Day Two Hundred and Eighty Five.

    I was very glad that I decided to come back last night when I woke up this morning because I felt like I got a good amount of sleep. What was also making this Monday morning better than most, was the fact that because of the holiday on Friday, it's only a 3 day work week. I was nervous though because I had my surgical consult at 9:30am and I was hoping I would be able to step away for 45 minutes. I lucked out because it wasn't that busy of a morning and there was an extra person who covered while I was gone. That was nice because when I got back into work I wasn't completely behind. Also, I was able to grab a coffee and my lunch snacks. I made up the time by not taking an official lunch and just eating at the desk I was working at. I got out of work on time and ended up getting home a few minutes after 4pm.
    Anyway, what I found out at my appointment is that I have biliary dyskinesia. The doctor said that for a lot of people having the gallbladder removed helps with all of the symptoms, unfortunately some people's symptoms persist. I asked him point blank what he would do and he said he would have his gallbladder taken out. Even though I'm getting really nervous for surgery I am afraid that if I don't get my gallbladder removed then this will be a problem that only gets worse. The frustrating things is that I can't stop reading different sites online that make it seem like you can control this issue with diet. I can't imagine how annoyed I would be if I went through with surgery and didn't really have to. Also, there's the issue about getting the time off of work. The doctor was really cavalier about the whole thing but I have to assume he knows what he's doing. By cavalier I mean that he seemed to not think the surgery would be a big deal.
    When I got home from work I put a load of laundry in, took a shower, and then folded the laundry from yesterday. My boyfriend was coming over but was running late so I used the time to finally buy a co-workers bridal shower present online. I also emptied the dishwasher then called my Mother. My boyfriend arrived soon after and he wanted hamburgers for dinner, so that's what we had. The evening went by really fast and I'm exhausted. I think I'm also sick and tired of thinking about my gallbladder:( I didn't over wash my hands at all today at work so they look pretty good. I really wish I had time to get my nails done this week but we'll see. Until next time!
