Need your prayers, ladies - UPDATE on pg. 2 - I'm home!!

I have been going back and forth with doctor visits left and right since June, and now all the bad news hits at once.

1. My blood sugar is dangerously high. I'm almost at the borderline of diabetes. So now I have to make sure I have no sugar and very little carbs.

2. My cholesterol is slightly above normal and my good cholesterol is low. (I've been eating too many egg sandwich wraps lately, damn it.)

3. I already knew about my gallbladder problems since 2004. I have tried to watch what I eat as a result. However the past few months I've been having minor attacks. My PCP sends me to a consult with the surgeon today and BAM I am now scheduled to have the gallbladder removed tomorrow at 3pm.

While I knew this was coming, it still makes me uneasy. The idea of someone going into my intestines makes me nervous. Please pray that all goes well tomorrow.

Janna please forgive me, for some reason I had no clue that this was going on. I would certainly have offered to help in any way possible. I am off for the next two weeks so if you need anything, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know!
