Wishful Wednesday

.. I honestly wish I knew what was going to cause me to have another gall bladder attack. If there was something that would tell me that a certain food item was going to do it I'd totally avoid it. I have a pretty general idea of what does but then when I think I've got it figured out something else causes me to have one.

I've had two attacks this week already Sad

 

What do you wish for today?

Re: Wishful Wednesday

  • Awww, Johlise, I'm so sorry. I think I missed this, but do they think that these attacks will go away once your LO is born?

    Can I have 2 wishes? 

    1. I wish we knew what was going on with H's job. 

    2. I wish my CW would lose his voice right now. 

  • I wish for NO MORE gall bladder attacks for you Johlise!!

    I wish H's boss wasn't so flaky about the stuff they're working on. H loves his job but his boss is kind of biiiitchy and high maintenance, and it results in H coming home cranky.

    jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
  • I wish I wouldn't feel so tired, unless it was because i was KTFU.

    I wish I could lose these last 10lbs to meet 100lbs lost in 10mo.. I just can't even seem to get past the weight i'm at right now.

    I'm greedy so i'm taking 3...

    i wish that h got a second job to help out too.. i don't even care if he only works 1 day a week.. that or he would do more stuff around the house, and cook me food.

  • My first wish would be for Johlise's gallbladder to calm the eff down, and quit giving Johlise such a hard time!

    My second wish would be for my evening bus commute to go well, because the fatality this morning on 520 really effed up my morning commute. 

    My third wish would be for my manager to respond to my urgent email, or at least show up to work today.  She's been a complete slacker so far this week.

  • I wish for clarity in making an incredibly difficult, life changing decision.

    I wish for an easy, smooth month end closing at work.  And that I won't be at the office this weekend because of issues!

  • I wish for consistent science results!  seriously.  It's getting ridiculous. 
  • I also wish that those attacks would stop!

    I really wish all the crap would stop with my leg, got another $500 bill yesterday. We have spent all this money and it is worse than before...

    I wish my hair appointment hadn't been cancelled today. I was so looking forward to it! It has been almost 8 months since I have even cut it!

    It's a very very painful sharp pain right under your ribs, on the right/center side. When the attack starts it's not to horrible usually but as it get's worse the pain gravitates toward your back as well and between the shoulder blades. So then you get to deal with a super sore back and the painfulness from the gall bladder.

    The worst is now that baby is getting bigger, often baby will be moving around and pushing up against it when I'm having an attack as well making it worse. 

     Here's a link that explains a little more of what it could/can be.

    It depends, if I can get rid of the gall stones yes they will go away. A lot of it right now is directly related to my diet, so by avoiding a ton of different foods it can be controlled but every once in a while something that wasn't triggering it before starts to trigger it. Your body pretty much just get's more and more sensitive to spicy/fatty foods the more attacks you have. I'm pretty much living on proteins that aren't fatty, and certain veggies, no starches, fruits as long as it isn't citrus or tropical.

  • I wish for my friend to find some sort of comfort in her (immense) grief that she's experiencing - her boyfriend was one of the skiers who died in the avalanche on Sunday at Steven's and honest-to-God, it breaks my heart to imagine what she's going through.

    I also wish we could rewind the clock and make it so that stupid avalanche never happened.  :(

    That's horrible! I am a skier and that story broke my heart. Lots of T&P for your friend.

    Thanks, I am sure she will appreciate any extra T&P she can get - seeing this all unfold via FB is just so incredibly sad.  She has a good support system around her now, but I just worry about long-term.  I honestly don't know how you get over that; I can't imagine how distraught I would be if something happened to H.  :(

  • i'm so sorry kimberly. :(
