Who would have known... it was the gall bladder...

Two weeks after returning to work and 6 weeks after having Junior, I had to have my gallbladder removed.
I had puking on and off for an entire week. I finally called my doctor after 5 days of puking and he prescribed an over the counter medicine for a virus. I never went to pick it up because I knew it wasn't a virus.
I finally went to the emergency room on sunday June 3rd. Actually it was monday because I went at 2am.
They did an ultrasound and told me I had gallbladder stones and it was inflamed. Therefore they would keep me and schedule surgery.
I had it removed on June 5th. The day I was supposed to attend my college graduation.
I got 4 incisions and they cured pretty quickly. The first week I had a hard time getting around but by the weekend I was good as gold.
I saw the surgeon for follow up this past friday. He took the stitches out and now I'm good to go.
