So the good news is there is nothing wrong with my gallbladder, liver, pancreas or kidneys. I won't need surgery.
This really is good news because I've fretted over the last week about having to have surgery while pregnant and am I doing this for me to ease my pain or is it the best thing for my health, etc. etc.. etc..
The bad news is they don't know what is wrong with me still. My doctor sent me to get a chest xray to see if it is some sort of inflammation. I haven't gotten the results back yet, but I have an appt with her tomorrow.
This weekend Jesse and I decided to experiment and see what caused pain or more pain and what didn't. So I went off the super bland diet slightly. Not like crazy, eating an entire bucket of fried chicken!! But I added dairy back and I had a little bit of bacon yesterday and a waffle with syrup. Saturday I was in pain, but I spent the whole day walking/standing around at the Mito 5K and then mom and I went shopping and registered for gifts. When I got home around 5pm I was in pain, but not extreme pain like before.
Yesterday I did a little housework, but I took a lot of breaks in between and spent the day in bed propped up at 45 degree angle. Very little pain all day. Even from 4-8 pm which is when it is usually its worse.
Today at the office, I've got my chair leaned back to 45 degrees instead of straight. It's been worse at the office and I wonder if it has something to do with the way I've been sitting.
So far so good... It's 10:30 and usually by now I'm in a little bit of pain. If I can go the afternoon like this, then that would be awesome.
I still don't know what is causing this, but if I can get it manageable then that's one great step in the right direction for me!!!
I'll just be happy to be able to eat again. I lost 2.5 lbs in 5 days on the potato and chicken only diet and I can't be losing weight like that!!!
