Friday my Mom had called to inform she was diagnosed of having stones in her gall bladder. My mother had gone on a general check-up and the scan had revealed this. I was deeply perturbed hearing the news. I had not planned to go home the weekend, but after hearing the news I went home.
All throughout Friday, I was thinking of reading all about gall bladder stones on the net. But, since I had lot of work at office I couldn't do it. After office I went for Eucharistic adoration, prayed for my Mom and started home. Coming home on Saturday morning, I accompanied my Mom to the hospital. The general physician after looking at the scan report directed us to meet the surgical specialist.
Afraid as such about surgery, we were waiting for the specialist for couple of hours. At the end the specialist came and right away suggested her to undergo surgery. I interrupted him asking if its anything serious and whether she should undergo surgery immediately though she is not feeling any pain in her abdomen. The doctor said that if the patient is not feeling any pain she can very well wait and undergo the surgery.
Not yet satisfied, we came back home and booked an appointment with a gastro surgeon for Wednesday. By evening my sister was inspired to look in the Internet about gall stones. When she searched this is what she found,
"Some people who have gallstones are asymptomatic and do not feel any pain or discomfort. These gallstones are called "silent stones" and do not affect the gallbladder or other internal organs. They do not need treatment."
Praise the Lord!! We immediately called our Mom, made her sit beside as she read out loud the information. My mother too praised the lord for his great mercy. Thanks to the Lord for the countless blessings he showers on us!!!
