Well, I finally got most of my test results back, and it looks like surgery for me this week, more than likely on Thursday. My gallbladder is only functioning at 19%, so that explains all the pain that I have had for almost 5 months. The original ultrasound said I didn't have gallstones, so they didn't think it was my gallbladder. I have to admit, I have been very scared, as my Grandmother died of pancreatic cancer, and with them looking over everything, and not finding anything, I was worried. I am so thankful that it is JUST my gallbladder. But, here comes the baby in me, I have never had surgery, and every time I go into the hospital, they end up messing something else up. So, I would really appreciate prayer.Well, they also found out that I am diabetic. To be honest, that is freaking me out worse than the surgery. I have always been healthy and active, and this just really bites. This is one of those times, that I could kick myself for not taking better of myself. Anyhow, this will probably be my last post till Christmas, so I want to say how very grateful I am, for my friendships here in blogland, and that I wish EVERY good treasure for each of you and your families. I truly am Blessed and grateful. Hugs,
Rhea

Rhea, I'm sorry you have to have surgery but I know you will feel so much better when it is done. As for the diabetes, my best advice is to find a good dietitian and stick to whatever they tell you to do. You can live a happy, healthy life with diabetes as long as you follow the "rules". Bless you Rhea and have a wonderful Christmas.
Hi sweet Rhea, prayers are with you.

Hi Rhea! I am praying for you and a qick recovery. I also had my gallbladder out a few years back. I remember feeling so nervous and scared about it. I hope you will feel better soon after and I am sure Hubby will be there holding your hand the whole time! Thinking of you, and hoping that you will be back to yourself soon...also will say a prayer for you about your Diabetes.
Hugs to you,xoxo Heather
Rhea, sending prayers for you for the surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery! so sorry to hear about the diabetes, i will pray about this too. be well soon...
Good luck with your surgery. Once it is over and you have recovered you will feel wonderful. My 84 year old Aunt had her gallbladder out 4 weeks ago and is fighting fit and back doing everything for herself again. Diabetes is a managable condition so you'll be fine.
Take care.

Rhea, My goodness you poor sweetie. I am glad though that you have found out what is going on. I totally understand how you feel about surgery, yet I will bet with the gallbladder under control an dhte diabeties you'll feel like a million bucks. I wish you the happiest of holidays and good luck in surgery. Please enjoy your time resting and recovering, I know it'll be hard at first but time will pass and you'll be a new you! Love, Lori
I have also checked out for the holidays, but I am peeking in while at work during lunch - had to leave a note. I know you are scared, but I am so glad it is the gall bladder and not something more serious. Also, glad you know you have Diabeties so you can take care of yourself! Sending loving thoughts your way - everything will be fine! Happy Holidays! Love ya, Esther
