Went to ultrasound; doctor states I have gallstones?

God, that word just lacks style so much. The question mark is more a product of my lack of ability to put this in context or like, you know, wtf? I am going to be consulting with a surgeon, or so my doctor reports. I feel this entire thing is a product of the fact that this morning I was texting

svmadelyn about how pretty the hospital is. And it is! Glass and steel and a garden and all modern and comforting and now, you know, surgery.

Okay, yes, of course I googled, but you know, people who have had this or done this or whatever, give me an idea of what level of panic I need to be graduating to? I am more at the stage of "what the hell".

*sighs and hits google* I reserve the right to be really weird about this for a while.

ETA: I am breaking my soda only on weekends rule. Wikipedia is so very--informative. I've named my gallbladder Horace. If something has this many issues, it gets a name that is easier to use for hating it purposes.

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.

I have ADHD, hypoglycemia, tons of allergies, and generally only need the minimum dose of drugs for pain/anesthesia (slow to metabolize?). Summary: Sensitive System - At the very leat, most drugs make me feel weird.

I've been under general anesthesia more times than I can recall. One time I was under for 8 hours. The surgery itself, laser surgery (when it was fairly new) to reduce the size of the hemangioma on my left vocal chord N throat, didn't last that long. After part of the tumor was burned away, they couldn't get the bleeding to stop. Apparently, my doctor took a break while I remained under (this is typical during long surgeries). He may have actually gone to consult a colleague, but when he told me the story, it sounded as if he was wandering the halls and just happened to run into someone helpful. :D Anyway, they packed the area with ADRENALINE to stop the bleeding. When I woke up, I was rather IRRITABLE. And nauseous and hungover. I always woke up feeling like I'd been on a bender. I don't remember feeling depressed, mainly because I was so damn glad to be alive.

I was always anxious about going under, but it had to be done. Lots of things can go wrong, though usually don't. Srsly, I am not the luckiest person yet I've survived general anesthesia multiple times! \O/

so unexpected thing is unexpected

hoping you feel better
