Keyhole Of Horror

Jun 08, 2009 17:55

I haven't been around much on LJ lately. One of the reasons for that is that last Monday I was stabbed five times and had my gallbladder sliced out, using a hot wire...I know there is a fancy name for the operation but I've forgotten what it is. I can tell you that it was "keyhole surgery" (hence all the tiny wounds) and that it healed up fast, ( Read more... )

Glad you're on the mend anyway :) I was just thinking of you today; I've not seen you for ages. You haven't even been to our house since we moved around the corner!

I know, I must rectify that, as soon as I feel more normal.

We'll work something out. Be good to see you. Lots to catch up on too. :) Hope you feel better soon.

Oohhhh, good advice there, thanks. I feel OK and it is really tempting to think I'm over it. But Unimag KEEPS telling me to rest. Seems like I should heed him then.

Okay, this just happened to poor A's mother in April, and I was just talking to my (former) boss on the phone the other day and she's going in for surgery for the same. It's contagious, apparently.

(Laparoscopy, btw.)

Darling, gallbladder surgery is the new black. For your wedding to be really trendy you should have given each guest a gallstone, with the date etched on it.

you are such a hoot, darling. No matter how blue I'm feeling, your posts never fail to cheer me up. Even with everything you've been through recently, you've maintained your delightful sense of humour. Well done!
BTW, I'm facing the "new black" surgery at some point myself -- thanks for the preview! lol

Aww, thanks! Actually, having the op must have lowered my immune system and now I have an abcess under my tooth. I'm not kidding when I say the pain is FAR worse than any gallbladder surgery. Thank god for drugs.

I hope you get your surgery soon and it goes well.

It took my girlfriend a couple of months to get back to normal after hers. Now she just has a little lightning bolt coming out of her navel.
