Attack of the Killer Gallbladder..... Continued......

After an initial attack in April and no real resolution comes the mother of all attackes about 2 weeks ago.... Long story short..... went to emerg in extreme pain, the covered it up, sent me home, went back later that night cuz I coulnd't stand the pain, got admitted (fri Sept 26?) Kept me on antibiotics etc... finally did surgury on Monday night, Things didn't get better, continued to leak internally, something wasn't healling. went for a scope and stent put in the following week, that worked and things started to get better. Finally released on Thanks Giving Sunday over two weeks total in hosptial.

Lessons learned...
There is so much to be thankful for in life,
God is there for us in the easy and hard times,
while our health care system has it's faults it was there for me,
The nurses on the 4th floor of the Woodstock general hospital do an awesome job, (thanks ladies and gentlemen)
and much much more.....


Family thinks I'm crazy, but some pics were taken during this ordeal, not that I remember much of it!
