2 Days Post- Op

Well, I certainly do not regret having my gallbladder removed.

It turned out that is was VERY enlarged and had over 22 gallstones in it. That's what they could count anyway. Fortunately they did NOT have to do a large cut. I do have four holes in my abdomen however. But I am healing. I am very sore right now but I have been able to tolerate the pain for the most part. I am trying to not take too many of the pain meds, it is only Darvocet anyway and that doesn't do much for me.
On Monday & Tuesday some wonderful friends brought dinner for my family. I am so thankful for them. I have also had lots of e-mails, texts & calls checking on me. I feel so blessed to have so many people who pray for me and my family and help us in our times of need.
I did get out of the house today with my Honey. He took me to the grocery store and to pick up the girls from school. Judging by the way I feel now, I think I may have jumped the gun a little! But I will take it easy the next 2 days. I hope to be feeling a lot better by Saturday so that we can take the girls to the Poteet Strawberry Festival. We have never been, but have always wanted to!!

So, it's back up to bed for me.

Lord, thank you for a easy surgery and I pray for a speedy recovery. Thank you for my friends who have prayed for me and my family and brought us dinner. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. May we in turn bless someone else's life. Amen.
