    Was rushed to the ER on Tue thinking I was having a heart attack. Woke up Monday at 2am with horrible indigestion, which is rare for me. Took some tums and had a crappy sleep. Went to bed early Mon night and same thing woke up early Tue trying to throw up. Took a day off, had a telehealth appointment with doc and got some indigestion and nausea meds. Not an hour later I was on the floor writhing in pain, couldn't breathe, back pain, cold sweats, chest pain the whole shebang.

    Turns out my fucking gallbladder was backed up and ballooning into my liver and causing the chest pain. After a day plus in the hospital doing every test they passed me for a keyhole cholecystectomy and I had the procedure Wed night to remove the gallbladder, very routine. I hadn't eaten anything but plain toast since Monday and after the surgery, I was so high I couldn't sleep, I spent 6 hours by myself in the hospital bed tripped out on all the meds.

    I'm home now recovering and feeling a ton better, feel like a jack o lantern with these 4 incisions on my abdomen/chest, but all is good in the world. Just have to take it easy with fatty foods but I'm back - some of the worst pain I've ever felt in my life and some of the best dilaudid I've ever experienced.

    Gotta love modern medicine, have a great Father's day all!

    • @drgs, the answer is yes, it is a more common operation than we think. It is enough to control the diet after...OBBTKN
