Q&A pt 2

Question: What do we do next?
Answer: Remove Kim's gal bladder!*

Question: When?
Answer: TBD

*note: I know Kim wants to be part of the family and all, but this is a little on the extreme side!**

**note: Bad gal bladders have been shown to run on my dad's side of the family. As some of you might remember (if I ever posted about it), my dad had his gal bladder removed 3 years ago (I bought my bike while he was in the hospital...yay retail therapy!). Before my dad, 1-2 aunts, an uncle, and 2 cousins had theirs removed. My sister has also been having bouts of gal stones and gal bladder symptoms since last November.

Most definitely.

She's getting an ultrasound right now to find out what the next step will be and how soon said step will occur.

Finally knowing is the good part. YOU knowing what the procedure entails is even better.

Big hugs to both, and fast healing to Kim.

Thanks Kevin.

The plus side is that this is the first time she's had problems, so there shouldn't be a need for major invasive surgery. They SHOULD be able to just scope it and remove it that way. We know someone that had it done on a Friday and was back to work on the following Monday. In the mean time, Kim's on short-term disability for work. At least she's got time to study for her tests/classes now!

Nah, that's not TMI, that's keeping folks who love you and yours informed. I'm glad they figured out what ails her. That's half the battle.
