Had Gallbladder Surgery Yesterday
I was a little nervous about this, as I am 42 years old and have NEVER had surgery, stitches, anesthetic in my whole life.
But I had gallstones and had to have my gallbladder removed.
It was so simple and easy, and other than being a little sore, I feel fine.
Amazing how far sugery has come ... I remember my mom having a hysterectomy when I was very young. She had an incision ALL the way across her belly, and stayed in bed for two weeks, doctors orders. Now, hysterectomies are same-day outpatient surgery, too.
Just wanted to let anyone who is having surgery soon, or who has never had it ... don't worry! I'm the biggest weenie in the world about things like this, and it was fine.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
