So, as it turns out, I'm not invincible.
Over the weekend, I woke up with killer heartburn, got up, took a little baking soda and belched for a few hours. That was late Saturday night/ early Sunday morning.
Last night, about two hours after dinner, I was gripped with stomach cramps like I'd never had before. Gut wrenching, agonizing pain. I thought it was food poisoning. I also thought I was dying.
After two hours of no relief, no vomiting, I called the Dial-A-Nurse that my Insurance Company offers.
We talked for about five minutes and she broke it down for me. Gallbladder.
I could have smacked my own forehead.
Fair, fat and forty - of course it's my gallbladder.
It's also a wakeup call.
Because, I don't need to do any surgery and I want to lose the weight and be all smoking hot.
Plus the pain was brutal. I ended up (at the nurse's direction) taking an OTC painkiller, then, AMA, I took two industrial swigs of NyQuil.
I'm dragging at the office this morning, but this too shall pass.
