Just thought I would take a couple minutes to let you know that I survived my gallbladder surgery. However, I will have to say that I think that I totally underestimated the pain factor. I was really hoping to go shopping today....YEAH RIGHT!!!! What was I thinking????? When I came out of surgery.... I'll have to tell you .... I had some extreme pain that just didn't want to go away. It wasn't where they cut me.... it was my back. I expected pain in my abdominal area... and I expected pain in my right shoulder from the gas.... but it was the back pain that seriously almost sent me over the edge. After many pain killers it got better... did it go away...no... just got better. Now it is Friday... when I just had surgery on Tuesday and I'm still not doing great. Again.. it's not the pain from surgery... now it's the terrible pain in my chest and the terrible bloating a gas pain in my stomach. O' lordy I'm so hoping that I'm not going to end up with more troubles than I had before. Basically I feel the same as I did before... except for worse because they cut on me!!!! I sure hope it gets better in the next week or so! Anyway... that's all I know for now... I think I'm going to go lay down again!!!!!!
