Poor Cindy too, she's going to have her hands full because you know the Tink is going to want to be up and at 'em. So please, lets send prayers and lots of warm wishes to both of them, two of my favorite people in the whole world! Thanks everyone

I went through that same thing, except that I had to rush myself to the hospital. I ended up getting the sucker taken out just a couple weeks before Christmas, and was still able to fly cross-country in time for the holiday. Based on my own experience, I predict that he'll learn in a big hurry what "no fat" REALLY means. Then the operation will be a brilliant success, and it won't hurt nearly as much as he was hurting last night. (Especially after they give you the good drugs.) Piece of cake. Best wishes, Tink-Mobile!

What's the exact test(s) she should ask for? (And thanks for your help in advance) TINK-MOBILE, you have my prayers for a quick resolution. 'Tis the season, apparently....

Everyone take care!

Dunno if they're allowed to do those on pregnant people.

Originally Posted By tinkerbell1962 Yes, after a trip to to the ER in the middle of the night where the Doctors said I just had the flu, my own Dr. scheduled an ultra sound which found the gall stones. I can say the pain was worse that childbirth!! I really felt like I was going to die. STiL, this is very common in women your daughter's age - especially being pregnant. What's going on with your daughter happened to three of my friends -during their pregnancies. They all had their gall bladder taken out a couple of months after they gave birth. Their doctor told them to eat low fat, AVOID all greasy and fried food and to actually eat on the bland side. That seemed to help and get them through the 3rd trimester. GOOD WISHES are sent to the Tink-Mobile. Get better soon!!

I do not like being a helpless Mommy for my babies. Sorry, TINK, I hope you are feeling better! This is, after all, all about YOU! xoxo
