This is bloody ridiculous.

I had a full-blown bastard of a gall-bladder attack on the bus today. One of the really stabby ones. I've been at work for an hour and the pain-killers have just finally kicked in to the point where I can relax and breathe normally.

You know what I ate for breakfast today? What caused this full-scale rebellion?

Vitamins.

I have fucking had it. Sorry, gallbladder but now you're just taking the piss. This relationship is officially over. Start packing.

Vitamins. I mean, seriously.

On the plus side, all this nonsense is distracting me from the hole in my arm[1], which has been itching like a mofo since yesterday.

[1] It was only when I looked at the appointment card for the follow-up to the biopsy that I discovered the dermatologist's name was Dr Hacker. Ha ha. Very funny, Universe. You're a riot.

I hope it all works out for you. You've really toughed it out a long while and something some people never get to figure out in life is that gall bladder's hurt like absolutely nothing else when they act up.

I find my tummy is a bit upset after I take my daily pile of pills. I suspect it's the fish oil or digestive enzymes, but it could be any of those supplements.

And, my childhood dentist was Dr. Hacking.

I don't know how you do it, Sio. Much strength to you.<3

Oh, there's nothing that starts a gallbladder off like lack of food :/ Hope you're feeling better now!

Really? I always figured eating was my problem. If not-eating lands me in the same place...

I have no idea how I'll deal with that.

Apparently your body objects to space-food. I advise not trying jet-packs for a while yet.

My gastritis was doing that last week. Thankfully, it's been pounded into submission with a gargantuan dose of ranitidine, but I was not pleased by the damned if I do and damned if I don't situation.

At least you can have the gall bladder out! Stomach not so much.
