lakenziehad my ultrasound today, to check to see if I need surgery for my gallbladder.
the person who took the pictures, they probably have a specific name but I'm too lazy to look, said they "just take the pictures, don't read them." so they couldn't tell me if there was something there or not.
I bet they have to say that, in case they say something wrong and patient can sue the hospital, even though they aren't doctors or something. that seems like something a hospital would do, which makes sense.
but with enough experience of taking the pictures, and knowing if you took good pictures or not, they would probably learn a thing or two if there was something to read or not.
I just want this thing over with, I want answers and I want it fixed.
basically everything I eat makes me feel unwell, even if its on the approved foods list for my diet. (aka, nothing with fat) so like, what even is the fucking point.
I'm tempted to just eat what I want, because not like it makes much of a difference. though, the thought of having another "attack" or whatever those pains were is not something I want to feel again. picture extreme pain, cramping, around the stomach area that is almost like nausea but vomiting doesn't happen or help. heat sometimes helps, or at least temporarily does, so you're sitting in a hot shower just sobbing from the pain. that was me about two weeks ago, the whole reason I'm even getting this all checked out.
its kind of funny, if I didn't have that really bad attack, me and my doctor would still just be thinking that my issues are all caused by my IBS. but now, its all very likely that a lot of my previous assumed IBS issues are actually my gallbladder. at least, I'm hoping they are. it would be really really shitty if my gallbladder is perfectly fine, because then the doctors would have no idea why eating hurts or I have those attacks.
god I would just want to kill myself if that ended up being the case.
anyway, the say I should get the results in a few days. hopefully with the fact that its still early in the week I'll have the results by the weekend.
though, because of the upcoming holidays, who knows when I'd even be able to get in for surgery. worst holiday season I think, even compared to the christmas where I puked for 16 hours straight. anyone else get sick during the holidays or am I just consistently broken?
