53. I nearly died from pancreatitis years ago. It's godawful.

I’m so sorry! Like you my gallbladder went south and I ignored pain (ignorable pain) until suddenly I was incapacitated. I was in the hospital for quite a few days but they did get the gallbladder out. I’m sorry you have to go back.

Yes, it’s nothing to laugh off. I’m so glad you made it and are back!
