It seems that as you grow older you encounter more aches and pains, whether you like it or not. I think, in the last few months, that these "cramping" pains just under my right rib may have something to do with my gall bladder. One could certainly "hope" that. I say hope, which seems odd, because I know of women who have had breast cancer and then felt chest/stomach area pain and it turned into cancer having spread to the liver. I sure hope it is not that. But being in my late fifties, it would not be unfeasible for it to be a gall bladder issue.
When the oldest son visited he didn't help. I must have had peanut butter fudge about four times! Could that still be clogging up the gall bladder or creating stones? Having all that fat was probably not a good thing for me. Some suggest that a low fat diet is best to prevent breast cancer, but also seems like a sensible choice as you get older, as your organs are less able to handle any overload as you age. Maybe I'll have to go low fat for good.
But I dread the expense of it all. I still have not learned the results of a bone density scan. It was filed and was under
USA, third tier coverage, and now we owe a whopping $450! Why does healthcare in this country have to be so freaking expensive? Why do all the machines they use have to cost an arm and a leg? It's ridiculous, and now I may owe even more money. How does someone get ahead in that situation?
