    Unhappy Emergency Gall Bladder Surgery

    Here I thought our heat going out, again, was going to be the interesting part of this week. I woke up Tuesday morning at 1:30 in excruciating pain. When we made it to the ER around 7am, the diagnosed my gall bladder and ordered surgery that day. It wasn't until 10:30pm last night that I was finally taken back for surgery. I am home now recuperating.

    Apparently, some of my long-term health issues were most likely related to the "very nasty" gall bladder the surgeon removed. I'm glad it is all over with - and DH did get our heat fixed (between sitting with me at the hospital and coordinating family members who were helping us with the kids).

    Dang you've had enough for a while haven't you?

    Those gall bladders can be NASTY! I can still remember the pain my mom was in with hers, and that was more than 35 years ago. I KNEW she hurt when she was on the floor in the entry way to the garage! Even remember the Dr. coming over and giving her a shot just to get her to the hospital!

    Now you rest up and let them baby you for a bit, you deserve it!

    I just had mine out at the end of September. You'll feel so much better once you've recuperated

    Take it easy and give yourself time to recover before you jump off and start doing the heavier stuff again. You'll be thankful in the longrun as you'll get over it quicker. (ask me how I know this )
