It appears Michelle has gallstones. She had her gallbladder removed many years ago, so this was kind of a surprise. It is not necessarily the cause of her new pain. They do suspect they have to be removed though, as they present an opportunity for infection and Michelle can't afford that. Her pain remains poorly controlled. This evening I had a phone conversation with her while she lay in the bath tub, trying to find some much needed relief. Will this new turn of events delay things further? Will it change her odds in getting accepted into the Toronto program? Because she didn't have enough stress...
Her banding went well, although there were changes noted in her esophagus due to the numerous varices and banding over the years (correct me if I got that wrong Michelle).
The wait for a new liver has been excruciatingly long, and Michelle's reserves are running thin. It is heartbreaking for anyone to have to go through this.
You're always in my thoughts and prayers,
Tracey
