Thanks to everyone

Thanks to everyone who wished me well...I'm up and around pretty well, rested most of yesterday, of course. Came home 4 hours after my surgery, ate a sandwich, took some oxycontin and went to bed. LOL Got up for dinner and then messed around on the computer a bit. If I time the pain pill right, I can sit for about 3 hours before I need to lie down

*hugs you gently* I'm glad you are feeling better. Hopefully everything will heal quickly and you'll be back on your feet in no time.

I hope so too...I could get cranky being in bed all day. LOL But yeah...it's amazing how fast you're back home and on your feet with this way of doing surgery.

OMGosh did you know that your gallbladder was so bad?

I hope you feel better soon!

I was sort of getting an idea the last two weeks that it was getting really bad..I was having pain and nausea every time I ate anything.

but glad it's all over, whew...

I hope you are 100% feeling better very soon!

That...was a lot of stones, am so happy to know surgery went well and it's out of your life forever.

Recover quickly and may it be lasting! *hugs*

Yeah, I've been collecting stones for 15 or more years, it seems. I had a gall bladder infection 18 years ago and it could have come out then, but my insurance carrier dropped me. (Illegally, as it turns out, but that didn't help me at the time, as it took 9 months to prove it.)

But, I'll be down a bit longer than is usual because it was so enlarged...took a bigger incision to extract the thing. Usually they use 3 tiny incisions, but I have three small ones and one larger one, about 2 inches long. I'm guessing that's how they got it out as it was twice the usual size.
