In fact, they can be so painful, that it would be more appropriate to call the patient a victim, because you certainly feel like one. I'll be feeling sorry for him until the entire ordeal has passed. Been there ............ done that ............. and I definitely would not care to go back.Hi TimHis body loves to form stones! If its not gall stones.... even after his gall bladder has been removed.... its kidney stones. Its not the first time he has had to pass a kidney stone and he says it excruciating. However, this one is anchored and jagged. He told the kidney surgeon that he was drinking apple cider vinegar in water to dissolve the stone and he was told to keep doing it. The surgeon said according to what the stone is made up of.... it doesn't work on all stones... At any rate its got to go or he will eventually suffer from kidney failure. I'm sorry that you had to witness that episode with the baby. That sort of thing tends to leave you with an icy, nauseated feeling in the pit of your stomach, does it not? If the infant died, it would be guaranteed a position of honor in the next life, but that just doesn't seem to make up for the extreme tragedy in this realm that it would have taken for it to get there, does it? I've known a couple or two who went through something of this nature through the years. Their marriage ................ core personalities .................. none of that survives. We have such a strong link we establish with our young ................ sometimes I have wondered if it's actually a healthy thing? Know what I mean?You cannot help that bond with your children..... its natural. and its very powerful..... most mothers have killer instinct to protect their child. I hope and pray the baby lived....

I wonder about them always taking the Gallbladder like that? As soon as they took mine, I started having other problems. They said it would end the bile issue, but that's a load of bull puckey. Mine may have slowed down, but that's it. My Colitis started hitting more frequently after they took it too. Not to mention being instantly irregular, and nothing I do seems to correct that. I believe that the Gallbladder, while not critical, is more important than they think it is.
