So anyway
Table of contents for Gallbladder Madness
So yeah, February always seems to be my month for health-related or other types of weirdness, and to keep up that tradition I had my gallbladder removed last week. I might do a longer post on the details of that once I can comfortably sit at the computer for a longer period and type more. (My hands are ouchy from the IV and blood draws and my belly doesn’t like to be bended, so much.)
So anyway I was just laying in bed looking at the new holes I have, and everything’s kind of ouchy, and I can’t move really well, and I keep getting these weird pinchy sensations where my gallbladder used to be, and I think – holy crap, someone cut three holes in me and stuck some implements up in there and snipped away one of my organs and yanked it out through my belly button. And despite that seeming as if it’s a big deal, kinda, I also feel as if I should be immune to the effects of it. OK that happened to me yesterday. Why do I still feel badly today? It’s both too big of a deal to be processed and something I would like to be entirely done with as of now, if you please.
I understand that I should probably be all “modern marvels of medicine!” and epiphany-laden, but really I am just a chick with the same exact issues she had last week, now with three extra holes and one fewer organs and a bunch of dried blood in her belly button. And also, you know, ow.

Get well soon. *HUG*
So far I don’t have all that much of an attention span, but I think I may try to stay awake for some consecutive hours tonight. Mostly I want to be asleep and forget that movement makes my stomach feel like it’s coming back apart. Don’t think I will be back to work until the end of the week, I have plenty of sick time built up and plan to make use of it.
