So Long, Gallbladder
This past Monday, my gallbladder was evicted. It had been a bad tenant for the past several months, and its time was up.
It was my first real surgery, with the exception of having my wisdom teeth out back in 1999. And honestly, I can’t get over how easy it was. In fact, I was out of surgery by about 1:30, and they sent me home at 4:00. I kept thinking – don’t you think I should stick around here a bit longer? I mean, are you SURE it’s ok for me to head home? But I trusted they knew what they were doing better than I did, and home I went.
All this week I have help with my kids, which are the only thing I can’t really handle on my own. Well, that and full baskets of laundry. I’m on a lifting restriction for another week. It feels almost like a vacation. I’m always thankful for my friends and family who consistently pitch in when I need it.
I guess I’m just writing to tell you that I’m ok, and to apologize for the slow posting lately, as I haven’t quite been feeling my best. Which means fun things like cooking creatively, crafting, reading, and anything else tied to leisure have been put to the side. I’m hoping that will all change soon. And also to say that I really do have the best friends and family a girl could ask for. You guys are the berries!
So glad you are feeling better! Can’t wait to see you and the kids is a couple of weeks!!!
When I saw the title of the post, I was hoping the top picture wouldn’t be of a gallbladder
Glad you’re feeling well. See you soon(ish)!
I hope you are feeling better. If you need anything, just give me a call.
