I had a frustrating experience today. I saw the woman who I've worked with for three years, doing various kinds of energy healing. She is totally opposed to surgery. Strongly suggests I do "gallbladder flushes". The idea of trying to flush all those stones through the duct where they get stuck and cause excruciating pain sounds like madness to me. I finally said, "Can you support me in whatever decision I make, and help me through it?" She said yes.

It's true, I'm trained professionally in western medicine tradition. The plain fact is, my gallbladder is a diseased organ, causing me unpredictable and uncontrollable bouts of extreme pain, and, ENOUGH!

I didn't know that weight loss could contribute to it. My first attack came after I'd lost 30# about 5 years ago.

Thanks for your support and encouragement. I *did* take Maureen's suggestion about some homeopathic remedies to reduce the inflammation.

Now, to go pack for my trip to see my best friend. YAY!
