Gall Bladder #2

Wow, can you tell that I was doped up on drugs when I wrote my last post!

I am doing much better now. Still a little sore at the end of the day - nothing that ice doesn't help. The incision looks awesome and going back to work wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. The first day back was a little rough. I remembered the other day why I hadn't been wearing heeled shoes. You have to use some serious stomach muscle to wear those - and mine were still feeling like they'd been chopped to pieces!

I'm still not able to eat all of the good stuff but it's getting better. The first time I ventured out (two weeks post op) it wasn't good. The surgeon assured me that was normal and to give it a while. I'm pleased to say that today I managed to go to lunch at Red Robin and have a burger! I haven't gotten sick yet so we shall see how tomorrow goes!

That Pesky Gall Bladder

I finally, after 2 years, had my gall bladder removed yesterday. I have finally jumped through enough insurance hoops and hall of the tests done. For that $1000 I learned what I already know... it didn't work!!!

I was so excited to have it done so I could eat mozzarella sticks and have a salad.... that was until after I had it done and it hurts like HELL! I can barely walk and sleeping is a joke. My other surgeries didn't feel like this at all. The crazy thing is that it doesn't hurt when my gall bladder was clamped off but instead where they went through my belly button! It is so swollen and bruised. I expcted a little discomfort but WOW!

Hopefully the weekend would be better.... I'm going back to work tomorrow!
