I was very glad that I went to sleep early last night because I felt pretty refreshed when I woke up this morning. After my cup of coffee I decided it would be a good idea to use the time I had to get some car insurance quotes. I've been thinking about switching because I'm paying so much under my current carrier and because the bill is due next week I figured now would be the perfect time. Anyway, I called the same insurance company which insures my house and I got a great rate. The phone call took me about an hour but it's amazing how much it's going to save me. I probably should have gotten another quote but that phone call took me so long and it's going to be saving me so much that I figured I should just go with this one. After that extensive phone call I had some lunch.
I have been meaning to wash my bed sheets so I took them off of the bed and put them in the wash. I also took the time to turn my mattress around since I haven't done it once in the 3 years I've had it. Once I put clean sheets on my bed I took a shower and got ready for work. I also spent some time playing fetch with my dog:) She seemed a little bit lonely today since I was on the phone pretty much all morning. I didn't have a lot of time this afternoon because I had to get to work on time due to the fact it was meeting day.
I got to work on time and after the meeting I had a very upsetting interaction with a co-worker. I knew this particular co-worker had her gallbladder out a few years ago but I didn't necessarily want to talk with her about her ordeal, so I never initiated the conversation. Well, she apparently had heard I was getting mine out and must of felt it her duty to tell me how terribly painful it was going to be and that I would need at least two weeks off of work! This was a complete shock to me because yesterday a good friend of mine called me with advice on her surgery and it didn't seem nearly as bad. I was pretty much in tears after this conversation today, in fact another co-worker of mine had to consul me. It made the rest of the evening at work very long and my mind was definitely a little bit distracted.
I was able to call my boyfriend on my way home from work because he was still up and he told me to not listen to everyone else. It's hard not to though....especially when in the back of my mind I know that this surgery might not even alleviate my symptoms. My obsessive self has been doing research all night trying to figure out if this is going to be a huge mistake. I'm worried that something else might be going on and that this is the complete wrong diagnosis. I have a lot of thinking to do before tomorrow morning. I'm a mess:(
I just switched car insurance too. I totally saved money but the phone calls were a pain. Don't forget you will have to mail something to your old insurance company to prove you have new insurance. I'm glad you got time to play with your pup!
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that was rather rude of your colleague to offer completely unsolicited information and opinions. It's one thing for her to be honest if you had asked, but you didn't! It's surgery, every case is slightly different. You'll just have to see what happens when it happens with yours. I'm sure she just couldn't resist sharing her experience, it's just human nature, really, but its unfortunate it happened.
My opinion is there's no way this is the 'complete' wrong diagnosis. At the worst, it's only a portion of the entire problem, but the test you had clearly showed that your GB is not functioning. Very well could still be other more minor issues that mean you might still have some pain and/or need to watch what you eat, but I gotta believe the GB is at least a part of the issue!
