Someone suggested that the doc just glanced at the sonogram results and didn't see any gallstones. He did also say the ER was "great for emergencies, but sucked at everyone else." Ain't that the truth!!

The CT scan was what showed the distension, my surgeon said when I saw him on Thursday. He has ordered a test to show gallbladder functioning, but it can't be done until toward the middle of next month. He also said to eat a low/no fat diet. Meanwhile I am "gutting through" the pain. (I am taking Vicodin and tramadol, though. Thank goodness for those. I normally take them anyway on a daily basis for chronic pain.)
