Well the surgery went well yesterday. The Dr. had a couple of problems one was that the incision he made at my belly button was too small to take out my very large and full of stone gall bladder. So he had to make the incision bigger than normal to remove the gall bladd with out cutting it up. In the process of enlarging the incision he knicked his finger with the scalpel! Oh my. He said absolutely no blood of his got to me be my blood did get in his cut. So he asked me to consent to a HIV test. Of course. I told him he didn't need to spend a lot of time worrying about it but understood the protocol. He said he was't worried that I seem extremely low risk but it is something he has to do. Outside of that all was text book. I was out of recover in an hour and half and off to home.

When I got home I proceeded to lay on the couch a doze all afternoon. Girlchild cooked speghetti for the boys and made me chicken noodle soup. For not eating since 9:00 pm that night before I wasn't at all hungry but it did feel good to get something in my tummy. Even today I am not hungry. I think it is the pain pills that cause that.

I didn't sleep much last night. My kidneys and bladder decided to wake up from the anesthia (sp) I had to pee all night long :( Not to mention I could only sleep on my back cause it hurt to lay on either side :( I can not sleep on my back worth beans. Even with the pain meds all I could do is doze, once I start to dreft off a bit I had to pee.

This morning I feel a bit better than yesterday. My stomach is grossly swollen especially above the belly button. I have an icepack on it now. I will attempt to eat some oatbran cereal and take a small walk outside. Talking it all very slow for a couple of days.

Thanks to all who have prayed!!! I truely felt them and had a peace the entire time!!!
