and the list grows..

I went to the dr. today to have my thyroid level rechecked. I loved this dr., he is awesome. He is very personable and seems to really care about his patients. So, he asked me questions about symptoms I had been having that may have been related to hypothyroidism. I had a few, but I would have never thought they had to do with my thyroid. He thinks that my thyroid is what brought on my depression. I will start weaning off of zoloft in about 6 months, more than likely. Then I was telling him about these sharp pains that I have been having in my right side. I got them in the hospital right after I had Jagger, but I thought they were just from giving birth and the c-section. They continued off and on for a few weeks, one being so severe I thought I was having a heart attack. I would have an episode maybe once a month, but I have had 2 since Saturday night. Nothing helps the pain, it is like someone stabbing me in the side. I also get naseaus with them some, but I have also just felt more naseasus in general. The pain also goes into my back near my shoulder blades. He kept grinning as I was describing all of these symptoms, so I kept thinking oh great, it is going to be my gall bladder! Then he had me lay down and he pressed on my abdomen, where my gall bladder is. It was tender. Then he asked me if I thought I knew what it was and I told him I thought it could be my gall bladder, just from some things I read online. He said that was at the top of his list of what he thought it is. So, I go tomorrow to have an ultrasound. If so, I will have to have it removed. That is what scares me. Not the surgery part, I just had a c-section, it can't be any worse the incision sites will be smaller, but how I will be able to take care of Jagger and continue to breast feed him. I know Aaron will help where he can, but he doesn't have much vacation time built up. I am not as concerned about contnue breastfeeding after reading several articles that say it is ok to nurse after going under general anesthesia. We will see how the ultrasound turns out.

I have never been sick, maybe the occasional cold, or had any medical problems until now!
