date is set…

i saw my surgeon today and we bonded over hockey – go figure LOL!

we talked at length about the problem, went over the current state of my health and what he figured the situation dictated and sure enough, he agreed that a speedy removal of my stone-filled gallbladder was a ‘must do’. and quickly. 

also… in light of the fact that t and i had plans for other ‘procedures’ this month, my surgeon is expediting my surgery date and i’m going in on friday june 20 to have my gallbladder removed! ack! it’s a little sooner than i was psychologically ready for, but i’m super relieved to be getting it dealt with this quickly.

so… from june 20 until july 2 i’m going to be a bit spotty on the posting since i’m not sure how quickly my recovery will go. i’m expecting about a 7-10 day recovery time based on the fact that the doc is doing laparscopic surgery and i’m only going to have two smallish incisions [about 1-2" each]. organs will be adjusting to their new locations [since now the gallbladder will be gone lol!]. there is a less than 3% chance the doctor will be ‘unzipping’ me for the surgery so i should be recovered fairly soon. and back to eating a more normal diet quicker than anticipated. yay!!! i may be able to enjoy butter chicken again before the summer is done.

so that is the update my friends… i’ll post again very soon.
