Gall Bladder anyone?

first things first....Braden: Oh my gosh he is so big. He is talking like you would not believe. He is loving being with mom everyday and i think it helps her too. He is just a well rounded kid and what is not to love about him look who his mother is.
Now:
Gall Bladder, how often do you really think about that. You think about your kidneys, your liver, your heart and other things so often, but your gall bladder? I mean really come on. Well that seems to be that talk around the people in my circle. Sunday Oct. 14 I went to the ER late that evening with pains unlike anything i have ever felt. Steve and I took Braden to Connie and Chris's house and we spent most of the early hours on Monday in the ER room waiting to hear what the problem was. Come to find out i had a bad infection on my gall bladder and had at the time what looked like one HUGE stone. "Are you kidding me" I said. I have had some pain there for a few months now but never thought it was that. Because of the infection they kept me in the hospital until after the surgery. Mid morning Tuesday they wheel me in, knock me out, took it out and DONE, gall bladder out. Come to find out it was 4 stone all the same color, size and shape everything. Weird huh? Late Tuesday the 16 they let me go home. I can not lift anything over 10 pounds till the 31st, so Braden is not liking that much. But i am back at work this week and so far so good. I do get tired and I do have pains from time to time but I am pushing along.
Thanks to everyone who was there for family and me during that time. We could not have done without your help. My family is so awesome with out me having to think about anything at all they had Braden all taken care of and knew what to do. Just jumped right in and too care of everything so i did not have to worry. Love those people they are truly the best!!!!!! Kim you are a lifesaver you have no idea.

Oh no...I had mine removed a few years ago after begging them to take it out, I knew my gallbladder was bad even though every test said it was functioning fine, well finally they took it out and guess what...it was full of stones and was turning white..That pain was awful so I can say that I know how you felt...I still feel like I have attacks from time to time, have you experienced that?
