HUH?
Yeah - back in January I had a gall bladder attack, then another in like March or April, and I had been having like middle of the night sick feelings and sometimes vomiting, so I finally went to the doctor and said - we have to figure this out. So I had an ultrasound of my gall bladder to see if there was anything there. And guess what!?!?! There was something - gall stones - so then I saw a surgeon and he said - it has to come out - and I said - ok. So the nurse comes in and says let's go schedule you, and all I could think was - JUNE 30TH!
So I got my gall bladder removed on the 27th of June. Brent and I spent the week before doing stuff like whirl wind trips to Myrtle Beach and Wilmington. Check up at the dentist. Went swimming in my sister's new pool - ooo - i need to get a picture of it for you guys - and had a quiet Sunday afternoon before the surgery.
It was quick and easy - at least compared to everything else I've had done. Woke up and felt alright - left the hospital a little after three I guess - most of it was a blur. The doctor found a hernia near my belly button and fixed it while he was in there, but other than that everything went fine.
Brent has been like the best little helper ever. Keeping me in water and lunches and meds. He's like the gall bladder expert with his people now too, which is funny. Last night I was finally able to lay down and sleep in my bed. I have plans to ask my doctor if that's unusual. Trust me.
So, one more week and I should be able to go swimming again, and hopefully drive some tomorrow or Monday. We went riding for like four hours today, and I did good through all of that.
SO - to sum up - I lost a couple of pounds - in gall - lool
