Surgery, Monday morning.
Friday, November 4, 2011 by Snowman | Discussion: Community
Monday morning 8AM (Real world time)
I'm having my gallbladder removed. It's been causeing me nothing but trouble the past years.
OUT!! BE GONE, YOU FOUL THING!
Nervous? Not the slightest. I'm actually looking forward to it!
The procedure is quite "simple". Can be done in one of two ways.
1. They poke 4 sticks through my belly, and cut it out that way - and I'll be released the same day. (For some serious pampering by my girlfriend) ![]()
2. They drag out the big chainsaw, slice my up and remove it the 'old style' way - 2-3 days recovering in hospital. (Fuck that.....)
I'll update my Facebook about the progress from Monday afternoon - when or if I wake up. ![]()

Heya, Doreen. Long time no see.
Snowy, did they pull out the the right organ?

Last time I saw China she had renamed herself Sugaree, probably from the song of the same name.

So Snowy, had the op yet? Have the gonads been removed? ![]()
What? No web access in the hospital? Bummer...

Great to hear from you again, Sis!! How's Dutchy doing? Bring him along over here too - the ol' cray-fish. ![]()
Ps.: There ain't no such thing as internet connections on minor Danish hospitals.
Fuzzy: Doing a nut-job on me, would be a waste of time. They aint working any way. ![]()
Deven: Yup, they got the right thingy out.
My belly is more or less covered in bandaid. I'll try to get a desent pic up tomorrow.
As for pain. Sorry, Paul but considering what I've been through I'm overall in no pain. ![]()
The only noticable pain I've got is in my right shoulder.... All because my belly had to filled with air during the procedure.
Dunno why but that -could- cause shoulder pain with some patients - and offcourse me.
I expect to be fully back 'on top' within a couple of days. ![]()

No. Just...no.

Referred pain from under the right side of your diaphragm, and the gall bladder. starkers had it too, if memory serves.
Great to hear you're ok, and minus only one part... ![]()

To think, not that long ago gallbladder surgery was an ordeal with a big incision and a one-week hospital recovery. We often lose sight of (or never had reason to be aware of) what remarkable advances in surgical technology have occurred over the past 15-20 years.

Doreen goes put that in a safe place. (and toss you some of that Karma stuff)
Hello Deven! Great to see you!!! 
Oh yeah thazzz right she changed her name over here now I remember... Thanks, Fuzzy Wuzzy!

Snowyyyyy!

I'm so happy you survived your surgery and now that I know all is well I guess I'll be coming back in another 4 years to check in on you when they get ready to do an appendectomy on you next! j/k!
I'm truly happy all went safe and well w/ you snowy. But you gets no Karma from me jussss this!!!

Yup, sure did. Still get it from time to time, but nowhere near as excruciatingly as before. In fact it's quite mild as to compared to before, and apparently I get to keep my gall bladder a while longer if I behave... dietarily speaking, that is.

Day #1 after surgery.... Still alive, but the shoulder pain is friggin killing me. >.<
Painkillers only takes the top off the pain. Everytime I breath in I get a sharpe pain. Just like someone pokeing my shoulder within a stick - from the inside!
Dang it smarts.
Other than that all's good. ![]()
Had a surprisingly good nights sleep. (Purhaps because of not being alone...)
