Update: Gallbladder Surgery Mission Accomplished!

So I am back home, in my cozy bed, with my Pacific Coast pillows, featherbed and sheets! It is amazing how you can wake up one morning, go to the Day Surgery part of the hospital, where they knock you out, take body parts out and send you home within hours. Surgery was at 1pm sharp and I was home by 5 pm!

So, how did it go? I have to admit I was nervous as heck. I guess the hardest part of getting the IV. Then wisking me away down the long hall to a room that had more computers, lights and metal objects than I have ever seen.

So next thing I know, they put an oxygen mask on me, and some medicine in the IV and next thing I know I am waking up in a room with other patients that had surgery and I was then in PAIN! I do not know how long I was in that room until they rolled me back into a recovery room where my hubby, mom, dad and Braddock were waiting on me.

I then had all kinds of back pain, etc.. I was like really did they take my gallbladder out, because I thought I was going through labor. So, I get to go home, and sleep in peace in quite. Dearest hubby has takin' great care of me, and my older boys have been great help. My sweet mom has Braddock, I will get him back today sometime (don't worry I am not driving!)

I might not be shopping anytime soon or cooking, but I will be a bloggin' Thanks for all your prayers, comments and thoughts!

Had my gall bladder out Feb. 10. Took a little while to get a little energy going, but I now feel better than I had in years. Hope all is well with you.
