Vor is up for a cholecystectomy

[vorlon13]

If you get the laparoscopic procedure you'll have four small holes, three in a line and one in the umbilicus, the "exit" for parts not needed any more. I didn't need any meds after 72 hours.

Good to hear.

How did eating go ??

I'm assuming I get an information packet as they shovel me out the door, but real world info is always great.

I figure slow and steady progression to my 'regular' diet, but when I was shopping earlier, I was amazed at how much fat is in everything.

My older sis said within a month she was pretty much not watching out for anything, something I find encouraging.  I don't want to push things, I really hate throwing up.


CL will find this hysterical:

A major side effect of the narcotic pain reliever is constipation.  I was plugged up anyhow from truck driving and diet change that goes along with harvest, and I've been a little (mistakenly) skittish of late about Fibercon, but lo and behold, got real brave, steeled my resolve, braced myself for the worst and popped a suppository.

Relief accrued in a 1/2 hour.  Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine, the log jam blew itself into the watery void, scared EABUC#2 with a whoop of accomplishment, and am looking forward to first thing in the morning now.

Another curious preparatory item was being informed to wash with special soap tonite, sleep on freshly laundered bedding, wear freshly laundered clothes, shower again in morning with more special soap, and head on in to be gutted like a pig being prepared for a luau.

You can't imagine how badly I want this over with.

Get it out of me!!

Get it out of my body!!!

Now now now !!!!
