Hopefully my Gallstones: Liver ( Cyst) , Kidneys & other Detirus will then become clearer. It's all a bit of a mystery to me as i feel fine . We shall see .I am not overly worried 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑜 𝑓𝑎𝑟 𝑠𝑒𝑒𝑚 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒) 
 But I could do without the uncertainty. I could do without the Drama..
