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.

Yet another thing I've learned from all my dad's recent stuff (besides that this summer is not a good time to have an abdomen -- sheesh!): passing gallstones can cause big trouble (like, say, an inflamed pancreas that lands you in the hospital for three weeks) on the way out. Because these complications are so horrific and the surgery is generally not so horrific, it seems to be recommended unless there's a pressing reason not to.
