Thank you to all who lifted up prayers on my behalf!  My surgery went perfectly.  I was able to have laproscoptic and go home three hours later.  The doctor said I had a non-functioning gall bladder.  It had a big stone blocking the canal and it did not have the normal fluids in it. It had a milky white substance around it and they are sending it to the lab. 

My sister and hubby took me to the hospital and prayed with me before going in. My sis went to get the kids and take care of them after I was in surgery. My parents came but they had gotten me in so quickly that I didn't get to see them until after surgery but they were a welcome site.  I rested there for a while and then felt good enough to head home. 

My sister babied me completely and I had no cares in the world while healing.  I don't know what I would have done during the day without her!  She and my hubby took care of everything.  I had wonderful friends who brought meals for the week so that was a welcome relief as well.  My first day after surgery I felt really good and got up and around but over did it a little.  The second day was a setback and I was in bed most of the day.  However, since that day I have felt better and better with each day that comes.  I am so excited because I am already starting to feel energy come back and that is a welcome feeling!  I am so thankful to the Lord for His kindness and mercy!  Thank you for your loving words and prayerful support!

I had my gall bladder out in September. It flared up when I was pregnant. Isn't it just the most painful thing you can imagine? The pain was so intense I could harldy breathe. That is probably familiar to you-- I haven't gone back and read your previous blogs. I just want to tell you what no one thought to tell me: cut WAY back on the sugar for a few weeks! It turns out that if your gall bladder problems are severe enough, it causes your pancreas to become inflammed also, and it can't produce insulin very well. My blood sugar was BEYOND through-the-roof for a few weeks, because in spite of having great doctors, no one told me that! Now my sugar levels are completely normal. You may have the same problem, so watch out! Hope you feel great soon! -HouseMouse

Glad to see you're doing so well. I know what you mean about knowing people are taking such great care of you. My husband has been wonderful and our Sunday School class has gone above and beyond. And it really has been a load off my mind. I had told them before the surgery that I really didn't feel like I needed much help. I must confess, I'm glad they didn't listen to me. lol
Take care and feel better! :)
