op....

for a year on odd occasions i got horrible stomach/chest/upper back pain. it only happened at night and the pain lasted for a hour or so and then dissapeared. at the end of july the weekend of the 26th, the pain happened 3 nights in a row. the saturday night was the worst, pain lasted for about 5 hours. it was so bad i wanted to get into the car and drive myself to the hospital.

the sunday my stomach/chest area was sensitive and on monday it was still slightly sore, by now i thought i better go to the dr and get it checked. he sent me for a ultrasound and they found that i had gall stones.

on friday the 2 august i went in for the op to have my gall bladder removed.

i was not allowed to gym the week before the op and for 4 weeks afterwards. it was tough, i had just gotten back into gyming. 2 weeks after the op i couldnt take it anymore and went to gym just for a 30min treadmill walk. i am back into gym now for 2 weeks and really enjoying it. thank goodness for exercise, otherwise i would go insane!
