YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, I really thought I was together & strong, etc. etc. etc.
Just got the call fr my gastro dr. He confirmed I've got gall stones. I have to admit I did feel that thats where things were heading but it still throws you for a loop somehow. I'll be getting a referral to a surgeon in the next little while.
Rusters, your experience that you've documented has really been so good for me to read. It's been very educational for me.
The scary part that is leaving my head swimming a bit is that the ultrasound showed possibly some kind of calcification on the liver. He did say that it's something that could have been there maybe a long time already, caused by whatever in the past whenever. But I guess because of lupus where does my head go - right to thoughts of the Methotrexate I take weekly cause it can be hard on your liver. DAM that makes me so frustrated somehow. I just want to dump that darn drug. The dr wants to make arrangements to have a CT Scan done now. Here we go again.
I think I so need to set some focus on taking the Lord's hand here & really pray for his guidance the next while. Does anyone ever notice how the evil negative side of things always tries to grab hold of you.
Anywho, I'lll sign off for now. I so love having all of you in my life for support & just good old friendship.

So glad my journal helped and I\'m here anytime...It\'s been just over a week and recovery was pretty easy! Do you have pain with your g/b? I never did, thankfully. I read so much online and honestly, it was overwhelming because people posted the problems that they had after the surgery, not so much the GOOD after the surgery. I\'ve had no nausea, or constipation or diahera (cannot spell that darn word).... So, keep me posted and poke me when you journal so I can stop by. I don\'t get email notifications when friends journal, etc.
Although I\'m not very religious, I do know that you can \'let go and let God\'....xxxooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Gall stones.. um I think Barbara may have had that too. Check with her she maybe able to give you some good advise. I will be offering up my next few days in prayer for you. I am glad you finally got to the bottom of your problem now lets pray and get it taken care of. Love you and if you need to talk call me I am always here for you. Love you my dear precious friend. God bless you, Frieda
