Well, don't know if any of you remember that I've been off my bike with strange abdominal discomfort for at least of couple of months now.

This week I had a CT scan and the doc has already seen me to discuss the results (I think that's very quick and am really pleased). The scan showed no stones, but a thickening of the wall of my gallbladder, so the next test is the scan with the dye to see how things move through liver and gallbladder and along the rest of the way. I'll be waiting for the call....

Doc's word today "I see you having your gallbladder removed". It's not a for sure, but it seems pretty probable.

I'm pleased that the test has finally found something. I hate feeling yucky and not knowing why. I'm also hopeful that surgery is a good solution. I will do some reading on it, but, frankly, the alternatives that have been suggested (dairy allergy, wheat allergy, the big c word), are much more frightening to me than surgery!!

So I'm back to waiting, but pleased to know that progress has been made.

Oh, and I've had a pretty good week - I managed to lift some weights two nights in a row, without feeling completely worn out from it. It's almost time to try a bike ride again....

yay!

If any of you have gallbladder stories, bring them on. The more I know about it, the better!

Thanks one and all!

Namaste,
