And when the rain begins to fall
you'll ride my rainbow in the sky
And I will catch you if you fall
you'll never have to ask me why.
And when the rain begins to fall I'll be the sunshine in your life
Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora sang this in the 80's.
I know it from a few years back when my sister sang it with a fun choir back in Holland.
Today I found the old CD which had the song on it. I was driving back from shopping with a sleeping Boo-boo in the back.
The song made me burst out in tears.
Bugs had a decent day yesterday. The meds she was on seemed to be working...albeit slightly...
This morning she went to see her doctor. She has a gallbladder infection. The ultrasound did not catch any stones, so on Monday morning she will have a different kind of test to determine whether she has gallbladder sludge. This involves being shot up with some radioactive goop and stuff...(I am not very good at medical terms, bear with me)
I read online that when this crap doesn't get out of your gallbladder it can create a problem with your pancreas, and you can get pretty darn sick from it.
It has pretty much been decided that this thing will have to come out. I understand that the doctor first wants to do some more testing.
It scares the hell out of me. Especially since she is losing weight and frankly, looking jaundice...pale....
It kills me that my baby is sick, on top of all she is going through right now. It doesn't matter that she is 25, she is still our little girl....and I wish I could take this from her...
This afternoon around 2 she called. The pain was becoming a bit hard to take and the meds were no longer effective. The doctor called in a different sort of painkiller, but this didn't seem to do the trick either. At 5 he called in a script for Lortab, aka Vicodin, which is acetaminophen with hydrocodone. Good thing Daddy isn't around, he would steal it from her.
Apparently it's a pretty strong narcotic, although she said it's a low dose.
Relief was immediate. Which is good. But It's a "bandage", I told her, not a cure.
So we still play the waiting game.
Me anxious, Wheelie quiet, but very concerned about ALL his girls, Bugs in pain and confused, overwhelmed, and Boo feeling it all...........
I hope she will let us help her this weekend. There is still a lot to do.
Thanks for your sweet comment, Iggy, have fun in Thailand.

You know that we can have it all and everything will be alright.

Soft Hugs for You Dear Heart.

About 3 years ago I went to my doc one day with a pain. It turned out to be pancreatitus caused by sludge in my gallbladder. I would have been indignant about the sludge and such a fancy medical term being applied to MY body, however, I was too busy being in the fetal position in the hospital for five days soaking up morphine and being monitored. It turns out that in the 21st Century the way they treat pancreatitus is to give you pain meds and check you every 15 minutes to see if you're still alive. I don't recommend getting pancreatitus, so if they tell you take out the gallbladder, gopher it. I had to wait 6 weeks to gain strength back before they'd take mine out. Laproscopic removal is not bad. She won't like the 4 little scars it will put on her young body, but ... it beats getting pancreatitus. I can make a very good referral for a surgeon and hospital if you need one. I had a nice quick recovery and the surgeon is not a jerk (like so many of them are). With any luck, maybe it's really some kind of spasm from stress? CAT scans are the definitive test for gallbladder stuff. I bet that's what is in store for her Monday. It's very scary when someone you love, especially your child, is sick. We'll keep our fingers crossed that it's not sludge.
