Yes, that is exactly what I told him! I am not confident in having it done here, after the mess they made of me. But mine was emergency surgery, had my ultrasound and didn't even make it the 2 miles home before the doctor called and told me to turn around and get admitted. So hopefully catching it early will make it a much easier surgery. Did some cursory research and both surgeons seem to be well regarded. But we will definitely look into them more.
I did ask Brandon if he told the ER doc I told you so.
He didn't actually speak to him though, just left a voice mail. He wants to put it off some, but he can't put it off too long!
One of the reasons I was immediately admitted into the hospital when I was having my gall bladder issues was because a gall stone was stuck in my bile duct and it could have led to sepsis. It didn't require immediate surgery but they would not release me because it could have been potentially life-threatening; maybe if Brandon knows (if he doesn't already) that things could quickly turn worse will be an incentive for him not to put things off.Yes, that is exactly what I told him!

Its called Chaumes. It is french. Perfect to put on a cracker and eat.
When will you know if you get the job?
I'm not totally sure. Hope fully in a weeks time. But there is another agency that must approve it too. Not that they are likely to disapprove but their bureaucracy can sometimes be a bit timeconsuming.....
That was part of why mine was so bad, too. The surgeon either poked my gall bladder or it burst, so had all that gunky floating around, and he couldn't get the stone out of my bile duct. But he did release me, with orders to see a specialist in another town, which didn't happen for several days, then that doctor couldn't get it either, plus gave me pancreatitis trying to get it, that's when they flew me to Denver.
It was all very traumatic to me. I had never been in the hospital for anything other than having babies. Waking up and having your whole family hovering, Scott had called my parents in, no one flat out said it but I just knew I wasn't going home. Very scary.
So I won't let him put it off too long.
I ended up with pancreatitis when they tried to remove the gall stone, too! And to make matters worse, they said the stone had moved on its own (had been admitted on Friday night and they didn't do the procedure until Monday morning) so they didn't even really need to do it but it meant I had to spend another day or two in the hospital before they could do the gall bladder removal. Thank goodness I have a really good medical plan.That was part of why mine was so bad, too.

You've got lots of personal experience to pass on to Brandon as to how serious it can be but he's probably like a lot of kids his age--feeling like it won't happen to him.
Yes, he feels like he has to push through right now. But I will stay on him.I ended up with pancreatitis when they tried to remove the gall stone, too!

Definitely do NOT want him to go through anything close to what I did!
CAT and Ms. Mod should write for Grey's Anatomy..........
Plus my uterus would probably fall out and leave a snail trail. And then the guy running behind me drafting would slip on it and break his uvula or something.

We've got the gall bladder topic nailed.
Gosh, I know. Just yesterday, when I was drafting behind a moustachioed lady, her ovaries fell to the ground, and I had to criss-cross run to avoid them and a heinous injury.
nothing worse than a heinous injury. Takes forevah to heal.

That we do! Ugh. Pretty sure McDreamy would have been a better doctor than the ones I had.
Not to mention the heinousness.
And he's a Maine guy--just down the road from me (that's a couple hours away in Maine-speak geography).That we do! Ugh. Pretty sure McDreamy would have been a better doctor than the ones I had.
shhhhhh! don't mention it!

Probably would have had McSteamy.........unless your gall bladder migrated to your frontal lobe somehow...
