I went to my doctor appointment yesterday afternoon to find the results on my ultrasound and some lab workups. There are no abnormalities or infectious things running through any part of me. He did say that does not dismiss that my gallbladder may be malfunctioning. They did not see any stones or anything amiss, but that does not mean it's not having a hard time ejecting bile. There is a test where they inject something into me that causes the gallbladder to react as it should when I eat. At the moment, I do not have time to schedule it or I would . . . just to rule it out. He cleared me for moving to Hawaii (my concern, not the gov't), but advised me to see a doctor for this test if I continue to have any problems. Also, since I experience that pinching when I eat, I should pay attention to what I am eating and avoid high fatty foods. I know this and I usually do avoid them, but I am in limbo with this moving stuff AND I think most of my fatty foods are taken in over the course of the day, not all at once (i.e. McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, etc. - we're not doing daily rounds at the locals . . . because I naturally avoid them like the plague anyway; not because the taste is bad, but because I know it's not healthy). But, that said, when you are moving, it's hard to avoid the drive-thrus.
Now, I'm off to get myself ready for whatever it is my husband will need me to do or help him with. We have two cars to clean out; one we sold but need to clean it, the other to take to Baltimore for shipping to HI. We bought a car in HI from a friend . . . I need to run out and get some school things for Squirrel Boy and get him some tees. Apparently he packed only six of his gazillion shirts from his closet. I should have insisted on packing him. I thought since he's fifteen he'd know what to do - especially after we (les parents) had instructed him (les enfants) to pack ten or so shirts. Well, maybe he was planning on getting some new clothes then. Whatever!
Busy as usual around here.

Glad to read it's nothing serious. Or at least not obviously serious. Hope the kinks work themselves out and nothing comes up in the future.
Those tests just sound nasty! You need, now, to just to focus on moving, worry about your diet later when you get settled! Those places do have some healthy choices...but they are pretty hard to order!! :)
Please take care of yourself...you are almost there...still praying!
I'm glad to hear it's nothing serious. Thinking of you! Sounds like you're still working like mad to get everything done.
Gels - yes, we are grateful it's nothing serious either. I will follow up in HI, if I need to. Lately I have been doing okay - just have issues when I eat the 'bad stuff'. Yes, Jamie, it's hard to order the salads when you see the burgers. I'm low on iron, too, so the burgers are a heavy draw on my gullet!! I'll do my best to eat well. The upside, is at this hotel, I get a hot breakfast every day. I haven't eaten breakfast this regularly in YEARS. I find I can easily skip lunch and have a lite dinner. Let's hope I get lighter in the process, yeah????
Thanks gels, for all the prayers and well wishes. Much appreciated!!
More well wishes to you. Take care of your innards. Maybe what you need is more Chocolate??!!!
Love the 15yr antics. Gotta love dem dar boys.
Glad everything's coming out normal. When I had gall bladder issues eating VERY little fat helped a lot. Sounds like things are moving right along.
Take care of yourself, Sarah.
