Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Hi Everyone Thanks for remembering me in your prayers lately. I went to DRH ER Saturday at 1 pm. I was there for 6 hours, and can you believe that they had no one there that could do an ultrasound on my gallbladder !?!?!?!?!? ( this hospital is in sad shape, Dr. R., I dont know why you would want to do surgery there again when you get up and going. There has to be other places better equipt to do your surgery. ) The nurses and doctors were very nice however and wanted to know how much weight I had lost and who had done my WLS. Ironic. Anyways they released me with extremely powerful painkillers and I almost passed out about 15 minutes after taking one. I went for the ultrasound, they didnt see any stones, what they are thinking is happening is that its full of sludge and not draining, and they feel it needs to come out of there. My doctor told me to return to the ER, he told me to go there as many times as I need to if I have any troubles between now and Wednesday when I am to see a surgeon at Regional Surgical Associates on Ben lin Blvd., ( Paging Dr. Rutledge! ) ( I didnt get lucky enough to be assigned to him, but I will go visit his staff after my appointment on Wednesday with the surgeon! ) I would like to thank everyone who has been praying for me, and if its not too much trouble to remember me in prayer for a while longer! Hate I missed support group meeting. If anyone went and could fill me in on what I missed, I would greatly appreciate it. I should have asked the support group to come and hang out with me in the ER. It was really close by! LOL! Take care everyone, Carla Medlin 312 / 188 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
