Fourteen Percent

So, I have been sick for a long time. To be exact, I have been sick for about 21 months - since Grant was born. I have not been sick non-stop, but pretty often.

This summer has been terrible. I have been sick a lot. For the most part, I know which foods make me sick....but I have also come across some mystery foods. These "mystery foods" may make me sick one day, but other days I am able to eat them.

Why would I let this go for so long? I am stubborn. VERY stubborn. However, in August I gave in and went to the doctor. I simply could not take the pain any longer and I was sick of being sick. I was also sick of not being able to eat what I wanted.....sick of trying to eat healthy. I just wanted to eat a giant banana split...and move on with my life......you know what I mean??

After a blood test and ultrasound I found out that nothing was wrong.

A couple of weeks ago I had some strange attack thing happen to me while in Home Depot. It hurt to breathe....it hurt to walk....it hurt to talk......it hurt to think. I must add that although I was in horrible pain - Alisha and I still managed to pick out an awesome paint color and some other supplies for her basement.....we are just good like that :)

After that wonderful adventure, I requested to have another test done. I must add that my wonderful mom pushed for this test - mothers know everything!!!

Anyhoo, the doctor's office called this afternoon with some GREAT news.....my gallbladder is not functioning properly.....it is functioning at a whopping 14%.

This is great news to me because I knew that something was wrong. AND I am very excited to start feeling better. AND I am very excited to possibly eat a big, fat, banana split - or something just as unhealthy!!!!!

I go to the doctor on Monday to get more information about my disobedient gallbladder. I will post more information when I know more. I'm sure that ALL of you are dying to know more and that you won't sleep until you know more details.

Yeah....there is something wrong with me ;)
