playing tricks

How come most of the illnesses that kids and people get are contagious before you know they or you have anything and by the time you find out, you have exposed a gazillion other people. How fair is that?
How is a person supposed to know the old gallbladder is acting up when the pain is many times in the back and chest? No one taught that in health class at school.
I remember going in with a back ach and was totally taken back when the nurse said gallbladder. I really thought he was joking and didn't appreciate the misplaced humor. What a surprise.
I was visiting my mom and sister recently and my sister made the mistake of saying she had missed out on getting sick much or having alot of surgeries. One day her back was hurting and she went to lay down on the floor to ease it. As we were talking a little light bulb lite up. She was describing the classic symtems of gallbladder. The more we talked the more sure I was that she was going to need to see her doctor. Yup, now she has joined the ranks of the surprised gallbladder victims and will be getting hers removed in 2 1/2 weeks. So if you haven't had the privilege of finding out your gallbladder can play tricks on you, you might want to google it and be prepared should yours do it to you.
