I'm home

Hi all, Well, you know me...can't do anything half a**ed!!!  I'm glad Rhonda gave you the Reader's Digest condensed version, but I'll fill in the blanks.  When the doc went in with the scope to remove the gallbladder he found an internal hernia, so had to convert to an open incision. Then he found a part of the small bowel that had twisted and had already started to lose blood flow. Thank God I had this scheduled when I did, no telling how bad it could have been if it had gone much longer. Since he had to remove part of the bowel, he did some rerouting and increased the amount of food I'll be able to absorb.  Hopefully I'll have a better time maintaining my weight now. H Love you all,

Wow when you go in for surgery you don't do it half a**ed.  All joking aside glad you are ok and home from the hospital.  And hope you recovery will be fast speedy and pain free. Barb

Ohh Susan..Im so glad that the surgeon found the problem and was able to fix it.  Again, I do beleive that things happen for a reason..the timing was perfect *hugs*

Nancy, I've been wondering where you were. How nice to see your smiling face and your message. Hope to see more of you now. big hugs, well, as big as I can give, that is

aww..youre so sweet! *hugs* thank you..i do intend to stay this time..not going to isolate anymore.

"so I feel like a truck hit me, at least I'm cute" You sure are! Glad you got all of that behind you! ... whew! "Staples come out on Thursday." Why are they coming out?... did you run out of toner or file folders??? .... Office Depot has better prices...

Jeeze, I sure wish my gallbladder surgery went as smoothly as yours, Marc.. But, like I said, if something weird can happen it usually happens to me.  This is the second time I've had a surgery where "you're only the 3rd person who's had this" has been said to me. Trust me, I'm no trailblazer! Anyway, thanks for the kind words.  Keep on keeping on!

Susan, It's GREAT to see you here!  It's even better to hear they found the problem and fixed it...  I have no doubt you are absolutely adorable!  LOL  Keep your spirits up.......  you'll be well again before you know it. Kathi

I'd feel better if I could just get a handle on this pain. It's the worst I've ever had. Usually I'm out shopping or cleaning house by day 4....now it's all I can do to get from point A to point B.  Thanks for your sweet words.  See ya later!

yes you are cute!! and you're home safe...wow--thank God, susan, that you went in for this when you did!!!!!! when the swelling goes down can we have an updated photo??? hugs!!!!!!!!!
