After I had my first and worst gallbladder attack, I was so scared by it that I just wanted it dealt with. I wanted an operation, as soon as possible. With hindsight, I am grateful that the NHS took two weeks to process my blood test. Because in those two weeks I had time to think and I decided to set out on an amazing journey.
My gallbladder adventure continues. I did the liver and gallbladder purge on Friday night and spent a lot of Saturday making close friends with my toilet (an expected part of the purge). I can tell you one thing: epsom salt solution is the vilest tasting thing known to man, closely followed by a drink of 50% olive oil and 50% grapefruit and lemon juice. The toilet part of the process was easy after that!
At the moment, two and a half days later, I feel fine. I have to say I can still feel my liver and gallbladder quite clearly: a slight pressure under my right rib cage. But other than that I feel quite open and clear somehow. Which is great.
