Daniel Radcliffe on the Ellen Degeneres show shows off a heretofore hidden talent.

*cracks up*

As Ellen says, "He's not going to be single much longer."

Too funny!!!

I am sort of vaguely ashamed to admit that I find that really, really hot.

By the way, what sort of symptoms were you having that led to having your gall bladder removed?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Severe abdominal pain, after eating fat, lasting for hours. I had four or five attacks, I think, before I finally had it out. Confirmed that I had gallstones with an ultrasound, I think.

I've had a pain in my right side, in the back upper part. It's a sharp pain and just constant for about 2-3 weeks. I finally called the doctor yesterday and she asked if I had nausea. And, thinking back, I had some onion rings that absolutely killed me all afternoon, as well as some Mexican food that I just wanted to throw up. I had no idea the two were related. Anyway, she said it sounded like gall bladder so I'm going in Friday to check it out. This pain in my side is, well, a pain in the side.

Yeah, it certainly sounds like it could be gall bladder. Yes, nausea/vomiting was part of it, too (I'd mercifully blanked on that detail).

Good luck!

You had it out laparascopically, right? Have you had any aftereffects?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

It took me a bit longer to recover than I expected. The anaesthesia does knock you flat. I was much more tired than I expected for six weeks. I went to work after ten days, which, I was told, was probably overly optimistic.

[nmalfoy.livejournal.com]

Aw, shit. I was thinking, if I had to have it done, maybe I could do it right at the beginning of the show I'm directing (the next play--I close one and immediately go into directing) and that I could take 2-3 days off.

guess it'll have to wait till January. Which means brand new year and brand new deductible. Woe.

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

I can guarantee THAT is not going to work. It really does knock you flat for awhile.

[nmalfoy.livejournal.com]

You're right... that won't work. Well, it'll just have to wait and I'll just have to learn to live with the pain. It's not so bad, but it's constant and I can't get away from it, you know?

When I developed gallstones I was advised to eat as little fat as possible in between the diagnosis and surgery, in order to decrease the chances of more attacks. I didn't have constant pain so I don't know how much that would help in your case, but it couldn't hurt to try.

[nmalfoy.livejournal.com]

You're right. I don't eat much fat, so the few times I have (in one case, onion rings and in another, good old Tex-Mex) I was MISERABLE. I didn't connect that with the pain until the doctor asked if I'd had nausea. I was like "you know, actually..."

Not the brightest bulb on the tree. But I am really cutting back on fat. I guess it's spasms or something. It's not bad--like a 4 or so on a scale of 1 to 10 but it's annoying. I'M IN UR SIDE BEIN UR GALL BLADDER.

However, I'm not entirely sure I can trust you, seeing as you are a tool of Satan. *grin*

In this comment, minnehaha K. suggested a treatment her chiropractor told her about: lots of water, cold packs on the gall bladder to slow the spasms down, and this tea. Hope this helps!

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Oh, and my doctor's post-op instructions were: No driving for a week. No lifting anything heavier than a six-pack for a week. No lifting heavier than ten pounds for six weeks. (I think???)

And the CO2 they pump into your system really hurts. That, as well as the anaesthesia, can knock you flat.

[nmalfoy.livejournal.com]

Is that what this constant pain is? Spasms? I'm getting used to it but I will definitely try the cold packs and stop by the health food store tomorrow. Thank you SO MUCH (and minnehaha) for the tips. This is just annoying. The pain has not stopped once in about 3 weeks now. Grrrr.

Oh my.

And to think that's linked to a special gene -- I vaguely remember it as a recessive, but we're talking WAY too long ago....

Heck, I was impressed! I know a man here who can wiggle BOTH eyebrows.

Ah, hidden talents.

I can do that, too, but it hasn't helped me get any dates. Of course, I'm not young, gorgeous, and male.
