    Hi everyone. I am sorry for disappearing from the boards the past few days. I started overtime at work again and have been worn out. I just wanted to fill you in on Tink. She had another real bad attack early this morning and I brought her immediately to the ER. I requested that they do an ultra-sound on her Gallbladder. They did and she has Gallstones and has to have her Gallbladder removed. We have an appointment Monday with the surgeon. She feels better now with alot less pain, they gave her Demarol and Mepergan till she has surgery sometime Tuesday. If she gets worse over the weekend we'll be headed back to the ER. She's conked out right now but will probably be on the boards over the weekend. We'll keep you informed. Thanks for being such good friends.

    Hey CC, sorry about Tink! Sounds like things are going to work out well, though.

    GET WELL SOON, TINK!

    CC,

    I seem to remember their being able to pulverize them with ultrasound while soaking in a tub of water. Could be an alternative to surgery?

    I've heard gallstones are VERY painful. But it's nice to know they have discovered the cause of Tink's attacks. You're in our thoughts.

    I'm glad they finally figured out what the problem is. I just hope she can be comfortable until monday. Don't hesitate to take her back to the hospital if the gallbladder flares up again. In fact, I'm surprised they haven't scheduled surgery for today. Oh well, medicine is not an exact science

    Rest, no greasy foods and hopefully she'll get her needed fix on monday.

    Hugs,

    Once those things are removed she's going to fell a heck of a lot better. And when they're removed, gallstones make a really lovely necklace. I'm not kidding. I've seen many of them.
