Got a fright this week...well, it still may turn out to be true.After a short walk on Sunday, I wound up with a stomach ache that made turning, twisting and lying down (either on my side or back) quite painful. Still managed to do a five hour tramp in the fabulous mountains near Canberra on the public holiday Monday though :)
Tuesday it all got a bit much so I went to the doctor. Unsurprisingly, the first thing he said to me was "you need to lose weight". After checking, he mentioned I might have gallstones, with the treatment being surgery. I haven't had surgery since I was 4 but, much to my surprise, I'm not terrified by the prospect.
Today I had an ultrasound to see if I have gallstones. One of the images I saw didn't (I think) show any gallstones but I'm sure as anything I'm not counting my chickens yet.
Regardless of whether I do or don't have them, I need to take this as a reality slap.
