OT: Had my first surgery today

[kc120us]

Hey everybody,

Had my first surgery today. For the past few months, I've been dealing with some stomach ailments (GERD, nausea, bloating,etc.) and it has made my summer miserable. Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with an abnormal gallbladder and today I had the thing removed. The procedure took about three hours and have been at the hospital since 10 this morning (paperwork, testing and, of course, waiting). It was the first surgery i have ever had. Needless to say, I was very nervous. Thankfully the procedure went smoothly and, despite being in some pain have started the recovery.

 

Despite having a fairly miserable summer, this board and the people on it have always provided a nice escape from the dreary reality. So I just wanted to say thanks to al those here.

Did they let you bring it home?

Glad you did well. A testament to modern pharmacology and medical technology (thumbs u that you are coherent just a few hours after your procedure.

Hey Casey,

 

My mother had hers taken out and she actually prior to the surgery had those pains for 2 years!

 

After she got it out, she was as good as new!

 

You'll be fine!

Get well.

 

BTW, what the heck are you doing posting when you should be in bed recovering.

[Jeffreykli]

Get well; take it easy for at least a week (I assume, since you're out already that it was a laproscopic procedure). Also, definitely follow what the doctors say and watch your diet.

OT Police? You obviously didn't spend any time on the boards today. I think they were all at Dunkin Donuts.

 

Get well soon!

Did you still make a days pay from work? Just wondering, thinking of your collection and all.

 

Seriously, I hope this cures the ailments the gallbladder was giving you Casey.

Must have been a pretty bad gallbladder if it took 3 hours...I hope you get well soon.

[comicgrinder]

Get well soon Casey.....
