I was in the Hospital - Now I'm Home!

[RICHARD]

Good luck, Karen. It'll go smoothly. You'll be back home before you know it!!

Had my gall bladder out years ago just when it became arthroscopic surgery. I was back to normal in a week.

Send hugs and prayers from CT

I had my first good laugh of the day, thanks to you!

I don't mean to be nitpicky?

An 'arthroscopic' surgery is usually a joint/bone procedure.

A 'laparoscopic' surgery is done with a scope into a body cavity.

----------------------------------------

Karen should be back at home in the following day or two.

GB problems are terrible and really painful.......

Get well soon.

Thanks everybody, I am more alert today than when Paul last saw me, and hope to be able to go home today if all goes well.

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes, they mean a lot!

"X" <-- here are fingers crossed that you're continuing to heal quickly and home very soon. But the feel better fast part is the most important! ~~~ healing ~~~ vibes.

[Karen]

Thanks everyone! I am home now, and feeling much better, without giving you the gory details. Bandages and all I can deal with, glad not to be anchored to a bed or an IV stand. I have been told to get plenty of rest over the next week, but after that, the gallbladder surgeon indicated that many of my food intolerances were misdiagnosed, long-standing gallbladder disease. Hopefully there will be a good side to this! But we will be proceeding with caution, regardless!

So Karen had a boney gallbladder! Boney/stoney - really pretty much the same!

Good catch Hawk Eye. I never even noticed that little blooper. Either way, I know that Karen is just glad to be rid of it.

Feel better soon, Karen.

I'm glad to hear that your surgery went well. I hope that you are feeling much better soon!

[robinh]

Glad to hear things went well and you can go home soon. I'm sure you will recover quicker in your own home.

Glad to hear all went well. I know too well the pain of gall stones. I have a lovely cluster of them in my gall bladder. I still haven't had mine removed cause I am on a wait list for bilio-pancreatic diversion surgery and they want to avoid me being put under twice when all can be done at one time. Take it easy and heal well. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Glad she's out and everything is okay!! Feel better soon Mayor.
