knowledge of medical procedure (i.e. my stepmom's an ultrasonographer and I know they tended to have her do initial exams to see what's going on, before she got out of doing purely abdominal work.) Your results should be in pretty soon, yeah?

They usually do an ultrasound in conjunction with a HIDA scan, so you might have heard them talking about it and were just kind of half-out of it at the time. You'd recognize an ultrasound, it always involves them squirting gel on your skin and pushing a wandlike thingy around (or, in some fun cases, shoving a longer wandlike thingy up your hoo-ha).

Update:

I just got a phone message from the doctor. My gall bladder scan was positive, and they want to take it out. He didn't say what exactly was wrong, so I'll keep you apprised as the story unfolds.

:( Well, hopefully it will make you feel better. Can I buy it from you?

You could have gallstones, which hurt like a mofo. Hopefully the removal will make you feel lots better.

(ask to keep the gallstones...they can be pretty!)

My sister had gallstones while she was preggers.

Fill me in real quick, what is a gall bladder, and why is this thread so hilarious?
Besides the possibility (since passed) of you getting probed by a man I assume has the distinct enthusiasm he's sticking stuff up your pooper?

BUT IT CAN BE EDITED! :drama

OH SHI-

ew :(

No, as it stands I probably won't end up with a colonoscopy.

Well, that's what I said. Also, dodged that bullet. THose are no fun. :(

kibbles and bits 'n bits 'n bits

Too bad you didn't dodge the suppository "bullet" :lol
Seriously though, I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks.
