26 years old. Healthy. Female. Thin. Don't exactly fit the clinical diagnosis for one who needs her gall bladder taken out, but yet again, I'm once under the knife. I went into the ER on the 27th of May with severe pain off and on and dull pain that wouldn't go away. They decided to do an ultrasound and found some other problems in my abdomen and ended up doing a CAT scan as well. ER bill: over $7,000. Glad I only had to pay around 175. THIS is why I have insurance. Saw a surgeon two days later and he recommended getting it out. So on June 15, I delivered a yucky gall bladder that needed to come out. $7,200 dollar surgery. I was quite loopy when I came out saying all sorts of sassy things and apparently had a very funny conversation with my boyfriend who called because I kept asking if he had called. I'm all hyped up on Loritab and sitting at home having to rely on my mom for help. It's really hard for me because I'm so independent and want to do everything on my own. And on top of all this, Alicia is being induced today. We can never have just one thing going on in our family. I also have to go see another specialist to possibly do a laproscopy of my abdomen to figure out the other problems that are going on. Once again, over a $7,000 surgery. I love medical bills....but I'm resting and doing well!
