...Let alone Mr. Ashcroft. And I'm no fan to put it mildly. But yeah, gallstones--first you think you're dying then you wish you would, it's completely the right way to describe it. If there had been a gun nearby I would have shot myself. It's good they caught it when they did, because pancreatitis can be fatal.

Glad the sucker's out!

...how it compared to childbirth. My MIL had this, right after her husband died too. How awful.
