Gall bladder?

At 3am Saturday morning I awoke with discomfort that went around my rib cage like band. Thinking I may have pulled a muscle at the gym, I took a couple of tylenol. By 5am the pain was still there. But had become a focal point under my right shoulder blade. I decided to wake Frank up and go to get checked out. We drove down to the Scripps Clinic Urgent care. Long story short. All my labs and a chest X-ray were normal. By process of elimination it was probably gall bladder. The pain wasn't as bad or in the same place as the other two attacks.  They gave me an IV shot of Dilaudid and sent me home.  I spent the rest of the day in bed. I had no appetite and no desire to do anything. By evening I started coming around. I was able to eat some oatmeal and some cottage cheese. This morning I woke up feeling fine.

Time to evaluate what happened. On  Friday afternoon Frank wanted to go to the Souplantation. I wasn't eager to go. But since he wanted to I went along. I tried to be careful of my food choices. But let's face it, it is a smorgasbord!  Probably I just had too much fat or just too much food, and my gall bladder couldn't handle it. Lesson learned.

This is a good thing. I am so motivated to stay on a healthy low fat diet. I can't take care of the gall bladder with surgery until after I have recovered from the chemo. Next week is the last one.
