Good grief

New medical problem has surfaced. Fingers crossed that it can be resolved prior to my long awaited cruise July 8.
FWIW, acute upper abdominal pain. Went to urgent care Friday. CT scan shows dilation and blockage in common bile duct. MRI will be done this week to get a better look. I no longer have a gall bladder but stones can form in the duct regardless. Like Rosanne Rosannadanna used to say, "It's always something. If it's not one thing it's another" 😁

@smoochy Definitely hope it gets resolved by your cruise.

I did not know that stones can form in the duct after the gall bladder is removed, not fair.

@smoochy - What a disappointment for you! I hope they can take care of this quickly, so you will be able to go on your cruise and be comfortable. I will be thinking of you and praying for you.

@smoochy , bad timing. I hope you can have this dealt with before you travel. A note to consider. This can affect your travel insurance. I had kidney stone incidents and I had to advise them if there was any change in my condition prior to travel. Thankfully it wasn't an issue but a heads up for you.

I hope you get through this with ease and have a great trip!

Start drinking a little fresh lemon juice every day. It'll break up the stones.

@smoochy Hope the doctors can resolve your health issues and it will be smooth sailing. My momma always said every day that ends in "Y" is something else to deal with. Reminded me of your Rosanne statement.

Yes momma was right. At my age it's just one health adventure after another. Dealing with things one day at a time and remembering how many blessings I have.

@smoochy

My wife has had 13 abdominal surgeries, at least 2 of them are similar to what you have described. Several of them were emergency surgeries because her small intestine was blocked, and dying. All of hers were diagnosed in the ER, and she was admitted for the emergency surgeries. MRI was done on most of them.

Hopefully, none of this applies to your issue, and you can continue on with your plans.

It does happen, more often than people thing. Hopefully, yours will be resolved before you go on your cruise.
