Warning: May not be suitable for weak stomachs

So I have been having these "heart attacks" about once a month now for seven months, I chalked it up to indigestion. Recently, I had one on the 20th and then another on the 28th, too close for comfort and was not very comfortable at all. Went to the doctors right away, had an ultrasound and am now scheduled for surgery on the 1st. Yes, surgery. I am having my gallbladder removed, turns out my gallbladder is full of large gallstones. Moral of the story if you have pain that feels like a heart attack, it's not indigestion....it's worse.
Warning: gross but cool pictures to follow
No I don't have quadruplets...this is just a random ultrasound of some one's gallbladder and stones. Mine was similar except there was no extra space to be seen. Scary.
This is a real gallbladder with stones and some cysts. So this is much worse than mine but still cool to see what is actually inside of me. I'm hoping the surgeon will save a stone for me to see.



I know I'm gross, but I love seeing things like this.
