The never ending health crisis continues. I'm getting really tired of
this. Yesterday I woke up feeling better than I had been feeling
lately. A lot of the body aches and flu like symptoms I had been
experiencing, were gone. I thought I was finally getting better. But as
the morning progressed, this pain I had in my right side seemed to be
getting worse than it had been.
That upset me and alarmed me.
And several people I work with all kept telling me, "yeah, it's your
gallbladder, man!" Because they'd all been through it before and they
said my symptoms matched what they experienced. And when I added in
that my doctor thought that's what it was too, I started thinking maybe
they were right.
So I went home after only being at work for
less than 3 hours and I called my doctors office. I was still waiting
on that stupid referral to get the fancy gallbladder test done. But it
hurt so much, I didn't want to wait for weeks to get seen. I can't
function anymore. Something had to be done. So after telling the nurse,
and waiting for her to talk to the doctor, etc. They called me back and
told me to go to the ER.
There was nothing more they could do
for me at the office, and he wanted me to get this gallbladder test
done at the hospital. And I was told that he had called over there and
ordered the test and told them to expect I was coming.
Great.
Another hospital visit. My least favorite thing. And this time I was
convinced I was not leaving there without having surgery. Everyone told
me to expect that because if it was my gallbladder, it'd have to come
out. I was terrified, but part of me was strangely ready for it. Only
because I was sick of being sick and in pain, and if surgery would fix
me up and let me get on with my life, I was kind of ready to do it.
Still terrified beyond words, but resigned.
I called Nat and
told her to come home because she was waiting to find out what the
doctor would say. And then I called Jack and told him too and he said
he'd try and get out of work and come meet us over there. All of us
believing this time that surgery was inevitable.
Nat and I
arrived and I signed in at the desk and told them my doctor had called
ahead. They said they didn't know about that, but the people in the
back would know. So I sat down in the waiting room for about 5 minutes,
and then they called me back. Just like that. It was amazing.
And
I explained to the triage nurse what I was feeling and she just looked
at me and smirked and said, "ah yes, the gallbladder....I'll bet money on
it!" And she had this nice Aussie accent and was much more pleasant
than my previous horrible male nurse. But she was just the triage nurse
and all she did was take my vitals and then walk me back to the ER.
Then
she left me in the care of another nurse. She was very nice too. She
gave me a gown and told me to change, and when she came back in she
asked me what was wrong. I told her, and she nodded and said, "yeah,
that's your gallbladder." And she started the IV and I asked her if it
was really my gallbladder and I needed it out, what should I expect?
How long would I be there?
The last time I was there and I
asked questions like that, they told me they wouldn't talk to me about
it and just walked away from me. But this nurse was sweet and explained
it all to me. And how if that's what it was, unless it was something
drastically wrong with it and it was a true emergency, they'd send me
home and I'd have to schedule an outpatient surgery to get it done.
That
relaxed me immensely. Because I just freak out when I don't know what
to expect. And I was so glad she was willing to talk to me and tell me
that the recovery would be fairly quick too. She was talking to me
about it all while she started the IV and I realized I didn't even feel
it go in. She got great marks in my book. She's good at distraction,
just like Nat is. And she knew about my panic and didn't look at me
like I was a freak. She was sympathetic and reassuring and made me feel
MUCH more at ease than the stupid prick I had last time.
Jack
showed up soon after she had started the IV and we were just waiting to
see the doctor. I think he was surprised to see me so calm this time. I
was upset for sure. But I was calm and just ready to get it all over
with.
So the doctor comes in and I tell him my story for the
3rd time. He writes stuff down, nods a lot and says, "sure sounds like
your gallbladder...." But he was a little perplexed that my previous
ultrasound didn't show any signs of a problem. So I mentioned the
special test my doctor ordered, and he didn't seem to care about that.
He said he wanted another ultrasound instead.
But first, pain
medication. That was a huge ordeal the last time because I reacted so
badly to it. Nat didn't really want me to have it again, but I was
hurting and I was ready for it to stop. So I promised I wouldn't freak
out this time because I knew what to expect. And I was calmer going
into it than I was before, so I was confident that I'd be okay.
The
nurse came in and wanted to give me the same medicine the last guy did.
Nat asked her if she would give me a different one (just like she asked
the last guy) She still said no, but she at least explained why this
time. She said that this one was longer lasting and they preferred it
better. But she said she could give me something else if I really
wanted it. And when I explained to her what happened the last time, and
how my muscles went into spasm and I felt like I was dying, and the guy
just walked away from me, she was pissed. She wanted to know the name
of the evil nurse, but none of us could remember it.
She was
shaking her head and saying he did it all wrong, and you never
administer it that fast and walk away. It was dangerous. To which, Nat
agreed and they talked for a few minutes about how fucked up my last
experience was. But we all agreed to try it again and just go much
slower. I still felt the muscle spasms, but it was much less severe. And
it went away quickly, and she didn't leave me until she was sure I was
alright and feeling good, and not freaking out or hurting.
I
loved this nurse. Now, she was not as wonderful as my Natty of course.
But she had a great disposition and was very caring and kind. And after
she left for awhile, and came back, she smiled and said I looked very
happy and relaxed now. And I was. Well, the happy part was debatable
because I was in a fucking hospital bed. But I was relaxed, oddly
enough. And talkative. I was telling all sorts of stories about I'm not
even sure what. I don't remember. But I do know I was laughing and
having a great time.
But then they came to get me for the
ultrasound. It was really uncomfortable. They press so hard on your
stomach in places where it's already so sore. I was miserable. But this
technician was WAY nicer than the last technician I had too. That guy
wouldn't even speak to me. But this lady explained stuff like what she
was looking at and all of that. Even if she's not allowed to actually
diagnose anything, she was helpful enough to tell me things like, "this
is your gallbladder, and this is your kidney..."
But we went
back to the room and waited for what seemed like forever to get the
results. But it was kind of entertaining because there was this patient
next to me that we all kept eavesdropping on. She was a young girl,
probably about 18-20. And she was one of those emo type chicks. And she
had two emo looking guys with her. They had dyed black hair, black
eyeliner and those skinny jeans that look so retarded on guys.
But
they were talking so loud and every other word was, "fuck this, fuck
you, you fucker!" But they were all laughing, so I guess they were just
messing around. But what we could gather was that she had abdominal
pain kind of like how I had. But since she was a girl, they did a
pelvic exam on her. And the weird thing is, BOTH of the guys stayed in
there with her during that. Interesting.
I asked Nat if she'd
let Jack stay in the room while she was getting a pelvic exam and she
just laughed and said, "are you kidding me?" She loved Jack, but not
that much. And some things weren't meant to be shared with anyone but
your boyfriend/husband. And even then she said a pelvic exam wasn't
something she was excited to share with me anyway.
But for
some reason, this chick next door let both of these guys stand in there
while she had this done. And then the doctor came back to tell her that
he thought she had an infection in her uterus. One of the guys asked
what causes that, and the doc said, "well a few things, but mostly
sexually transmitted diseases." Oh boy. Oddly enough none of them
seemed too surprised by that, and the other guy asked, "is it
chlamydia?" The doc said he wasn't sure, but that they'd give her
antibiotics and it'd clear it all up no matter what it was.
And
when the doc left, one of the guys asked the girl, "how the fuck did
you get that?" And the other guy was like, "shit, what if I have it
too?" And the other guy said he didn't cheat so he had no idea where
she got it. Basically from the conversation it sounded as if this girl
was involved with BOTH of these guys and everyone was trying to figure
out who gave who the infection. Needless to say, it was amusing and
helped pass the time while I layed there and waited to hear my results.
When the doctor finally came to see me, he said there was
nothing abnormal with my gallbladder. And all my blood tests were
totally fine. He could find nothing wrong with me at all. And given
that I'd just had another CT scan last Friday, he didn't want to put me
through it again right now. But that he had reviewed my first scan from
a month ago, and he said he did not see diverticulitis like they
previously diagnosed. He said that intitially that finding in my chart
perplexed him because he said I was just too young. It's not unheard
of, but it is very unusual in someone under the age of 45.
So
when he went over the scan, he didn't believe that's what I ever had.
He said I had colitis. And he believed it was bacterial and able to be
treated with antibiotics again. And when he heard how long I took them
before, he said it wasn't long enough. And he also said that the reason
he believed this was the problem was because I did get better after
taking the anitbiotics. But as soon as I stopped them, within a week, I
was sick again. So he believed the infection was never totally wiped
out, and just kept rebuilding itself again.
And even if my last
CT scan was normal, I had only just started feeling sick the night
before it, so it might not have progressed far enough to be detected
again at that point. But he says there is a chance that I have
ulcerative colitis which is pretty horrible. But he thinks it's more
likely bacterial because it does respond to the antibiotics. But he
wants me to get the ass invading colonoscopy done, just like what I was
told before.
I have no idea what I'm going to do. Right now I
don't want to think about it. I just want to get better and worry about
it later. But he gave me more antibiotics, and told me that even if I
had started taking one of them, I didn't take this other one which was
actually better to take. So I needed them both again, just like before.
And I need to take them longer.
And then he sent me home. He
said I did not need surgery or hospitalization for anything. And the
only reason he'd do another CT scan was if the antibiotics did not help
this time. I'm not sure what to think. I hope he's right. But part of
me feels like he's just guessing at the problem, because none of my
tests yesterday indicated anything at all. Which is both good and bad.
Good,
because hopefully it means I'm not dying if all my tests look normal.
But bad because then they don't even have a real starting point to
figure out what's going on. I feel like I'm a huge mystery patient, and
I was kind of hoping for a definitive diagnosis where they could say,
"THIS is it, and this will make you all better." Instead I got, "I
THINK this is it maybe, so let's just try this and see what happens..."
With
that all said, I do feel quite a bit better today than I did yesterday.
I'm kind of afraid to be too positive because every time I think I'm
better, it gets worse again. So I don't know yet. But we'll see. And I
really hope it all goes away because I'm sure everyone is tired of
reading about all this bullshit. I know I'm tired of writing it! But
this is my life right now, so I guess this is what I write about :-(
Let's just hope that changes soon....

Hmmm, I agree. I think they're just guessing. I guess that's not too reassuring, but I think it happens a lot. I hope the antibiotics take care of it. Have they checked your appendix at all? -
D6fer said on Sep 20, 2008....
my daughter went through all that.....wound up taking her gallbladder out, and she still didnt feel right afterwards....we think it was/is food allergies now.....what a waste of a surgery.....and probably a perfectly good organ! -
secretlife said on Sep 20, 2008....
hopefully this will fix you for good! -
Mr_Box said on Sep 20, 2008....
I feel so bad for you, man. I really do. And it does seem like they're just guessing. But at this point, I suppose the best way to go is to take the conservative route and see what happens.Because if the antibiotics do help again, then that's a good sign. And maybe the fact that nothing showed up means the infection was just not as bad as before? But bad enough to make you feel sick?I know it's frustrating and I wish they had a clearer idea too. But right now, all I want is for you to get better. So keep thinking positively because maybe this time, it'll work.Hang in there. -
kruuyai said on Sep 20, 2008....
Hmmm, pay attention to what D6fer said... .'cause it does seem like they're just guessing. Don't let them take your gall bladder out if they don't have any proof that it committed a crime. -

Wow, Kyle! What hell you've been through!My Mom, her 3 brothers, 2 of her sisters and 4 of my cousins ALL have diverticulitis and have all had surgery. I think I might be next because I noticed when I eat corn on the cob I'm in agony and the same thing with popcorn! A couple of my cousins were in their 20's and I'm in my early 30's so I'm just waiting and expecting it.I hope that your new dose of antibiotics cures you! Take a side of milk of magnesia just to be sure you're not "full of shit" like the nuse told me when I went into the ER with mad pains and the x-ray showed that I was, indeed, full of shit. Talk about humiliating!!!{{{{HUGS}}}}Feel better!DailyP.S. You cracked me up about the emo dudes wearing skinny jeans! -
silver_phoenix said on Sep 20, 2008....
holy crap, what a pain in the ass! sorry you're still going thru all this =( those emo kids would have cracked me up too...and i wouldn't have been able to be quiet about it! rest up and take care of your health.

wishyouwerehere said on Sep 20, 2008....
What in the world is an "emo"?But more importantly, I am so sorry you are still not feeling well, Kyle - at least once they took my appendix out, the agony was over.I was also told that I have to go for a colonoscopy. I have a 6 month stay of execution, though. When they took out my appendix, they also took about 8 inches of intestine and just want to make sure everything is healing OK. My brother (Dr. Armadillo) claims it isn't that bad - they'll give you stuff to make you feel groggy and from there, it's a piece of cake, reportedly.I hope you are feeling better, E_T - Wishy -
nytquill17 said on Sep 20, 2008....
I know you don't want to do it and I have had a few panic attacks myself so I know it doesn't matter how reasonable or logical anything is.
But I still think you should maybe just bite the bullet and have the colonoscopy done. See if you can maybe have a consult with the doctor who'll be performing it first, so you'll know if you like him or if you want to see someone else, before he's poking a tube up your you-know-what :p Also it will give you a chance to ask questions and know exactly how things will go down, and to tell him about your panic issues and find out how he reacts to that, whether there's any way he can work with you on that.
Not thinking about the problem is not going to make it go away, you know? Of course you know, but I'm saying it anyway :) Plus, if you get the colonoscopy done, it will be DONE! No more worrying about what it will be or about how you can maybe get out of it. No more stressing that whatever next doctor you see will want you to get one too. You can say "I had one, the results were xyz." That'll shut them up and get this whole thing off your mind ;)
It's scary to think of a doctor just guessing. But it happens all the time actually. Medicine is not really a clear-cut science. It doesn't always happen that there is an obvious, certain diagnosis, because we're using symptoms to sort of guess at the cause. And every symptom could have multiple causes. The human body doesn't print out error reports, unfortunately (paper jam in sector B!) When they can't find a cause sometimes they just treat the symptoms and hope it works. Or they use some kind of generally helpful treatment, like antibiotics, and see if it does the trick. I know it's not very reassuring to you for them to do that but rest assured this is how medicine works a lot of the time and you're not the first person for this to happen to. Just because they don't know what you have doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing :)

evil_twin said on Sep 20, 2008....
kruu--Yeah, they don't think it's my appendix. It's not in the right spot, plus on both CT scans, that area came up normal. But luckily no one wants to cut me open and start taking stuff out yet. And I really won't let them unless they can prove it HAS to be done.
D6--I'm sorry about your daughters experience. That sucks. But it sounds about right. I'm thinking I might have food allergies too. A friend of mine has suggested that to me, and I want to look into it further. I'd be really upset if I went through an unnecessary surgery and still felt sick after :-(
secret--Thank you. Me too!
Mr. Box--That's what Nat said to me too. That it's better to try guessing and doing something conservative, than to just cut me open and start taking stuff out on a whim. So I'm just hoping this helps and doesn't come back again! Thanks again for coming with me yesterday. I really appreciated the support again :-)
daily--I sure hope I never need surgery like that! But it's interesting you guys were all young and still had that diagnosis too. It confuses me. But I guess some of us just aren't lucky at all when it comes to stomach issues. I sure hope you aren't next! I was not full of shit yesterday, luckily. I haven't been eating much lately, so I don't think there was anything in there :-P
silver--Thank you :-) We were all whispering about the emo kids and cracking up. They made the experience more interesting that's for sure!
wishy--I'm really scared about the colonoscopy, even if everyone tells me the same thing. That's it's not so bad. But I need to be knocked out totally, or I might just run off. I have a very high tolerance to medication, so a light sedation probalby wouldn't even do anything for me :-( I had no idea you'd had part of your intestines removed along with your appendix. No wonder you've had a tougher time recouperating. Oh and just so you know, this an emo kid.

evil_twin said on Sep 20, 2008....
Nyt--I know you're right about the colonoscopy. Nat told me that too, and so did Jack and my parents and everyone. But I am still scared. I will go to the specialist and speak to him though. And I want to see what he might be able to do for me to get me into the testing center. Because I seriously don't know if I can even make it inside the room without running away. I'm THAT scared. Irrationally so, but I can't seem to shake it. There's a long story about why this scares me so much, but I won't bore you with the details here. I am hoping their guess proves accurate though. Even if I'm afraid to say I'm better, I really do feel better today. So that's a plus. It must be working right? -
uniquely-ironic said on Sep 20, 2008....
Well, that kind of follows what I was thinking that it was an infection of some sort. I'm sorry you're feeling bad. It's absolutely the worst having stomach pain. I know you're really trying to avoid the colonoscopy, but maybe if they can get a real live look inside all the mysteries will be solved. -
gingersoul said on Sep 20, 2008....
Kyle......only one word: colonoscopy.
Do it, rule out what needs to be rule out and then hopefully fix the problem...
I don't like reading these posts of you...i don't like reading you are so sick and nobody know what you have..
And btw...only you could end up in ER with a emo chick and two emo guys in a menage a trois plus chlamydia drama and pelvic examination open air.....only you!....lol...
Be well, my friend. {hug}

the_infernal_optimist said on Sep 20, 2008....
I'm glad you seem to be feeling a bit better today, Kyle. Man, it sucks so much that you're still dealing with this crap!
I am glad, though, that you had a better experience nurse-wise and everything this time. That's a lot more like how it should be if you have to be there at all! There's a reason it's called "medical CARE" -- they should take care of you and actually act like they give a damn if you're scared or have questions/concerns.
I'm on board with the colonoscopy as well, although I know it's a lot easier for us to say that than it is for you to deal with it or do it, because we're not the ones going through it. And you know I don't like the idea of what's involved either...but in your shoes, at this point, I think I'd do it.
Hopefully though, this course of meds is going to knock out the infection for good and you won't have to deal with anything like this again. Because ugh -- you're overdue for some good health days!
The two guys and that chick cracked me up. I guess if it works for them...except apparently it didn't if one of them got something nasty! :-p

evil_twin said on Sep 20, 2008....
uniquely--Yeah, I guess everyone seems to think I need the colonoscopy. I'm still not happy about it :-( But hopefully I'll feel better soon at least. Thank you.
ginger--I know, I know. I just don't think I can do the test. I don't even think I could get out of the car in order to enter the building. I'm not sure how it's going to work out. But I do want to feel better and stop writing these blogs :-( But at least I did have some entertaining people to eavesdrop on this time!
Infernal--It was a much better experience this time for me. Certainly not my first choice of how to spend an afternoon, but the people were all much nicer. It makes a huge difference. And I'll tell you what I told everyone else, I know I probably should do the test, but I literally don't know if I can. Just thinking of it keeps me up at night. I barely slept at all last night because of the possibility of having to do it. But I do hope these antibiotics help me again....

I really do hope you find some resolution to all this. Just the thought of what you are dealing with unnerves me for you so I can only imagine what it's doing to you. -
Twylarants said on Sep 20, 2008....
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get a definitive diagnosis from the first office visit? I've been trying to get answers for a year, but no luck so far.
I really hope the antibiotics knock the infection out once and for all. You're being quite brave about the whole thing, Kyle.
-
pusscat said on Sep 21, 2008....
Aaw Kyle - sounds like hell and back just lately. I know what you mean about getting a firm diagnosis though. Even if it's bad news you can at least think ok, I have this and they'll do this, this and this to cure it but the not knowing sucks!
I do believe you have a good Consultant there though. So many may have just had your gallbladder whipped out because they can't be bothered with more expensive tests. Even antibiotics can cost more than those tests, so he is not working on a financial need basis but the patient's needs basis. Trust me - that is a good thing these days LOL!
Even though it may seem like he is guessing, the hospital have most likely done enough tests for this expert to work on an elimation basis. Also, the way the antibiotics worked last time, and what he said has happened to me before. If they are not taken for long enough, a few of those little nasty critters are lying there dormant but not dead and, as soon as the onslaught against them is over, out they come to play and breed all over again.
Get well soon (only you could make even a hospital trip post so funny too :-)

lfbno7 said on Sep 21, 2008....
You write very well. You always did. I can easily get through your stories, though I don't often read things this long.
I think the news they gave you is very encouraging. I don't like reading that you may get your gallbladder out because my sources tell me that gallbladder removal isn't the best way of handling things. Even so, maybe my sources are full of it, and if all my doctors were telling me to get my gallbladder out, I'd probably do it.
I have had lots of digestion problems in my time. The main one would be when I was taking a shit I'd suddenly feel tremendous pain, like Elvis pain, like I wanna die pain. Then when it all finished coming out (and not before) the incident of pain would be over. It's really scary. Hasn't happened that bad in a while. Don't want it back. Probably just a digestive problem. Cured last time by the same medicine they give for anthrax. Cipro.
Maybe they'll give you Cipro too. Whatever it is, it's great if you can fix it with just some fucking pills instead of getting operated on. If it ever happens again, take some more pills. -
Mamie said on Sep 21, 2008....
hey, only you can tell this story and have me laughing while drinking my coffee!! For the record, I have had a colonoscopy...no biggie...yes i was under anesthesia and there was no pain whatsoever...get that one nurse you spoke of to hook up your IV for ya.The only thing I want to tell you is this: when I have my moments of fear about illness, scared about the mystery of whats this and whats that...it ALWAYS GETS WORSE. When I focus on it, it becomes something more. When I am clear that all is well, that there is a small infection, or flu, etc that will take some time to get thru and is a normal part of being human...IT ALWAYS GOES AWAY QUICKLY and without a trace of panic from me. So I wonder if doing some positive meditative wellness stuff might support the antibiotic to do its job and then leave you alone!Be well, all is well, and you are perfect just the way you are! love, love, mamie -
CreativeWoman said on Sep 21, 2008....
I'm so sorry you still aren't feeling well. It's a huge pain in the rear when you really don't like doctors to begin with. I agree with Mamie about turning your thinking around. I might suggest a couple of things to help with that. Louise Hay has written a book called You Can Heal Your Life that I find helpful. I recently purchased a CD she's done called Feeling Fine that is all positive affirmations about health, etc. The theory is that what you think is what you manifest. I believe it to be true.
I hope you feel better soon.

silver--I'm sorry to hear your grandma is in the hospital. I hope she gets better soon.
botoni--Thanks :-) I hope this gets resolved soon too.
twyla--Thank you :-) I've never really been sick before, so I guess I did expect them to figure this out faster. But I guess some of us are just medical mysteries. I just hope it's all over soon.
pusscat--Thank you :-) I hope the doc was right and that this will take care of it. I really don't want to have my gallbladder out if that's not the problem. So I'm glad this doctor didn't just tell me to do it and see what happens. But hopefully the antibiotics are working!
Lfbno--Thanks. I'm glad you enjoy my writing :-) Yup, Cipro is what they gave me, along with something else called Flagyl. It seemed to work last time even if it came right back. So hopefully this time it'll get knocked out for good. I really don't think it's my gallbladder either even if some of the symptoms fit. Because most of them don't fit. I'd rather keep all my organs if possible....
Mamie--When you had the colonoscopy were you TOTALLY out or just doped up? Because I keep hearing people say they sedate you but that you're aware of what's going on. And there's just no way I could do that. I'd have to be OUT. Sedation doesn't help me because I have such a high tolerance to medication that valium is like taking a Tylenol. But I do believe what you say is true. The more I focus on it and worry, the worse I feel. I try really hard not to do that, but I'm not very good at it :-(
CW--Thank you :-) I think you and Mamie are right too. That it does help you heal if you're positive. I try, but my fears are so great it's really hard. But I'll try and check out those things you mentioned.

oh evil twin, i do know what you mean,visiting hospital week in week out, and not having a answer for what is wrong, a few year's ago i had that problem, 8yrs i suffered with mouth ulcers, not just normal small 1s i mean covering every inch of inside your mouth, down your throat and eventually into the bottom of the throat,, 8yrs of misery test's tablets ,drips, pain killers, steroids that made me gain 4stone, only to find out that it was 'bechets syndrone' ulcers on my legs from not able to move as i was drained and not able to eat, how i managed to look after 4 children''my 2 and my 2 nieces'' i cant believe it,i was told i had nearly every illness going,my mother really wasnt suportive at all, she thought i had a deadly virus and was going to pass it on,she would bleach everything i touched it was amazing, but anyway i was given 4 weeks of thalidomide and that was 9yrs ago and iv not had 1 mouth ulcer since then, to think if i had been given them in the beginning i wouldnt of suffered in silence for 8yrs,,, so i do know how you feel and its not nice at all, i hope you feel better soon ~~lionesss x -

lionesss--I'm sorry to hear what you've been through in the past. That sounds really scary! I'm glad they finally figured out what was wrong, even if it took forever. It's unnerving to know that so many people go through years of misery not ever knowing what's wrong :-( -

HEY Kyle, Havn't been on here in months and this is what I come back to. I hopeyou get better soon and they figure it out. I bet at this point you were wishing it was your gallbladder huh? Just so they would KNOW what was wrong. I had my gallbladder out a few years ago, it was no biggie at all. But I was all freaked out, I needed meds to take before the surgery to calm me down, i was a wreck. LOL -
