Update

The testing has been done.  I'm not sure what is going to happen next, I just know that the dye didn't expose my gall bladder issues.  In fact, it didn't expose my gall bladder at all.  It makes me wonder if the organ has died.  RIP, but it's time to go.

I was told that the scan told the techs that my gall bladder was non-functioning.  I'm not sure what that means, & it seems they weren't all that sure either.  Or they didn't want to tell me & scare me.  I'm not consciously worried about it, but in the back of my mind I'm wondering why a dead or non-functioning organ isn't an emergency?  It's the passive in me that may very well kill me one day.  I did try asking, so I should get credit for that.

I guess I will find out on Monday after my doc gets the results.  In the meantime, I am surviving on pain killers.  Thankfully, they are working.

My mom went through this. Oh she was so sick. They ended up removing it - her gallbladder was totally diseased. She's done so much better since. I hope you find relief in one way or another soon!

Thank you all! It's so nice to get here & see these warm thoughts! I appreciate it, more than you'll know. :)

Lisa - I've been hearing repeatedly that it's a common thing for mom get the sick gall bladder, then later the daughter gets it, too. As much as I'm hearing this, I can't help but wonder about a genetic link. I have no idea how I got a sick bladder. I know people who eat so much worse than me & their gall bladder is just fine!
