Damnit!

Looks like you were right, Dr. Harper - I need an ultrasound (will make the appointment tomorrow, hopefully for Saturday), but the symptoms are looking suspiciously gallbladdery. Which means surgery. *sighs* Keyhole surgery if they can get the inflammation down by me eating very plain, non-fatty foods for a while, or, if it won't go down or the pain/nausea/vomiting/fever get worse, I get to go to Emergency and have emergency 'cut her up and rip it out' surgery.

*whimpers* I want my Mum.

I've had all of three operations in my life - tonsils when I was four, ears pinned back when I was ten, and wisdom teeth when I was 18. The idea of going in is actually scaring the crap out of me. Can't I have my healthy body back, please?

Going for comfort sushi. That's non-fatty, right?

Edit: Thanks to everyone for your well-wishes and offers of help - it helps a lot. And I'll let you know what the results are as soon as I have them. Maybe it's just a false alarm, eh?

Edit the Second: Ultrasound's Tuesday at 11 am. No food or drink after midnight until it's done. Which isn't a big deal, since I haven't been able to eat brekkie for months. *hmms* And this whole thing explains the crappy appetite of the past few weeks, too. Pain's worse today, tho' - I'm hoping it's just psychosomatic.

But, but, but....

You don't eat fatty foods! There should be no gall bladder mutiny..... I am very confused. Cause you are one of the more health-geared people I know.

Maybe it's just a tummy ache?

Tummy ache in the wrong place - it's right side, up under my ribs, and it's not getting better after four days. :( There's also genetics against me - Mum's had hers out, so it looks like I might have picked up that issue from her. Or it's the drinking. *shrugs* Not that I do a lot of that either, but probably more than I should.

It can be genetic or caused by many other things too, not just overloading on fats. My family eats healthy, for the most part, too and my dad, mum and I have all had our's removed. Dad's was in an accident, mum's went bad, and mine was due to meds. No resistance when the causes come up.
