Severe Pain and Torment = Gallstones

Well apparently I owe McDonald's an apology. Well kinda. The food there is the reason my gallbladder acted up and sent me to the ER last Friday  night. I had the same pain as the night before only this time I let myself be talked into going to the ER. They did some tests and told me that I have a lot of gallstones. So long story short I'm having my gallbladder removed on Tuesday. Fun fun fun. I am looking forward to no more pain but not looking forward to surgery at all.
Apparently it's a pretty simple procedure and they do it all the time. And I do mean all the time. Apparently a lot of people have had this done. I had no idea it was so popular. I tend to hang on to my organs. Well except for those pesky tonsils. Those bad boys had to go. So I guess my gallbladder will go the same way as those two. I will bid it a fond farewell. After all it did last 29 years. That's better then most things these days. LOL So yeah..it'll be going to wherever those evicted organs go. Maybe there is some crazy place they keep diseased or unusable organs. Or maybe they save them and show them to med students. That's a much better thought then thinking they just throw it away. My gallbladder will live on and help others. :)
So my surgery will be on Tuesday. So hopefully Wednesday I will wake up and feel awesome. Well as awesome as you can after surgery.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I'm going to enjoy my weekend as much as I can on a low fat diet and I'll talk to you post surgery.
