And suddenly, you have gallstones...

[level42]

Spent the entire day in hospital today. Results so far: I have gallstones. And as a bonus they also spotted a kidney stone...

I had a very hefty stumach pain last wednesday night. Was the third time it happened this year. I went to the weekend docter the first time but she failed to spot the cause. The second time was in NYC last summer and that one was hefty. My wife suggested taking paracetamol but I didnt dare, fearing it might worsing things. After a long time I gave in and the pain disappeared until last wednesday,
I tell you, this aint no pain like you have after youve eaten something bad...its in a different class...

Some other symptoms (which I will spare you) made me do some googling and all signs pointed to gallstones.
So went to th docter this morning and she immediatly send us through to hospital.

After the echo things were clear enough. They wanted to keep me for the weekend but because of my birthday tomorrow and the fact that I don't have a fever) they sent me on "weekend leave".
Have to be back sunday evening and moday I get a "nice" examination wih a tube up my throat. Pretty likely after that its surgery to remove the little bastards.....

So.....this means I will be offline around these days.....Ill ask my wife to bring the iPad as often as possible so I can update you guys...

Goodluck with that tube down your throat. I had an endoscopie of my stomach a few weeks ago and the hardest part is not throwing up (there's a reason you shouldn't eat or drink beforehand), also related to stomach troubles.

Anyway, happy birthday.

[Superully]

[Muerto]

This sucks big time ... best whishes from the cavemans also  I had two of those examinations before, they really suck but if your doc is kind enough he will give you a good shot of the stuff that makes you dream of unicorns ... after that you will want an examination every day Good luck ...

Sjeez, goodluck with that!

I have a simular experience when i had my moped accident and my lung was punctured.

The "repaired" it from the inside with some sort of device that also needed to enter my throth
dont want to discomfort you, but i did not really like it (mildly put)

So i wish you the best !

Oh, ps, Happy birthday Andre! 

[ckong]

Oh man, bad luck.  I hope that you will get rid of those damn stones very soon, and I will pray for you to have a few nice and caring sisters around your bed. 

In the meanwhile I wish you a very happy birthday tomorrow.

I had the same experience 3 weeks ago (the tube in the throat and all). I think what they gave me to relax was super strong (or maybe I was super weak) because I don't remember a single thing.
After the shot, I woke up sitting on a chair in front of the doctor, couldn't focus on a word he said (fortunately he wrote everything down and put it in my pocket)
Half of this day is completely blurry to me, apparently I called some people and had a strange voice.
I want to believe that I'v been abducted by aliens.
Happy b-day, dude!

I didn't get any kind of "trippy" pills

All they did for me was use a mild anesthetic gel on the tube and they just kept telling me to relax and watch my breathing. Ah well, at least i could get home on my bicycle right after the exam.

[Belike]

Everything will be fine André, do not worry!
Wishing you the best bday from Hungary!
