Took 2 days, but the gallbladder surgery is official scheduled for Thursday, March 15th. Adam is planning on taking me while Mom and Dad watch the kids. Reeses will be going on puppy vacation again to the Wardlow's. We're so grateful for our family and friends.
The scheduling took quite a bit of coordination, but they managed to get us in next week (it was that or April - yikes). I'm very hopeful this will take away at least some of the pain, and if God willing, all of it and return me to normal. One can only hope and pray.
We also got great news today that the insurance will cover the formula. That's over $45K in unpaid bills that we now don't have to come up with. What a blessing, considering I'll be drinking a lot more of this stuff in the future too.
I'm looking for another GI doctor at Loyola where my parents go, and they are helping with referrals. I hope to get another opinion and find someone that I can have a better patient relationship with. I don't feel that prednisone and psych meds are the way for me to manage this the rest of my life. There has got to be some other things that can be discussed.
I get the second biopsy of the colon tomorrow - it was being retested due to the eos showing up. I'm hoping it's not active, but either way, I'm going through the surgery, starting up the food trials, and take my pain pills until I can't stand anymore. I'm very curious how I'll feel after the surgery, but at least it's a shot. Who knows- maybe the pain all along was this and the eos were just there. ;) Far fetched, but would be nice.
