i'll be 1/2 a pound lighter

got my official diagnosis yesterday: multiple gallstones. multiple? like several? a whole family of little bits of junk floating around my gall bladder, having wild parties while i nibble on brown rice and quinoa (ick)? great. wonderful. just peachy. i'm still skeptical about the acupuncture, and the doctor said it won't help in the long run; but it might take the edge off for now. so sometime in the next 4 months or so, i'll be having laproscopy to remove my gall bladder. wonder if they can put it in a jar for me. i can put it on the shelf, right next to my wisdom teeth.
