Dear Ray,
It touched my heart that you called me "Our Strutsy". Made me smile when I was quite down.
I've heard that kidney stones are unbearably painful, but had no idea that gall stones could be so bad. Incidentally, they tell me that my gall stone is 'large', without comment on the actual size, so I wonder if the pain is proportional to the size. I just want the pesky thing to stay inside my gall bladder for a very long time, or at least until I have the whole sucker removed.
So far, no horrible flare to report, but I was feeling so crummy for so long, I'm not sure I can remember my usual baseline y'know.
Love and hugs to you and Carol.
Jeanna
