A Bad Night

[poliphilo]

Ailz was taken ill last night and was in terrible pain, so we got her wrapped up in her fur coat and into Joe's car and rushed her to the doctor's. He said magic words and gave her a stemetil injection to stop her being sick (so she could keep down her painkillers) and we came home and she was sick immediately and afterwards began to get better.

This morning she's feeling a bit rough (obviously) but the pain is gone.

So what was it? She described the pain as like having toothache under the ribs. The likeliest diagnosis is an inflamed gall bladder, the second likeliest is plain, old-fashioned food poisoning. Whichever it was, we suspect that the lamb casserole she ate for tea had something to do with it.

At the end of a long list, my best wishes for her as well and I'm unfortunately casting a vote for gall bladder too, although I do hope it was just the lamb.

I already replied to HER journal, sending her a hug and healing vibes - but there can never be too many of them.

It does sound like gall bladder. Poor Ailz. Lucky to have you (and Joe)

Thanks.

Joe and Sarah came up trumps- immediately dropped what they were doing and took us to the surgery.

Thanks.

From all I've been reading about gall bladders I think it's pretty certain. She's going to have to watch what she eats- though she does that anyway and the lamb casserole was an aberration.
