Surgery

So you guys remember that optical migraine I had a couple of months ago? Apparently, that was the onset of gallbladder problems for me. Yeah. I know. Seems totally unrelated to me too. None the less its what started my being sick. I've had nausea, a slight pain in my upper stomach area, and dizziness for the last two and a half months off and on. They tried some medicine to fix it because I had a severely irritated stomach lining too so they thought that might be the issue. Those didn't work so the next option is to take out my gall bladder. This is not an open surgery where they cut a huge gash in your stomach. This is going to be a laproscopic surgery with just a few small cuts and they take the gall bladder out through your belly button (basically). Recovery is a few days instead of weeks and it doesn't even require a hospital stay. Though I am having it in the hospital because I need a platelet transfusion before they can actually do surgery (meaning we have to be there at 6am - Chris won't be thrilled with that because I told him 830am before). This is the same way they did my appendix a few years ago to. I'm glad they did away with the open surgery business (when they can) because I can't imagine having two huge gashes across my stomach. Nor can I imagine the healing time for either surgery that way. How long does a c-section take to heal? The appendix scars are so tiny you can barely see them now.

Surgery is tomorrow morning. I've got a plain sock ready for two hours of platelet loading. If I can't post anything tomorrow night I'll make sure that Chris does.
