Score!
I had my ammunition all ready for the surgeon today - didn't need it. The good news is the gall bladder shall be removed! The bad news - not until 12/23. I asked if they ever had cancellations and the scheduler said not really. He operates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays so Gretchen said I should call Monday and Tuesday and ask if there were any cancellations.
Gretchen: Why not? Someone could die and would no longer need their surgergy! It could so happen.
Always the optimist, that one. Depending on your point of view, of course.
Gretchen was a great distraction today, yak, yak, yakking about herself for hours. Jeez Louise, woman! Stop making me laugh.... which only egged her on more.
We're taking our show on the road again tomorrow - she's going with me for the pre-op stuff. God, she loves to torture me.
I felt so high after the appointment, now that we have a plan. It actually took me a few hours to realize it was only my head feeling better; my gall bladder still sucks.
I'm taking next week off - using short-term disability. I felt a little initial guilt, and not for any good reason that I could think of. See above paragraph about gall bladder still sucking - no more guilt. That's what it's there for, silly goose!
I must say I was a little surprised that Simon wasn't more joyous about the timing of this surgery. A couple of years ago he had four wisdom teeth removed on 12/23 and "totally ruined" his Christmas. Paybacks really are a bitch.

Yippie, no more gall bladder! What a Christmas for you. Did you give you any pain meds? That will make it a whole lot more fun. Glad to hear it will soon all be over for you.
I read your previous entry first, of course - - - - it taking me down the bad memory lane.
So glad to read this entry and see that the villian will come out soon.
And hope to soon hear that you are having a painless and rapid recovery.
Sending best wishes for a smooth surgery and speedy recovery!
Those post-GB pain meds are sooooo good. I remember taking one, and then watching Jerry Springer on TV, what an amusing day that was. My only regret when I had my GB removed is that the surgeon REFUSED to throw in a free tummy tuck while he was chopping away down there. Oh well, at least I asked. Good thoughts heading your way.
I shall think of you as I partake of daughter's well prepared meal. :-)
Now off to fight with the code here.
Best of luck! My dad had his gall bladder removed years ago and since then, he can eat whatever he wants. Sucks that it had to happen around Christmas, but you'll start the new year feeling so much better!
YAY STEFFI!! I'm happy to hear that your GB attacks will soon be over. If you need anything, call me! My thoughts are with you!
