Its Confirmed

Well at LOOOOONNNNG last...its been confirmed, my pain is caused by gallstones, gallbladder inflammation and stones blocking ducts!! the radiologist has faxed my doctors the report, now I have to wait on the doctor writing to the specialist for an appointment to discuss surgery, but apparently it is quite urgent and I will probably have the operation in the coming weeks, so now I am having to rush the festive preparations in case it happens (as expected) this side of Christmas.

My health is certainly more important than work and other appointments I / we have in the coming weeks, so have got to cancel things and cut back on others firstly because of the pain I am currently in, and then the operation, depending on how they do it (could be a keyhole job or a full blown open your tummy job) and then obviously the recovery time. I am lucky that I have 'healthcare' through work, which enables me to go into the local Nuffield hospital and not to have to wait on a long list.

Live, Laugh and love,
