Adventures in Gallbladder Land!

Well, I am back home sans Gallbladder. I got away with keyhole surgery thank god so recovery time should be good. I was first on the list much to Jason's relief (he does not wait well) and went down at 08.20. By the time I had finished telling them to mind my teeth and remember my seafood allergy they were relieved when they knocked me out and I shut up! I woke up grateful to not feel a drain but had extra cuts which I can live with. I had an overnight stay because the pain was very bad and the stones were the size of golf balls. No wonder it hurt. I wasn't allowed to keep them though miserable lot due to health and safety. Recovery is slow but steady but I am already feeling much better. I was told no follow up appointment but one came through today for July which I will attend.

Apart from that I get to sit around at home resting. How long will that novelty wear off?
