Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Tomorrow; Bye Bye Gallbladder

Just a short blurb: I’m going in for a very routine procedure tomorrow to have my gallbladder removed. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Cholecystitis, and the pain over the past 2 weeks has been pretty bad at times. The surgery itself was scheduled over a week ago, so just waiting around for tomorrow to come has been the hard part. The procedure itself takes less than an hour, and carries virtually no risk of complications. The human body gets on just fine without a gallbladder…its only real purpose seems to be to get inflamed and cause the body lots of pain actually. Regardless, I’ll be fine. At this point I can’t remember what a pain free day feels like, so I’m very much looking forward to that feeling. Watch this space for more details.

Sidenote: The medical student in me wants them to tape the procedure so I can watch it later on. How wrong is that?

I hope it goes well. I certainly have been much happier since <a href="craniac.net mine removed</a> last year.

I survived, but man is the post-surgery pain INTENSE. Steve I'd love to ask you a few questions if you don't mind, I'll find a contact box on your blog. I appreciate you dropping by though.

Glad everything went ok - hope you got some medication to help with that post-op pain!
