THE RESULTS ARE IN

Well, my doctor just called me with the results of my ultrasound that I had done today. I had no idea that my results would be back so soon, but unfortunately they were. I was hoping I wouldn't get this news, but unfortunately he informed me that I have several gallstones. Seeing as though I am a diabetic, have lots of symptoms and have quite a few gallstones he is recommending that I have surgery to have it taken out. UGHH, that is so not something I wanted to hear. I have had 2 surgeries, both female related and I hate the way I feel before and after surgery. My first surgery was for my ectopic pregnancy, where they removed my right tube and I got so freaking sick after that surgery. I was vomiting like a crazy maniac and I was miserable!! I also had a c-section when Cameron was born, but that was actually an a ok surgery because it resulted in me having my little miracle. I am just not looking forward to going under and waking up and dealing with all the side effects. It makes me nervous and to be honest I am down right scared. I realize that everything is in God's hands, but I can still be nervous - right? So, from here I need to contact a surgeon that my family doctor recommended and talk to him about surgery. My biggest issue is that the hospital that I will be having my surgery at is about 30 minutes from my home. I could go to the local hospital which is about 5 minutes from my home, but I don't know of any "good" surgeons locally and this is kinda a small town. I guess it is best to head into the Columbus area and have the surgery there. I will just feel so far away from my hubby and my little Cameron. I don't know what is worse...... the feeling of having the surgery or the feeling of not being close to Shawn and Cameron. I hope God grants me with some peace about this situation because right now I am a nervous wreck!!
