Gallbladders and Bile
Bile is produced in the liver, stored and concentrated in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine. Bile emulsifies the lipids in fatty food and makes it easier to digest. Unfortunately, the gallbladder can develop gallstones which can be tiny grains or as big as golf balls. Some cause no trouble but others may become life threatening.

I know how hard it is. I'm like you, collecting UI benefits with an old car worth about $3000, but that's too much for getting Medicaid or anything else.
