A gall bladder attack

October 9th, 2006 at 11:45 pm

No spending today.

The only interesting thing that happened today was that I had a minor gall bladder attack at work. I've had them before -- one that sent me to the emergency room -- but frankly, co-workers were over-reacting when they called the ambulance. There is no reason for me to do anything until the pain is too much to bear. The ER technicians can't even see what's going on unless they "catch" me in the middle of the attack -- which always pass before I have time to get to the hospital.

I've had the tests and they all say my gall bladder is fine, except that I must be occasionally throwing a stone.

Anyway, avoiding a trip to the ER was a frugal move!

Now, don't lecture me -- I WILL go when I know I really need it. I'm not stupid, just cheap. :-)

    Ouch. I know those can be very uncomfortable. Good job (I think) on dodging the emergency room bullet...Just be careful- my dads gallbladder went south one night and the surgery bacame an emergency quickly!!

    Yes, I know it can become an emergency. I don't think I would hesitate if the pain was really bad.
