I just got back from spending five hours over at the hospital. Sandie asked me to post this message to let everyone here at Dimensions know what's going on.
Sandie hasn't felt well for the past few days - we figured it was either food poisoning, a stomach virus, or her irritable bowel syndrome acting up again. We tried treating it with Gas-X, Pepto, and Tums. No luck. The pain got so bad this afternoon that I took her to the doctor's office - they suggested taking her to the ER because it looked like it was her gall bladder and that was the fastest way to get a diagnosis.
Well, I took her to the ER and it turns out she has gallstones and an inflamed gall bladder. They admitted her and have her on an IV with antibiotics to "cool down" the gall bladder. Once the infection is under control, she will probably have surgery.
The bad news is that we will miss seeing Stevie Nicks tomorrow night. The tickets are non-refundable, but right now I don't care - all I want is for Sandie to get better.
I just came home to feed Della and the dogs, and post this message. As soon as I'm finished, I'm going back to spend the night with Sandie in her hospital room.
I'll post an update on this thread as soon as I have more info. Please keep Sandie in your thoughts and prayers.
