I was in so much pain. I couldn't breathe and then it went into my back. When we arrived they put me on a stretcher and attempted an IV. It didn't work. So we started driving. I looked at the EMT worker in the back with me, held out my arm and said, (or screamed) "Please try again!" Praise the Lord he was successful and able to get an IV in and give me pain meds. Within 15 minutes the pain decreased. I could breathe! As we drove to the hospital I cried and cried.
We spent the night and the next day in the ER. The diagnosis? Gallbladder trouble. Not fun.
I was referred to a surgeon and they got me in a couple of days later. I've known I have gallstones for about 9 years. But, they've never given me trouble. The surgeon said that I have a very substantial gallstone that is 2-3 inches in size. Because of this, my gallbladder must come out.
Surgery in scheduled for tomorrow. I would appreciate so much your prayers! They are hoping to be able to remove it laparoscopically, but the surgeon said he's just not sure. He will try, but depending on the size and scar tissue, they may have to go in the old fashioned way with a large incision. That means longer recovery and more pain. Would you pray that they could remove it laparoscopically?
So sorry to hear this...we are praying for you!! Blessings and love!!
