Yep, I was in the hospital to get my gallbladder out

Man, if it wasn't for LJ we'd be complete strangers.

But, I'm glad you're doing better. =]

Don't feel bad. There were people here I didn't tell if I didn't have to. I don't like people worrying when there isn't much that can be done.

Ee! My aunt had that done a few years ago... that's an intensive procedure... I hope you feel better soon. <3

[studyofme]

Thank you. ^__^ Well they do this new lasik (I assume that's how one spells it), so it's not as bad as a few years ago. Before they had to slice a person open, but now they just use little inscisions which they can throw tape on and let the body heal itself. It's pretty neat. No stitches!

[morluna]

Oh wow, cool!

[mpts]

you had keyhole surgery D= *hugs* ...Are you going to have to take supplements and such now? In order to replace the gall stuffs, I mean.

I hope your healing goes quickly! =(

[studyofme]

Well the liver breaks down fats too, so the gallbladder isn't really needed that's why they can simply take it out like they do tonsils.

Thank you. My healing's going pretty quick.

*hugs* I hope you have a quick and speedy recovery.

[studyofme]

I will. The surgery isn't too complicated, and I'm being very very pampered. XD

[atomic_girl_1]

Glad the surgery went alright. Minimally invasive surgery makes for shorter recovery time. Lucky you. Be carefull with the Vicoden though, its a powerful narcotic and easily addictive.

[studyofme]

Pat? It sounds like you, so... ~hug~ ~coughstudyofme@yahoo.comcough~

Yeah, the actually mix the Vicoden with acetaminophen, so you get the lowest dosage you need and a pain killer to help. I haven't had enough pain to use it but a few times.
