Comments: Gallbladder's suck ass - but not as much as our medical system...
you should rant more often...my friends are now buggin me about not posting as often as i should...on my blog that is...
it's an interesting story about your health problem...it's a poor situation about the waiting list...and the whole procedure...buit it's also comforting that if needed you can get bumped for emergency...i'm sure that if you suffer an attack again and you really hate you could exagerate your condition to the point that they admit you right way....that's my recommendation anyways...and knock on wood that it doesn't happen but it might be that serious anyway...by the sounds of it...your health is suffering from lack of proper nutrition anyways...and that's a double wammy...as i first started reading....i was gonna say what about protein drinks and shakes and all that stuff for nutritional supliments...it kinda reminded me of my ferret in her last days...at first it was a small lump under her belly skin...then it got bigger and harder...i figured she musta fell outta bed or something...and i figured it was a bruise or soemthing and it would go away...i knew something was wrong when it kept growing...it reminded me of colby the cat and his throat cancer...the tumor got so big that she could no longer eat and could drink either...she got dehydrated and i knew it was her last days...it wasnt' that she couldn't eat..it wsa that there was no place for it to go...
i had a feline laxitive that was really sweet and she survived on that in her last days...my point is...although you don't have cancer...your sufering similar conditions...and that ain't good and the only thing that will help you is surgery... which leads me to my next point...i remember when i was a kid watching tv...and they were showing a process for removing these "stones" i don't know if they were gallbladder or kedney or what...but the process although i had no idea what they were talking about at the time was submersin the patient in a tub of water and inserting a tiny explosive into the affected area ...right up again the stones and basically blowing the stones to tiny particals....apparently painless...it was along time ago so i don't really know what i'm talking about but... i'm trying to relate in some manner... i am actually surprised you manage to rant as much as you did being in as much pain as you say you are.... maybe your a big faker and are just looking for attention...
i'm assuming the band stuff is on hold till this matter is put on hold?

Oh dear Calvin! I totally feel your pain! this is so unfair, but it is a fact, you have to almost fall down in front of the doctors before they are able to rush you in for surgery. Go to emerg or go to your GP, and stay in a doubled-over position, rocking and moaning, until the admit you..... to one ward or another! Seriously, not to minimize the poor ferret or Colby the cat, but this is way serious, and only more damage to your already stressed liver will occur. Get back to your GP and beg him to send a letter post haste to the surgeon and write "Please EXPEDITE" across the page, and hopefully things will move quickly. Once you do get in to see the surgeon, your medical reports of the emerg trips and to the gp will all be there, and if he has half an ounce of a brain, will see the urgency that is there. But you sadly have to be the one pushing them all!!! Try the blended foods and protein drinks, for sure, but watch the fat contents. Good luck!
