Seems very likely that I have gallstones (will hopefully find out for sure on Thursday). Made for an... interesting weekend, and much of last week. I wish google would have taken my various symptoms and made the suggestion, instead of me having to notice a fat intake association, and guessing gallstones, because all of my recent various confusing symptoms fall under gallstones.

I'm really rather tired of having to worry about stones in my organs, dammit! Stupid hereditary things... (asked; it runs in my family, just like the kidney stones)

Ah, the joy.

Also? Ow. But at least now I know about the fat association and can _sleep_ at night without having to take strong painkillers.

But unlike your kidneys, they can take away your gallbladder and nothing really bad happens. They just did this to my dad: the surgery is laproscopic, takes only a couple of hours, and generally only requires one night of hospital.

Possibly complicated in terms of what one can eat for a while, but still less complicated than things are _now_.

It can take 2-3 weeks to get back to normal, but aside from anesthesia-related stuff, the side effects postop are generally mild enough that restricted diets aren't necessary.
