Prayers for your life decisions and your gallbladder. I have had gallbladder issues for years- and I remember thinking I could not wait the 3 months before I had the surgery. Some things that have helped: I/2 lemon in a glass of water daily help to prevent the attack from occurring. When I do eat something that triggers an attack flax seed tea quickly resolved it. https://keepingmygallby.wordpress.com/2012/02/11/flaxseed-tea-for-gallbladder-pain/ And then I went on the Nemechek protocol for different reasons, but a happy result is that my gallbladder has healed almost completely. I tell you this just in case someone else can be helped, or if you have another attack before your surgery. All the best…By the way- I never did have to have that surgery… Reply
Carla, thank you! I do not have sludge or gallstones they say but something with it just is not working right. I will try these and see. I have and do drink Peppermint Tea for the pain and Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, every day. I too have done all that I know to do to get it healthy again without having to have it removed. Prayed for healing and still believing! Have a wonderful weekend. Love, Debbie Reply
I love reading your story. Celebrated 47 years of marriage in tears. My husband is a TBI survivor and heart and stroke patient. Previously he was diagnosed as bi-polar but took himself off of medication several years ago. So his mood swings are unpredictable. He feels his disabilities outweigh his abilities. Anyway reading your story gives me hope and I know God is always by my side. But more importantly I know God can change my husband and I pray one day he will accept Jesus as his savior. Thank you, Amy Reply
Amy, I am happy to hear that my story helped you. God can heal him, what he has is an illness beyond his control. Bi-polar is such an evil beast it can ruin lives. Medication helps but, I worked for 7 psychiatrists for a few years at night with a daytime job as well. I did their medical transcribing and I learned a lot. It can be bad to very bad with mood swings, out of control rages so many things. I will keep you and your husband for you, peace of mind and joy, for him healing or an understand that medications can help to control the effects the illness often brings. ((hugs)) to you and hang in there. I will also pray that your husband finds and accepts Jesus Christ as his personal savior, so very important here. I agree with you in prayer for this, Amy! Love, Debbie Reply
Oh,Debbie, I pray you have the life you and Mr. Shabby, so deserve. I pray your gall bladder surgery goes as well as mine did a few years ago. Please know you both are in my prayers daily. In His Love, Mary. Reply
Thank you, Mary. I have been praying for healing for a while and doing all that I knew to heal it but, nothing lasts long. Still praying for healing before the surgery day! Have a wonderful weekend. Love, Debbie Reply
Praying your Dr. appt. went well this morn., and that healing, of that nasty gall bladder situation, will go quickly. Mr. Shabby’s offer to meet in the middle sounds SO MUCH better to me, than where you live vs. where he currently is. You get SO many comments and unsolicited advise that you probably don’t remember, but I suggested months ago that if you did sell your home…it sure would be nice to build a smaller home together, that would be uniquely both of yours …what fun, and to make a fresh start, somewhere in between!! (And live trap some of your bunnies in your yard to take in your new yard! <3 ) Same could be said for a smaller house that you could purchase with the sale of your current, big, beautiful home! BLESSINGS & Prayers for healing, of body, mind and soul….you have been through a long, stressful, struggle and surely deserve a new peace filled life……Don't forget that YOU, my friend, are the child of a KING! <3 Reply
Thank you, Carol, as it should be right? Meeting in the middle give and take! Selling here and building might just be the things we end up doing. Have a wonderful weekend. Love, Debbie Reply
Wow, Debbie, no wonder it took a few days before you could continue your blog! I am thrilled that you and Mr.Shabby are working out the future plans! Bless your heart for such suffering from your gallbladder! I will continue to keep you in my thoughts prayers, friend! May you have a speedy recovery! Love and blessings, Susan Reply
Thank you, Susan, I tell you what getting older is not for sissies that is a given! This gallbladder has about kicked my tail! I have prayed for healing take herbs herbal tea at a soft diet, and it will get better for a bit but then it goes back to the pain in my side, my back, shoulders, and tummy! No stones or sludge just pain, go figure it doesn’t work well anymore. Again, I thank you, again Have a good weekend. Love, Debbie Reply
I had my gallbladder out last year in November and it has been such a blessing. It took too about 8 months for my gastro issues to go away/settle down. My surgeon said some people’s body takes less and some longer. It was laparoscopic so the healing time was very short. God Bless you and your husband during the days to come. I was married to an alcoholic/drug addict for 25 years. I truly understand. Reply
Deb, so glad that you are better. I have such a weak stomach so I’d not be surprised if it takes me a bit to get my body right. I’d love for it to just go away on its own but, not going to happen. Have a great weekend. Love, Debbie Reply

Prayers for you for your operation. Hopefully this will cure all the pain. God Bless you and Mr. Shabby. I hope that it will work out for you with the move and his recovery. I had a close relative that passed away from a drug overdose. Lived for years with the in and out of rehab. Staying clean for a year at a time then back to it. It is a horrible life to live for the addict and the family. I pray that Mr. Shabby can beat this demon that he carries with him. May the Lord take the demon away and you both can live a “Happily Ever After”. ♥ Reply
Deea, we just seem to be on the battlefield here lately. The devil wants us both because he knows we have a lot ot offer others about finding their way to Christ. He doesn’t go after the ones that are evil he has them! Not that we are perfect we are sinners that know God loves us and we know Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior the devil hate’s that! You have a wonderful weekend. Love, Debbie Reply
Debbie, While you ahve been sharing with us, God has cotinued to work in you also. There is a peace about you that can only come from a deep personal relationship with Christ. Don’t ever think God is not using you, as long as you stay pliant, he will bend you and mold you even more all for His glory. I will continue to pray for you and your family as well as Mr. Shabby. May God continue to bless you!!! Reply
Oh, Sharon, He has done a work in me trust me on that. I have come to lean on Him for everything! I mean everything too. Thank you, for your prayers, I too have prayed for healing and not have to have it removed since there are no stones or sludge just one that has some kind of issue! Have a great weekend. Love, Debbie Reply
