Much, Much Better!!!

Well, finally I am feeling like I will live! This has been a long 6 months or so. I ended up in the hospital for 6 days. Seemed like I was having a heart attack but when the cardiologist checked me he asked if I had ever been told I had gallstones. He told me I was going to be alright. After lots of tests and worry I had my gallbladder removed. After coming home I still didn't feel well. My doctor put me on a pill that takes care of depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. then a few nights later I decided to take a sleeping pill that I used to take all the time. I hadn't had one in 7 months. For the first time in 6 months I slept through the night. I have been taking one for 5 nights now and feel fine - the headaches have gone away even. I think I was having migraines due to lack of sleep. I even went to work yesterday at a high school and felt fine all day. this is a far cry from feeling like I was dying! I will take the sleeping pills to the scariest most miserable days of my life! Saw the surgeon today and he said I am good to go. It makes me happy to feel good since I never thought I would again. Beware of the GALLBLADDER!!
