Im having surgery.
Yep. On Friday, I'm going to be going under the knife. The more I think about it, the more nervous I get. I've been having some serious health issues for the past month or so, you see. I haven't been able to hold much of anything down. At one point, it got so bad that I couldn't even hold water down. anyway, it turns out that my gall bladder's gone on the fritz. It's decided to form gall stones, so I'm going to have to get my gall bladder removed. They're going to try to do it through keyhole surgery. If they do it that way, I'll be out of work for about another week, and I won't have to stay in the hospital at all. If they have to do it the old-fashioned way, there'll be a hospital stay, and I'll be out of work for four to six weeks.
I'm sort of nervous about it, to tell you the truth. I'm afraid I'll wake up in the middle of the surgery and be aware of what they're doing. The thought of that makes me shudder and whimper. I'm also nervous there'll be complications, and I'm afraid of the post-op pain. I heard it's pretty severe. I'm just hoping that I'm a fast healer, and they'll give me plenty of pain killers to get me through the first few days of it. My work's been pretty cool about it. I haven't gone in since Saturday, because it just hurt so bad. They've been understanding, and everything like that. My manager's going to try to get me on temporary disability, so I'll still get paid even though I won't be going into work during recovery time.
I'll post again sometime after my surgery to let everyone know I made it through. :P But, yeah. Surgery on Friday. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers, if you're the praying type. Thank you.
