Post-Op

I had my post-op appt. today and found out what was so "nasty" about my gall bladder. Dr. Chu said because I was jso relaxed on surgery day she was not expecting anything big. When she got in there though my gall bladder was 3x the size she was expecting, thick, puss-y, and obviously infected. Normally they send it to the pathology lab and they run a few tests. Apparently the lab techs were intrigued and counted my gall stones. Drum roll please . . . . . . . over 60 ladies and gentlemen!!! I don't know if that's a record or not but it makes me proud:-) She said I have obviously been dealing with this problem a very long time.

Here's some things I know/found out:

*Vicodin makes me nauseous. Percocet makes me delirious and Lortab makes me vomit

*I will never be a drug addict

*I can go 4 days without eating, then vomit, then live off a sleeve of soda crackers for the next 3 days and still not lose a pound. This makes me angry inside and/or cursed

*my husband is a very good, strict caretaker/giver

*flushing the toilet requires a lot more abs than you think (in fact just about everything does)

*I never want to have a C-section

*I'm more addicted to vacuuming than I thought. I had to get my fix a few days after surgery

*My kids miss snuggling me and sitting on my lap. A. LOT.

*Don't watch funny shows like "Four Christmases" the day after abdominal surgery.
