Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2004Thank you! (was purr and prayer request that the doctor is wrong - November 2003)
Thank you to all of you wonderful people for your purrs and prayers. After almost 3 months the doctors finally have diagnosed my son's medical problems. It's GALL BLADDER disease. Grrrrrrrr! Why couldn't they have found the problem back in November instead of scaring us all with that stupid erronious diagnosis. People have lived without a gall bladder for years.

I'm so glad to learn it wasn't worse. Thanks for updating us.

He said he felt like an anemic pin cushion from all of the blood tests (one of them took 7 vials of blood). I'm not a doctor, but I said all along that it sounded like gall bladder to me.

I hope the treatment is swift and works well.

Many purrs to soothe your souls.

It's too bad it took so long to diagnose the problem, but it was good that you hung in there until you found the answer instead of just caving in and believing the first diagnosis. I'm glad it turned out to be something that could be managed. Annie > Thank you to all of you wonderful people for your purrs and prayers. > After almost 3 months the doctors finally have diagnosed my son's [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Nan Gall bladder disease can be difficult to diagnose. Having one removed is pretty simple with "keyhole" surgery. And being without one is no big deal at all. Requires no changes in lifestyle etc, at all. Jo >> Thank you to all of you wonderful people for your purrs and prayers. >> After almost 3 months the doctors finally have diagnosed my son's [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >Jo The new style surgery is a breeze compared to the old method. I've been without one for 25 + years. A neighbor had the new method and she was busy going places in a few days. Best of luck. MLB I'm so glad to hear your son's health problem is curable. Purrs and best wishes for your son and calming hugs for you, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > Thank you to all of you wonderful people for your purrs and prayers. > After almost 3 months the doctors finally have diagnosed my son's [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Nan > Thank you to all of you wonderful people for your purrs and prayers. > After almost 3 months the doctors finally have diagnosed my son's [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Nan I had my gallbladder out late last Fall and although it is taking a while for my body to adjust in the digestive department, all in all it wasn't as bad as some surgeries I have had. In fact, it was pretty smooth. I had one of those "keyhole" type surgeries and for one week I was moving kind of slow, the second week getting better, and was back to work the third week. OK, so I am a wuse. LOL Some people go back to work the second week, but I had the time available and took it. I know your son will do well if he has his gallbladder removed. Like everyone says---no big deal.

I know that it's no big deal now. My dad had it 40+ years ago before the 'keyhole' surgery, and had no problems. The guy who worked on our boat was crawling around in the boat the day he came home after the surgery (we didn't realize that he had just had surgery when we took the boat in).

We are sending purrs for his complete recovery. ------ Krista >> Thank you to all of you wonderful people for your purrs and prayers. >> After almost 3 months the doctors finally have diagnosed my son's [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >------ >Krista Thank you.

Indeed - but *having* gall bladder disease is very painful and upsetting. BTDT.

BTDT. You're right it is very painful. He is really looking forward to having all of this behind him. He's been having this problem with abdominal pain and pressure and nausea for 3 months. Nan > You're right it is very painful. He is really looking forward to having all of this behind him. He's been having this problem with abdominal pain and pressure and nausea for 3 months. > Nan Hi Nan, I can sympathize with him! It took my drs a year to diagnose my gallbladder problem! My GP was the only one during that time that believed me, even when all the tests came out negative. They finally sent me to a surgeon who decided to operate even though the tests were normal. He said that my gallbladder was *very* scarred from long term infection, and that he literally had to peel it off my liver. I was lucky in that they were able to do the "keyhole" surgery and was back at work in about 10 days. Good luck to him! Patti >I can sympathize with him!

When my dad was finally diagnosed with gallstones 40 plus years ago, his doctor had thought that he had had another heart attack, and had him in the hospital for said heart attack. They couldn't understand why the EKG didn't show any new damage. The doctor finally called in an internal medicine specialist for a consultation. The internal medicine guy took one look, said gallstones, and scheduled him for surgery immediately. Nan |
