Flowers sent by my workplace - they know me so well - I love purples and pinks and especially mini-carnations!Well, the surgery is over and I am now minus one gallbladder, which was full of stones! Everything went well, and while I am in pain, it's being managed pretty good thanks to some Darvocet. One thing I didn't expect was to hurt near my collarbones, going toward my shoulders...apparently that is the result of the air they pump into you in order to see everything laparoscopically. It is about on par with the incision pain! But I've eaten and had lots of water and moved around the house a bit between naps, so that's good. According to the doctor, I will probably hurt worse tomorrow - so we'll see. I have my meds, my TV remote, and computer access when I can drag myself out of bed (which I should be doing periodically), so hopefully I'll be able to weather whatever my body throws at me.
Thanks again for all the well-wishes!!!

ReplyDeleteHubby had his gallbladder out, before we even met. He still has to be careful what he eats - greasy foods make him sick.
