Another Slice and Dice

Upon visiting with Dr. E about my liver enzymes being high and some issues I'd been having with eating (and keeping food down), he suggested that I visit a surgeon and talk about gall bladder removal.  So, on to yet another doc...Dr. Meece.

He agreed that it was probably a good decision to remove the gall bladder, and after considering the school calendar and some family related items, I decided to spend my Fall Break having surgery.  So, the 17th (little bro's birthday) at 5am, the folks and I trekked to my favorite pink home away from home for what amounted to about a 30 minute surgery.  Was back home by 10am and in bed sleeping.

For the most part, things have gone very well.  The surgery was done laparoscopicly so I have about 4 "holes" that I have to contend with.  The main one is in the same spot as the drain tubes for the transplant, which has always been a tender area.  I went back today for the follow up...@ 20 stones and no work for the rest of the week.  While I don't like being away from work, I have to admit, a few days of extra rest will be nice!
