I had my surgical consult today, I sat there and was poked in the ribs by her fingers. Looking over my chart she said that she believes that it's my gallbladder causing me all this pain and that I must have A HIDA scan. I found what I have to do for that scan. This is what the website says:

In this test, a radioactive material called hydroxy iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) is injected into the patient. The radioactive material is taken up by the gallbladder to measure gallbladder function. This test also is referred to as cholescintigraphy.

I'm super excited for this: for once I get to feel like a superhero. lol.

I believe that once I get this thing out of me, if I do need it taken out. My life will be back to normal and I will finally figure out how to live as a normal healthy human being.
