Results of gallbladder scan

14 years ago

The gallbladder looks great.Now she wants a CT scan of the pancreas, cause they didn't get a good look at it. I'll find out today if I have to have it before Friday afternoon, or if it can wait til the end of May. Weather and no more problems with the RV permitting, we are supposed to leave for NC on Sat. morning. Merlefest begins on the 28th, then will do some touring of TN, KY, ect. I am feeling fine. The last day of heart burn was Sat. I even had tea yesterday morning, and burger and fries at Red Robins last night about 9 (yes, I know, way to late to eat!) and no problems.

Real player is an Intrusive programs an usually runs on the pc getting realplayer up dates--The only thing this program does is play "Real Media files" so if you don't use it uninstall it.. You can remove 9.x Xp and vista can open Zip files you could uninstall win zip, if you find you need it later reinstall it. You could update apple quick time.

Norton has weak registry scan. Suggest others. Many free. My favorite is regseeker which has rather dense interface but is more thorough than most. Using it once a month typically flags dozens if not hundreds. First pass after I learned about it picked up over 1500 right after Norton (since deleted) found about 30. The difference in operation was instantly apparent. Registries get clogged. Really do need something to clean it up once in a while. Something better than Norton IMHO.

*hugs to all* MIL made the same choice when she was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. She had a little mild palliative chemo - it couldn't keep it from progressing but it helped the pain, and her doctors were very aggressive on the symptom management front. She had been given an estimate of 3 months and hung in there for 14; 12 of those were good months she was able to spend with those she loved. She didn't do any of the big dramatic "bucket list" stuff, she concentrated on the wonderful little things like a tasty lunch on the deck overlooking her garden and driving around looking at Christmas light displays. I didn't see her much in the last several months, between my often being too ill to make the 2+ hour round trip and because she wanted to spend as much time as possible concentrating on her sons, but DH has said that most of the time she was quite content. I wish the same level of contentment for your mother, as well as a quiet, painless crossing into whatever the future holds for her, and many good memories for you and your family.

Hang in there tough lady! Boy it sounds like your doc is right there with you - wonderful!! My mom went to a doc that told her she had 10% chance of being alive in 5 years. Guess what - mom is still here, her scans have been clear after surgery and the doctor is no longer at that hospital! Her cancer doc said she should be fine, but they keep an eye on her. Welcome to the tough old broad club! Big hugs, Kathy

Tami,
Before you have any scans or scopes, go to a chiropractor. I had what seemed like gallbladder attacks last summer but I had my gallbladder out, over 10 years ago. One attack was so bad that I needed to go to the hospital. To make a long story short, after spending a lot of $$$ on tests and finding nothing, I was telling my chiropractor about this whole ordeal while there for a treatment, and he said it doesn't surprise him that I spent alot of $$ and they found nothing. However there is a place on the back that controls the tummy/digestion/etc. that was probably irritated. He pressed the spot and sure enough it was very tender.

Just a FYI!

I agree with Dea! Whatever my problems I FIRST go to the chiropractor -- and seldom need to go to the Med Doc.
Every place that a vertibrae is out of place (even a tiny bit) it pinches the nerves that go through that passage (and all nerves are connected to the spine.)

Some people just can't get out of their minds the false idea that chiropractors fix bones! They deal with NERVES, and nerves affect absolutely EVERYTHING in our bodies.

Tami, I agree, and suggest that you find a chiropractor that deals with KEEPING YOU HEALTHY. Yes, you need to go back many times, but how many visits and prescriptions have you already had, not to mention tests, and have no improvement.

Juellie, no, it's not. I had an attack a week ago, vomited bile.

Dea & Judy, I saw my wonderful chiro last week, and did tell him about it, thanks. Might be why they didn't find anything. Get to wait til we come back for the ct scan.

Tami, Did they do they Hida Scan? Or just a ultra sound? The Hida is the one that would give you a definite answer. (It takes about a hour, and you have to lay flat on your back without any movement while dye goes thru .)

No Hida, just an ultra sound. I have a feeling it was a virus. I am being bad and eating greasy fried food again, tho not nearly as much, with no problems. You eat what you gotta eat when you gotta eat! And that hasn't been at home much the last couple days.

Also got good report from arthritis doc yesterday, so good to go to NC!

Kat, hida : sounds funny, but wasn't fun at the end! If your gall bladder is "bad", the dye stuff they run in at the end makes you VERY nauseous. A true accurate diagnosis but not too much fun! After a hour on my back on that table, my back hurt a lot more than my guts : )

Thanks everyone. Hosta, where in the Poconos?

Susan, I'm not thinking about that. I don't want to know! We do tow a small pickup truck. When we get where were going we park the rv and wagon wheel out around it with the truck to see everything which is much cheaper on gas. Not taking the truck only saves us about one mpg.

Gallstones are usually "pebbles" within a gall bladder. A gall bladder is really a pocket placed below your liver which actually keeps bile produced through the liver. During a meal (in particular these that contain fats or proteins), the gall bladder can develop contraction, offering bile by means of bile ducts to the intestinal tract to help digestive break down. Defective arrangement of bile brings about enhancement of gallstones. Gallstone problems is often a frequent root cause of abdominal pain, irritation, and also infection of the gall bladder as well as the pancreas.
