Prayer request: Gallbladder

AliveInHim · 12-31-2009, 09:56 PM

I was sick not too long ago. I mean I was VERY sick with what I thought was a stomach virus, but there is a chance that it is not a virus at all. There is a chance -- and I am not talking about a small chance here -- that it is actually my gallbladder. I could have gallstones or some other inflammation. I am still in some pretty severe pain. I am trying to keep a strong face about it all, but to be honest -- this is killing me. I cannot sleep at night because it hurts much worse when I am laying down or sitting. I have been pacing the floor most of the day -- which isn't good for my feet. I have bad circulation because I am diabetic. You can see how all of this get complicating. I cannot sleep well, which can complicate the fact that I am epileptic by putting me at risk for having more seizure activity. If I am not sleeping, they can and DO happen more often.

I am probably going to be getting an ultrasound done on Monday the 4th by a doctor in town that I know. I don't know what is going on, but SOMETHING has got to stop. Please keep me in your prayers.

Thank you.

Grace and Peace,

Amanda

Thank you so much for the prayers, and the notes that I have gotten over the last very days. I am just so amazed by this community time and time again. The love here is so evident. It is just awesome! God is INDEED in the very foundation of this ministry. If anyone doubts this, look around. It will not take long to see it.

Just to update everyone about this -- I am doing much better. I have no pain, and I have been able to eat full meals rather than the half meals that I was eating. I have no more digestive problems either at the moment. I am NOT getting the ultrasound done at this time. I am waiting it out. If I have another flair up, then I will see what to do then. I am positive that what I am having problems with IS my gallbladder. Being as it is a non-essential organ, I do not doubt that at one point in my life it will have to be surgically removed. But, as long as it's not tomorrow, I will be just fine.

Grace and Peace,

Amanda
