easypeasy Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 oh my gosh. What a nightmare. Positive energy to your sister. What a mess that a gallbladder - something that modern science can easily FIX - is being allowed to snowball like this into a health crisis of a whole other magnitude.

I am getting updates from my mum, who is communicating directly with the staff. I'm so sorry for your sister and it's the absolute truth that gallbladder pain is much worse than labor. With labor it at least ebs and flow. If you've got a stone stuck, the pain is constant until that stone moves. Long ago I had to wait 5 days because it was a holiday weekend and the surgeon was out of town and no one else was available in our small town. The pain was so intense I threw up many times and in between I just rolled on the floor (not that it helped in the slightest but with something that bad you can't not move either). Labor is a piece of cake compared to gall bladder problems. I sure how they are able to do something for her soon. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
