I could write my own drama...

I mentioned in chat that I was having a lot of pain and going to the doctor, and I went today. He says the pain was that I had a gallstone and as my gallbladder is still inflamed is worried about infection and bursting and silly things like that, so I have to starve for 12 hours and have ultrasounds and blood tests tomorrow and then I will find out if I have to have surgery or not. If I have another attack, I have to call an ambulance and will have emergency surgery... I hope this isnt going to put me out of work for too long because I have just started the job, I dont want to let them down this soon! Not after they just gave me a pay rise and all... I have got tramadol to take for pain but it says "may cause drowsiness" - translated means it will knock me out for at least six hours and leave me drowsy for at least 6 more....
I'm sorry to sound so negative everytime I post lately. I dont mean to. I guess I just want to know it is going to be ok... but no one has a crystal ball. I just get tired of being the one who looks after everyone else all the time and when it comes to me, well I couldnt even get anyone to drive me to the doctor the other night.... oh well, maybe I will come back with better news.

Although they often do the surgery laporascopically these days, it is still major surgery on your internal organs.
