Got Surgery Done.

For the removal of my gallbladder stones, It has been around 3-4 years since I was first diagnosed with gallstones during my annual whole abdomen ultrasound. Since then, I have not experienced any significant symptoms that would require immediate removal. Then my nephew went through months of pain, repeated ER visits, and hospital stays because of abdominal issues, only to find out that gallstones were the cause. Seeing what he went through stirred something in me. I know I have a high pain tolerance, but it’s not just the pain I’m thinking about. It’s the hassle, the sudden trips to the ER, the uncertainty, the stress, and the disruption it can bring to our daily life, especially when I am alone with my son, who has mild autism. That is when I started to reconsider my situation. Even if I’m not feeling anything now, I can’t help but wonder if it’s better to deal with it early rather than wait for things to get worse. So last February 7, I had it removed.
