So much for me being all better. Just got home from a 36 hour stay at the hospital that began with a 6am trip to the ER on Friday morning and the ER doc telling me I needed to have my gallbladder removed... as in NOW. The specialist surgeon who does this procedure all the time informed me that, of the over 7,000 gallbladders he has seen, mine was the worst ever and he has no clue how I've been living with it. Evidently it should have been removed a couple of years ago. So, here I am at home again with four small holes in my abdomen and minus one gallbladder. I'm in normal pain from the surgery, but feel so much better than I did when my gallbladder was still in tact. I'm really happy this one got figured out and am hoping it's my last disaster for at least the remainder of this year!
**Oh, and yet again I was incredibly impressed with my local ER and hospital. So lucky to have such good medical care within a 10 minute drive of my house. :)
