I have a few recommendations for anyone that is or has moved to a new house - find out where the instacare is prior to the need for one. When you have an actual need for one you don't want to take the time for find one and who wants to drive all the back to where you moved from. I would also recommend that you determine what hospital is closest to your new home as well on the chance that you may need to go there instead.
I now know the answer to both of these questions! On day last week I got a pain. It was not a new pain as I had one a few days before and one a couple months ago. The thing is that my mother made me promise that I would go to the doctor if I had this pain again as she is a concerned grandma. After about 5 hours of this pain I decided to heed her advise and drove my self to the clinic as I did not want to drag Brian and Kristian out for what I thought was gas pains. Once I got to the clinic I began to wonder. The doctor there asked a few questions and then said that he was going to make a phone call to the ER to see if they would see me, he then asked if I had a ride to the ER as he did not think that I looked like I should be driving my self. It seems that gas pains can be more than gas pains and you should go to the doctor if they are bad. I spent a bit in the ER to find this out.
So it seems that I have gall stones and they REALLY hurt. The doctors say to eat a low-fat diet and not drink alcohol. The alcohol is easy but the low-fat stuff stinks. And from what I can find, it may not even be the fat that triggers them, and what triggered one today may or may not trigger another one. It seems like we are in for a long 8 months. If anyone has any advise I am all ears!
