Awww Jeanna, that's sounds like a truly horrendous experience to have gone through and a very scary amount of pain to endure. I've never had gallstone woes but it sounds just terrible.

I'm not surprized you feel somewhat shaken emotionally from all this , I think it's a logical reaction considering what you've just been through... being left with an 'aftermath' sensation after having every nerve frayed to the limit. Feeling a bit jumpy that it might come back or a bit fearful of food seems perfectly logical to me... just a natural survival instinct, I imagine!

I hope the next 4 or 5 days of expected crumminess will go by smoothly and include some better quality of rest, sooner rather than later. And I really hope that once the whole gosh darn thing is removed it may just translate to helping settle your worse than usual flaring days back down again. With a little luck, perhaps this is a soft light at the end of that tunnel too.


Warm (((hugs))) of concern and sympathy for you, Jeanna.
Hope you will start feeling better really really soon!!
