Well, that is a surprise. My brother said he had a huge single gallstone, and the doctors said to leave it because it was too big to pass into the duct and cause problems.
Doc said my large stone is too big to pass, but will clog the bile duct. She said that it can mess with liver function, and jaundice is possible, among other problems. Mine's coming out. She said to back off of fatty foods. I need an air fryer.
Interesting. Mine was large and was to large to be removed normally with Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery. They cut another hole near belly button. Pulled it out that way.
What happens with a large Gallstone is it blocks the bile from exiting Gallbladder. Then it all of a sudden lets the bile out. This causes the flu like symptoms. What it has to do with a cough I have no idea. But my nextdoor neighbor in AZ had the same symptoms. Fought it for 20+ years as i did. You do not want an infection or ruperture. The bile will get into areas that will make you very sick. This is my layman description. Dr may explain it differently.
Thanks to all for their gall bladder stories. I was wondering about the time to heal... Many phone calls to make tomorrow. I like to shop around on medical procedure pricing.
Grey outside this AM. Yesterday was a bust with the chainsaw. Got one tree all cut up and put away. The huge maple remains next to a house and in the yard. Need big equipment to move it. Cleaned out a garage after the first tree and decided I was to tired for the maple.
Hope all have a good Sunday. Prayers and blessings of safety for all.
Rip, I know they make expensive guitars out of maple, both acoustic and electric. I'm wondering if your wood is still good and if you might could find someone who would actually pay you something for it? I know heartwood walnut is very valuable.
Congrats on your new truck LS. Did you get 4WD?
RNG, going back to your building plans, if you started moving some dirt around yourself with a box blade, maybe you could "chip away at the stone". Or does your soil have a lot of stone in it which requires much larger equipment? Seems to me if you did a little at a time, you wouldn't have the authorities breathing down your neck....
Drew, I respect your Sunday morning quiet time. We had an informal "pact" between my city neighbors, no mowing prior to 9 am on weekends. Most of us mowed in the late evenings.
47F and blustery here, going to 57F. These temps are about 10 degrees below normal.
Daughters planted a tomato plant given to my autistic daughter at school. Also planted 6 burpless cucumber plants. My wife likes them in salads. All the green bean and green pea seeds have sprouted. Growing fast.
Hope you all have a blessed day.
Don, tomorrow is your big day. Be sure to get a slow moving vehicle sign to put on the rear when you drive it around the community to your garden. Boy will the garden competitors be envious. They should have got a 3 car garage....
