  • Lessons I've Learned from my Gallbladder

    I had my gal bladder removed back in july 2011. It is now feb 2012. I have to make an effort now to commit to change my diet fully. Not easy but no horror stories either. I am Conscious that I need to stop eating late and cut out all fat, sugar and carbs. my body doesnt seem to want to digest anything after 6pm… So after going to a movie with my girlfriend lasting hand downing a bag of popcorn and chocolate…(so unhealthy) I just woke up in the middle of the night having to go and throw up bile in the washroom because I woke up from what it seems like heartburn or acid but it’s not… Anyways, we do it to ourselves and after reading allyour stories I am going to make sure to modify my habits before I end up going to the hospital go another issue. Thanks for posting. It would be great to know if the original poster of the story has had any post surgery issues., diet changes, etc…

    Yes. I spent the worst night of my life last night writhing in pain for 7 hours after taco night. I told my husband that for those 7 hrs. i felt like an alien was trying to escape from my rib cage. I have 2 kids and labor at least gave me a couple minutes of releif between contractions. I thought i was having a heart attack, vomiting, the const/diar/gas, and CHILLS. Like the cramps would hit and when they subsided i had cold chills everywhere. This was my first attack.I was so scared. I would dose off and 30 min later i was jolted awake by pain.My daughter was sleeping in the floor at the end of me and my husbands bed because she was scared and when she seen me rolling in the bed and whimpering she got up and went back in her room because i was scaring her.It was miserable. I had to call in to work. My stomach is so sore. To the touch. Is this gonna keep getting worse? All the women in my family have had their gallbladder removed. Any advice?

    This is really cool to follow along with. I’m really fascinated with letterpress printing and I’m eagerly looking forward to the next post. By the way, those Islander cards were pretty sharp looking.

    My ultrasound report says that I have “sludge and small stones” in my gallbladder. I guess I had gallstones for the last 5 years or more but I never knew. Two years ago I went to ER because I had a small kidney tone in my right kidney that was stabbing my right kidney. They did CT SCAN and told me that I will pass that small stone that same day, that I did. I passed a small stone (size of a grain) in the urine. I urinated on the stainer and the stone was there. My CT SCAN said that I had stone in my gallbladder too that I was unaware off. I never had any symptoms. Now after two years, I feel mild poking in my gallbladder due to that small stones. I DO NOT WANT MY GALLBLADDER TO BE REMOVED. I want to treat this with herbal supplements. DO YOU KNOW ANY HERBAL SUPPLEMENT TO DISSOLVE AND FLUSH OUT THESE SMALL STONES? I am asymptomatic: NO VOMITING, NO NAUSEA, NO SEVERE PAIN, ONLY ONE 15 MINUTES ATTACK WITHOUT VOMITING IN JANUARY,2012.

    Ritchie, I disagree on the Dominion Building. And “improvement over what was there before” is a depressingly low threshold for your approval.

    I beg to differ, the Dominion Building is an “ugly colossus”; in fact it may even be qualified as an ugly, stalinist colossus. On the other hand the Holman Grand is vast improvement over what was there before. Life is incremental.

    May have promoted this idea without realizing. Happened to mention to a manager about hotel in Toronto that featured spotlighting…makes finding hotel easier late at night, although likely less of an issue here. http://www.cosmotoronto.com/
  • Tim Hortons Cup Sizes: Canada vs. USA

    New cup sizes too confusing. You order a medium but get a coffee with a lid that says large. It use to be so easy. Large double double and that is what you got. You should have called the new size (jumbo, grand or giant) and left everything as it was before.

    Hi. I take the bus to QEH very often to work. I found it was inconvient to call the office for the schedule every time that I need to be there. Is it possible to post the schedule on the website? Is there a bus on Saturday to QEH? Can you let me know the schedule, please? Aother thing is that I live close to superstore and the first bus starts in the confed center at 0645. I have to walk to the confed first to cath the bus. Is it possible to have a bus from superstore at that time? Thanks. Alice

    I have a small exhibition going in my house. The “seasons” cards are on my mantel, and get rearranged every three months. (How you choose to arrange them probably says something about you - do you put the current season on the far left, meaning you only look forward?)

    Even though I have been following your blog for several years now, this is, if I recall correctly, the first comment I am leaving here. I also just registered for the Mail Me Something project. I love your blog and I love PEI. I don’t live up there anymore but I keep in touch with the beautiful island through your blog. Please keep the posts coming. Kudos from Mexico, Seigi.

    I find it curious that this isn’t posted on the website! It exists as an internal document. I guess it stems from old-school corporate culture.

    There was a recall on the coil packs in CANADA! I know because I had mine changed in 2010. Funny, when the recall for cat converters was happening in the U.S. a few years ago, they would not honour it here in Canada willingly. Said it was a U.S. only recall!!! However they said they would indeed give me a new cat if my car was not older than 10 years or over 100K, km. Unfortunately, I did not qualify :( Always good to check for recalls even if they are not in your country, never know if they will honour them until you ask (I mean… demand!).
