Gallbladder problems, maybe

The day before yesterday I had to go to the doctor because I have a really bad infected ingrown toenail (I know, sorry- but that's part of what makes my week so hellish- I couldn't leave that out.). In addition to that, I pulled a muscle in my back, and could hardly walk. So, I went to the doctor and she gave me an antibiotic for the toe and a shot of demerol/phenergan for the back (yay). While I was there, she pulled my results from my ultrasound the week before and told me that not only do I have gallstones, but my gallbladder isn't functioning properly. So, they're scheduling me for surgery next week and I have no medical insurance!!!! How's your week going?

Janet,
Sorry for the sucky week you're having. But you are going to feel SO much better after you recover from surgery. Sucks about not having insurance, but it'll work out somehow. Good luck with everything....
