Hi! After an abdominal ultrasound around a week ago, I found out I had gallstones. I was having some abdominal discomfort especially after eating, but nothing severe or unbearable, so this diagnosis made sense. I was also experience weird sharp back pain occasionally. My PCP said since I’m not in any pain/gallbladder was not inflamed/ never had an attack, I should not be too worried and surgery right away wasn’t necessary.

My concern is that I don’t want to let things get worse just because I’m not in any severe pain. Unfortunately I will be back in school until December, but I would like to get the surgery asap while on winter break. Is it safe to wait 4ish months to have the removal surgery? How long did you wait to get yours removed? Thanks!

My best friend of 7 years recently impulsively took 2 kittens from her coworkers cats litter. She initially told me she intended to keep them, but needed me to house 1 until she could convince her parents. I already have cats so this wasn't an issue for me.
When I asked about where the other kitten was going, she told me she had given it to her ex boyfriend. Context they recently broke up due to him cheating HORRIBLY with his ex girlfriend (the story is so bad, he hung out and hooked up with them at different times on the same days). I was taken aback by the fact that she gave him the other kitten, and she revealed to me that she had been hanging out with him every couple of days. A week went by and I kept texting her about whether she was going to keep the kitten. She often left my messages on delivered or read, and when she responded, she would say she didn't know and hasn't figured it out yet. I even asked her if she could buy the kitten food since she only gave me enough for a few days, in which she left my message on read. I finally got her to respond about when she was going to pick him up/take him to the vet and she responded saying she didn't have a plan and was busy with work. I started to get frustrated and told her I couldn't house the cat for much longer without knowing her plans. She said she would take him to a shelter since she could not pay to take care of him nor had time to take him to the vet. I said I would keep him since I did not want him going to a shelter as a kitten and asked for her consent to keep him. She has not answered in 2 days. Am I overreacting for being frustrated at her irresponsibility, or should I be more understanding with her situation (emotional distr from breakup/ personal family affairs)

Hello! I am 20 yrs old and have nafld. My bloodwork is healthy and does not indicate me having nafld, but my ultrasound and mri showed that I did have it. I went to my dr and we already have a care plan. I am getting my wisdom teeth removed on Saturday and was wondering if there are any pain meds I should avoid using. My dr said no but I just wanted to make sure since I know some can effect the liver. Thanks!
