The Fluffiest
Stepped up my stepping today. Twice as many laps of the floor than usual since they finally took me off the saline drip, so I was taking the weight off my stomach by using a walker instead of trying to avoid kicking my IV stand and keep steering it so it wouldn't spin around and tangle. Maybe a bit much since sitting down afterwards was much easier than usual since I suddenly felt very dizzy until I laid back and caught my breath. They finally gave me a menu to pick stuff I will actually eat tomorrow. Still weirded out at the prospect of them pulling out the JP (drainage tube) because gah. Fortunately all that walking and standing is finally starting to get the gas out.

The problem is every time you pass a stone, you risk them lodging in your ducts. The blockage is painful, infection and inflammation can travel to your liver and can cause pancreatitis if it lodged or irritated where it goes through that. Unless you developed them from sudden weight loss, it's basically guaranteed to keep recurring until you get it removed.
