For the past month I've been having some health issues and now that I finally have some answers of what's going I feel more comfortable sharing... I normally think of myself as a pretty tough chick about a month ago I woke up to really intense chest and back pain. I felt like I was being squeezed really really hard... after 6-7 hours of this CRAZY intense pain I was finally able to go back to sleep. 2 weeks later the same thing happened... at that point I knew something was really wrong. And during this entire month I found myself being really nauseous and uncomfortable (I even bought a pregnancy test to rule that out)... after going to the Doctor the chest pains happened one more time... while I was waiting on the results of my blood tests and my abdominal ultrasound. Well it ends up that I have Gallstones. I was sent to the surgeon... and today the surgeon told me that my only option at this point is surgery. I have, in her words, "10 beautiful gallstones sitting in my gallbladder". My response was... "as long as they are beautiful it will be OK :)" The gallstones are what has been causing all the chest, back pains and nausea. So next week my Wonderful Mommy will fly into town to help with my babies while I am in, and recovery from surgery. At least with having 2 c-sections I understand what surgery is like. But it won't take as long to recover from this than a c-section, thank goodness! My surgery is scheduled for October 29th so hopefully I'll be good to walk around with Connor on Halloween night! Can't miss that! Well I just thought I would share. Thank you everyone for keeping me in your prayers. I'm so relieved to know what is going on now.
