Tuesday I wasn't having the best luck with locking me out and stuff, and the night didn't disappoint. I woke up at 1:30am having an "episode" as I like to call it. When my gallbladder flares up I receive heart attack like symptoms. It really sucks and it hurts like crazy. Well this time I was also hit with major nausea. Needless to say, I didn't sleep real well that night. When we left to go to the hospital at 11:30, I was still in pain and couldn't wait to get the stupid, irritating thing out of my body. My doctor was amazing and was able to do it with one small incision. A TINY incision. In my belly button. You can barely see it. Although you can see the swelling and bruising. :) It took a little longer than they said, but that was because he was doing it with one incision and because it was inflamed. I was planning on being home around 4 or so, but nope. I didn't even wake up until 5:30. The nurse kept saying that I must be really tired because I just slept and slept. I finally left around 7.
*I want to thank all of you for your well wishes. I'm grateful to all of you.
*Morgan, Thank you for taking the girls. I am extremely grateful to have you as my baby sister. I hope you had a fun time with them. I love you.
*Shai, Thanks for playing with them and letting them make a mess of your house. They love going to your house. I love you and I'm so glad that we are as close as we are!
*Dad, Thanks for driving them to St. George. I would have loved to be in the backseat of that car ride. You are awesome and I love you so much. Thanks for EVERYTHING!
*Brandy, You are so amazing. Thank you so very much for taking care of me and for waiting way longer than expected. I'm so glad that we live so close and we can get to know each other better. I love you.
I'm doing well. It is amazing how almost everything you do involves your abs. Kinda hurts to move around. I'm glad that it isn't the longest recovery time.
Ali- It hurts, but I'm all for this hurt for a short time if that means that I don't have to deal with the episodes that I was getting. Plus I can eat whatever I want now! :)

I´m so glad to hear that you´re ok and that you won´t have to put up with the "episodes" anymore! Yay!
I still get them once in a while and they do hurt like crazy, that´s for sure.
Eating whatever I want...
What are you gonna eat first (that you couldn´t before)?
I should start making a list of yummy things I´ll be able to eat afterwards and see if that gives me the courage to step back into a hospital!
I have found that I can not take Percocet. It gives me very bad images and doesn't let me sleep. That sucks very bad. Maybe I can get my doc to prescribe some Lortab instead.
I haven't eaten cereal for over two years. It isn't anything big or fancy, but it will be nice to just have something fast for breakfast every once in awhile.
Lortab gave me a horrible stomach ache at first, but now it's just fine. I've never tried Percocet, so I can't compare. I'm sure your doctor can switch it if Percocet is so horrible for you!
And yay for cereal!
I'm so glad you are doing good. I also have had those same problems. They make you feel like death is looming. It sucks. I hate Percocet also, I dont react to it well at all. Happy recovery. It is great to have family you can depend on!!!
SO glad to hear you are ok!! Rest up!
Glad your feeling better1
