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.

Oh, hon, it's a shame it's not something simple and easy, but from what everyone else has said, at least it's a quick procedure and it'll save you from ever having to have the same illness. I'm sorry I ate before I knew there could be sushi.

I'm sorry your mum can't be here in person for you, but we who are will do everything we can to love you in her place, promise. ::hugs::
