Jiggity-jig.

Yesterday, I woke Vinny up at 6am, in tears.  My gallbladder decided not to wait until December.

I went in for surgery around 2:30pm and I was discharged at about 3 today.  wild, yeah?

Percoset is my friend, but I'm likely out of touch for a few days.  I'm good.  Feeling way better than before surgery.

I'm still available for post-surgery Avie-sitting, just let me know.

I'm not glad that you were in that much pain, but I'm very glad your gallbladder is *gone*! I'll keep wishing you a speedy recovery.

I just love modern medicine.

The only reason I took so long was that I am a medical mutant -
most people - such as yourself, normal people - have one or
two arteries leading to their gall bladder. that's it, one or
two - not a rough guesstimate but a medical certainty. Me? FIVE.

Hearing just how short your stay was makes me very relieved for you.

Yow! I bet you're also one of the freaks with a million micro-vessels leading to and from your heart.

V's mom was one of those folks, so when she was showing a 20% Ejection Fraction, those freakish tiny vessels easily saved her life. I'm all in favor of medical freakism, even when it makes for rougher surgeries and shocked surgeons. :-D

I have no idea, but if it could save my life, I certainly
hope I am! & yes, the Hubby (tm) told me that the surgeon
was not just shocked but exhausted when he finally was done.
