I like the feeling of being sick and it's not because I avoid responsabilities, I literally enjoy feeling cold and weak and I'd rather spend a week like this in my house than going to the hospital to get injected and spend a whole night unable to sleep, in an uncomfortable excuse for a bed and watching sick people pass by.
I had to spend a whole week sick in hospital. It sucked. By the time the pain and infection was under control, I had to have surgery, so that brought a whole different pain. Not to mention getting an infection in my vein.
I'd rather not be sick anywhere.
My nanna refuses to go to the doctors, she thinks bush medicines will cure her. You arent the only one
I kinda like that too. Can be wrapped up cozy in so many blankets and still shivering, hard to explain why it feels nice but I like it. Haven't been sick like that in a long time. but after having a flu couple months ago I was very thankful to my immunes system just for doing its job.
My sweet heart's sister went in for an outpatient procedure yesterday morning, but they ended up doing a lot more, and now her recovery time is estimated at 6 to 8 weeks.
If I'm sick I would definitely rather be at home than in a hospital. Last time I was in a hospital for pneumonia they came in and told me I had some fluid around my gallbladder and I was going to have a consultation with a surgeon about taking it out. I was like... um no I'm not. Those places are crazy and full of sick ppl. Also another time when I was having my appendix out there was a lady across the hall from me moaning Help Me... Help Me... all night long couldn't get any rest becos of her wailing.
OMG! My mom has had her gall bladder removed and it has caused a lot of complications.
Well, she's had problems with her stomach getting bloated and she seems to always have diarrhea or loose stools. I read somewhere that some people who have their gallbladder removed have trouble digesting fats. She also developed type 2 diabetes. I dunno if the diabetes has anything to do with losing her gallbladder, but there's no history of it in her family, she's not obese and doesn't eat a particularly unhealthy diet.
That sucks. Apparently 30-40% of people have diarrhoea for the rest of their lives. Not that they told me about that. They told me there was a 0.005% or whatever chance of dying during surgery, just before wheeling me in, but they didn't mention the far higher chance of a problem I'd actually be aware of...
The purpose of the gallbladder is storing bile to aid with the digestion of fatty food. So basically, once it's out, you cannot tolerate fatty food. That also contributes to the diarrhoea. You're meant to be put on a low fat diet "until your body is back to normal" - which it may never be. Just depends on how your body tolerates it.
I had to find this shit out myself. I was told I did not have a specific diet I needed to follow, nor did I need to avoid any foods from 24hrs after the surgery. Seeing as I could barely eat for a week, it wasn't a huge issue (put that may have been more that I couldn't eat without puking for most of the week prior to the surgery).
Her body may not be able to tolerate other foods now, too. It may not be the amount of fat. It could be dairy, spicy food or citrus (the common ones) or it could be other stuff. It could also just be down to time. I've only just regained normal function and it's been over a month. Idk how long ago your mum had the surgery but if it was recent, maybe time is a factor.
