What do you know about Sandisfield, MA 01255 ??? My stinking rugrat has gone from looking quite seriously at Dartmouth to now looking at Amherst -- both have offered early admission and monies. I wanna be like a couple of hours away, and that area isn't far from where I could be employed.

and I want to attack early cuz real estate looks like it's hard to come by....

Yes way to expensive!
Jay.. Rural as heck?
Trying to start looking and keep a budget in mind and your neck of the woods is -not- cheap. The east seems to be property tax heavy.
heres a lil google search. Look through those. Idk if the locations suit ur needs. Good luck

THat is so terrible. My wife had issues with hers many years ago. Two attacks and two useless ER visits got her a referal to a surgeon. 5 minutes into her mom's side of the family and their history with gallbladders- too many attacks to count and out of 6-5 were removed- surgery was scheduled two weeks later. I wish you the best while you endure this food hell.

thank you so much for your thoughts.
Is your wife ok now???
Yes I have had two attacks one led me into the ER. Almost emergency surgery but they gave me (what I call the Michael Jackson killer drug) propophol (spelling)..
WOW!!!!
DO NOT EVER TAKE THAT STUFF!!!!
The nurse administering it said it takes up to 15 seconds and you should feel no pain it took me two seconds I fell over sideways and went into a comatose state!!!!
scared the ? outta me!!! Yes I felt no pain.... but I also DIDNT FEEL THE REST OF MY BODY!!!
I chanced going home and have been picking at food like a bird ever since...
My new surgery date was made yesterday
For September 18. Of course a Friday...
I am just scared my boss will call us back to work by then.. he already told us do not expect to take any days off for the rest of the year!?!?!?!? He is indeed a......
“Punk head”. ?

I also have an intestinal disease. It sucks big time. It has totally removed my desire for food. I eat, then in about 10 to 15 minutes I either have serious diarrhea or vomiting, sometimes both. It's called Gastroparesis. So I quit eating most stuff. I have lost 11 pounds in 14 days. My new skinny jeans are a size 4 woo hoo!!!

You stinker! ?

She is fine now and can even eat lettuce. It is amazing the amount of pain that gallbladder causes. My wife had a staghorn kidney stone- 2nd largest that year at 3.5 centimeters and she didn't even complain about that!

Oh, did you mean Family Feud on TV? Not us? Damn I missed a good subject. I used to love FF until I watched a marathon of them. Steve Harvey says the same thing the same way every time. His laugh is so phony it irritates me. I used to LOVE that show and him. But not anymore. In Final Jeopardy watch how he puts his arm around the women and holds them to him. But in the very same situation with men, he hits them with that cue card and lets them just stand there. I've always liked Steve, but watch nothing but FF for a week like I did and it like watching a rerun, with different people

Personally I like the original family feud
with Richard Dawson...
he was always drunk
he was always kissing the ladies on the lips and always had a Dirty innuendo in his pocket....?
That was so messed up to watch..
Now a days he’d be UNDER the prison!!??

women always compare pain with child birth... if you have kids... that stone (to her)
Was like a splinter.... please tell her I said

OMG- I have had one small kidney stone that ruined a Thanskgiving in 1986. Oh did it hurt it is my 10 for my pain scale. I just wanna see how she does if she breaks a bone, muscle strains are nothing she has had purple fingers before and kept playing tennis.

Gall bladder... ugh sorry for anyone that has or is suffering.
I was extremely sick my entire first pregnancy and in pain. Basically told by my doctor..”you are pregnant with a big baby and you are small..get over it”.. my son was born in June of 1998. All 9lbs13ozs and 24 inches of him by csection. I am 5’1 and weighed 125-130lbs before pregnancy. I was on bed rest for what they thought was preeclampsia. Blood pressure was elevated and swelling in my legs. Was sick all the time vomiting, diarrhea. horrible acid reflux - thought it was morning sickness. Certain foods would really set me off.

I came home. Started peeing what looked like the darkest iced tea you have ever seen. In pain. Was told that was due to csection. In July of 1998 I called my brother to come sit with me I was hurting so bad. I laid the phone down and passed out from the pain.

Hospital. Emergency gall bladder removal. The pain was because it had burst. I had pounds! Of stones. I had to have a follow up surgery not even a week later where they went down my throat to check for missing stones and check to make sure I didn’t have other issues. Did some repairs on my esophagus from the acids.

That was worse than the csection. Over 20years later can barely see my scars. No acid reflux.

I am sooo sorry for anyone dealing with this. Although I have through my experiences managed to tell other people to get checked. Very common in hard water areas in women.
-Meg
