My mom is being prepped for gallbladder removal surgery. She ended up going to the ER after 3 days of bad stomach pain (stubborn). She ended up with a gallstone ending up in a bile duct, clogging the duct. They are removing her gallbladder but think she may have passed the gallstone; they will assess during this surgery whether she will need another.
I so hate myself for having panic attacks and anxiety driving on busy roads and freeways. She is at a hospital roughly an hour's drive away, but on the worst and busiest freeways off the Houston metro area, and I just can't drive it to be there right now  Both my sisters are driving out to help, one doing a long drive from the Dallas area, anywhere from a 4-6 hr. drive, that entire route tends to be busy these days.
Anxious now about the surgery.
