GUTTED

So... Last Wednesday, October 27, I was GUTTED...

I had surgery to remove both my gallbladder and my appendix.

They both had STONES in them.

Recovery is going well. I have been doing my best to get up and be moving... which has helped. I still feel like someone picked me up and shook me as hard as they could, displacing all my organs...and I guess removing some too! I have 7 holes in my abdomen...

I have been SO LUCKY to have such AMAZING people around that care SO MUCH! My Mom stayed by my side practically from 6:30 Wednesday morning until 6:30 Saturday night. She was the one who made sure I got up and moved, and took my pain meds (which I HATE)... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I have also had so many people call and check on my, come visit, bring dinner, and their babies to make me smile! 

All in all, surgery sucks... but I have people around who make it ok!

THANK YOU!
