Pain

Yup thats what happens when you let someone stick rods in you and muck about and grab your gall bladder and tug it through a small hole.   I just wanted everyone to know that the surgery went well. No unforeseen problems. So I am officially gall bladder -less. I don't think my body got the memo though, cause it feels like a gall bladder attack. Thats the bad news. The good news is that I can get in a comfortable position and then there isn't any pain. Not possible with a bonafide gall bladder attack.
I am on pain meds they are working ok except when I move. I have to move to get well. Im working it out. I hug a pillow to my gut when Im getting up or down... seems to work. I had a walk around the house and felt better for it. Im sure that those of you who have been down this road can relate.
I won't be taking phone calls for a while. So check in here. Emails always welcome. I love to know you are thinking about me.
When they wheeled me into the OR I had a flashback of going with Dad into the OR when I was 13. I got kind of teary just thinking about him. I think he was looking over the Doc's shoulder. 
Just three months ago I was in the OR with Katie when she had complications from Oliver's delivery. I think thats enough of OR's for a while. 
Im glad Dad took me there when I was a girl. Because I had no fear, Just a sense of trust that I was safe. I was very well cared for throughout.
