I am saddened to hear that. Normally, people can’t handle the level of discomfort you could.

My wife was in the Emergency area of our hospital and thankfully was okay, but she and the person in front of her were laying on carts. A doctor came up to that person and in a lower voice said this person would quickly have their gallbladder removed, then wheeled the person away.

I turned to my wife and said, “You wound up being fortunate.” We thought she had a similar problem, but it wasn’t. She nearly vomited a couple times in the waiting room.

What level of inflammation did you have, such that they couldn’t get it all out, yet, you were able to handle the pain? You must have a very strong pain tolerance!

It’s not clear to me as to why they stopped. I’ll learn more tomorrow. So far I understand that the inflammation spread to surrounding tissue so they could not see the extent of the damage with the laprascope. I did not go through weeks of bad pain. Only an hour or so before I checked myself into the emergency room got morphine. The rest of the time I experienced only a slight dull pain that came and went. Yes I understand that if you catch it early— more options are available. I did not catch it early. I regrets that I did not come in sooner.
