1 missing Gall Bladder

Just a quick post to say that my gall bladder surgery went really well. I was at the hospital at 8:15 am and back home by 2:00. My abdomen is a little sore, but nothing that some Tylenol #3's can't fix. The Doctor thought that because of the fact that I'm already dizzy and nauseous that I'd be a lot worse after this surgery. Turns out I'm not. Other then my sore tummy and the fact I can't lift I actually don't feel any different then yesterday. Crazy thing, because the doc was expecting me to feel so bad he prescribed me some heavy duty anti nausea medication. It's actually what they give to people who are going through chemo. Jeff filled the prescription and our portion (after our drug plan) was $54. The total cost of the drug was $275!!! I had asked Jeff to still fill the prescription since this drug isn't supposed to make me as sleepy as Gravol. I thought it'd be nice to have for days when I get really dizzy. Had I known the cost, I'm not so sure I would have. Crazy!

So happy to have this surgery behind me. Hope it will be a long time before I have one again. Very thankful for answered prayers.

I was thinking today about my thought of taking surgery up as a hobby and realized that I actually think I may have already without realizing. I counted how many times I "went under the knife" and I've actually had 8 surgeries so far in just the past 14 years. I first had 2 knee surgeries when I was in my mid 20's. Then I had laser eye surgery. After that was a c-section. Then I had an exploratory surgery after Keira was born (turns out Septic shock was my problem but that's a story in itself). Then I had another c-section. Then finally with my brain surgery and now my gallbladder that makes 8. Boy, I really do need to find an easier way to get attention!
