The Picture I Didn't Want To Have To Post


Sigh...  I am in the hospital...  In the wee hours of the morning on Monday I woke up my husband and asked him to take me to the emergency room.  Turns out I had gallstones.  In fact, the surgeon's exact words when describing my gallbladder were, "a big bag of rocks."

The surgery was laparoscopic so hopefully the recovery will be relatively easy. 
 Please send good wishes this way.  

Thanks!

    1. Thanks, Lynn! It looks like it's going to be a lot easier to recover from a laparoscopic procedure than it was from an abdominal incision, so I'm not feeling too bad... ;)
