luka got knocked up by sailor moon and is gestating the silver crystal in his bile duct

Hey guess who spent last night in the hospital!

It turns out that I am the best rockhound EVER. I grew my very own crystal inside my gallbladder. It's shaped like a triangle and just looked SO COOL on the ultrasound that I practically wanted to name it Damien because who's my precious little antichrist who's my widdle hellspawn YES YOU IS

Christ, you know I was there last year. So much fun.

The only up side is that once it's gone you do feel instantly better.

Good luck.

What's the recovery like? Did you get sliced or did they go in laprowhatsit (i didn't sleep shhh)?

They tried to do the laprothingy on me, in which case it would have been same-day outpatient treatment, but it didn't work for some reason so they had to cut me open proper.

I spent about 4 days in the hospital. They cut right where I had to bend to move so it was kind of a pain in the ass, and it was hard to get up and walk around for the first day or two but after that I was slow-moving but it wasn't too difficult to get by. As long as you take it slow and easy, you can get things done pretty well.

Hopefully they'll be able to do the laprowhatever on you, in which case it's a lot easier to deal with. Even in my more 'worst case' scenario, it wasn't too bad pain/immobility wise.

Cost me about a thousand bucks with insurance, though. And they didn't let me keep it in a little jar.

I'm hoping you at least get to keep Damien and/or organs as a reminder of this whole adventure :( keep us posted?

Holy crap, get better soon! We're moving in August and want to do that dinner we talked about. (It's Morgaine) Hopefully on the bright side they might let you keep the crystal. >3

That would be the best addition to the family, ever. I hope you be goings well, Lukas. Maybe when they pulls it out, you can keeps it with the rest of the crystal family.
