Well I did some searching around on the internet

and I think I can now interpret the results that the nurse told me. The test I had was a HIDA scan. I was injected with radioactive materials. Through an imagining device they were able to watch the materials travel to my liver, then to my gall bladder, and finally to the small intestines. This process took almost 2 hours. When I spoke with the nurse this week she mentioned the words fracture and 6%. When I started looking this up on the internet is seems this is the terminology they use to mean that my gall bladder only decreased in size by 6% when the radioactive materials left for my small intestines. Normal rate is 50-60% in that amount of time. Surgery is indigated when test results are less than 34%. So if I figured this all out correctly I'll be going in to have my gall bladder removed.

Guess I'll find out for sure on Monday.

Good evening all. Please wish me luck and maybe a small prayer for my sanity. Collin has 5 friends over for his birthday that makes 7 VERY rowdy boys in my house overnight. AAAHHH!!! What was I thinking letting them all spend the night!!!

Never could understand why so many people can get so worked up watching a sweaty armpit sport. Watching rather than doing never excited me too much. Chasing somebody big enough to hurt you just to take away a pigskin without a pig in it doesn't make sense. Or the guys who go out to shooting a round of golf. Didn't their folks teach them that if you shoot something you should plan on eating it. I watched some paint dry once and that was more exciting than watching golf on TV. Or how about spending an afternoon watching people drive a car and only make lots of left turns? Why not go hunting, fishing, hiking, sking, camping with your kids instead? That what I did and my sons are in their forties and two still call me weekly and the third works with me.
