Well I'm feeling well enough to type a short note. I'm doing better. Michael informed me that everything went well with the surgery. I had a hard time waking up. Over an hour. It was rough. I'm in pain but what bothers me more is that I can't pick up Lydia or put her to sleep. But it's only for two weeks. I don't want to do anything that will cause more of a problem.
We'll I'm going because I can't sit on anything hard for too long. Thanks for all the prayers.

Starving?
Well this past Friday was my visit with a surgeon. Dr. Brown so wonderfully informed me that not only do I definitely have gallstones but I have multiple. Seeing that he said this they will be taking out my gallbladder.
My surgery was then scheduled for Mon. the 13th at 12:30p.m. But of course I have to be there 2 hours early for the surgeon, 10:30 a.m. They then told me they want to do some test and blood work before that, that then pushes it another hour earlier. Bring me to 9:30 a.m. My favorite part is when they tell you nothing to eat or drink after midnight the day before. So not only do I have 3 hours to worry myself to death before surgery, I also get to be hungry and light headed.
Needless to say I am stressed. I've had alot of people tell me I will be fine. That's great and all, but when you have never had anything wrong and you hear put to sleep and surgery you get a little freaked out. Especially since it's a body part they are removing. So I feel I'm entitled to be a little upset. Once this is done great, but for now, No.
I just wish Michael would quick telling me "You'll be fine." I know he's trying to help but it's not.
Oh well, at least the Lord isn't whispering you'll be fine every 5 sec.

Gallbladder
Gallbladder n : pouch attached to the liver in which bile is stored.
As I was lying on one of those hospital beds in the E.R. at 4 in the morning on Tuesday, I kept thinking, what in the world is a gallbladder and why do I have one if they want to take it out? If they can take it out then it means I can live without one so why have it? I guess it's one of the many question I'll ask the Lord when I see him. All I know is that it sure does cause alot of pain when there is something wrong with it.
The ER Dr. said that the pain I am having is more likely caused by my gallbladder. So they sent me for an ultrasound. My Dr. called me back to tell me I have gallstones and then gave me a number for a surgeon to call and make a consultation appointment with. I'll be going this Friday to find out what they are going to do. I was hoping to keep all my parts until I was like 80 or something. I don't know. Hopefully I can take a pill. I'm scared to death about the whole idea of surgery. Even the nurse said I'm awfully young to be having gallstones. First Michael had his thing. I guess it's my turn. With Michael it was just fat cells. Mine it's a body part.
Oh Lord help me chill.
