Well, it's done. Gallbladder plucked & gone. And if I may so....OUCH.
The nurses were wonderful. The doctor was pleasant & confident. The anesthesiologist was cool and I'm not just saying that because she told me I looked no older than 35
Only drawback was the dilaudid they gave me for pain before I realized what they were doing. Made me nauseated later, then the anti-nausea drug didn't really do anything so they gave me dramamine, which worked, but then it took me a while to feel up to going home. Surgery was at 9:30 AM, I got home about 8:00 PM.
Got 4 new holes in me (small ones though) and my insides are saying WTF JUST HAPPENED?
And one of my managers thinks I'll be back to work in less than a week. Yeaahhh...not happening. I figured on a week. It might be two. Post-op appt with the doc isn't until July 8. So work can wait until I get the OK to go back.
For now I'm going sit here, eat soup and jello, read my books and listen to the birds sing.
