Good morning everyone.
Thanks for the links Molly, great as usual.
Had my gallbladder out yesterday. Doing ok today. (whew)
Prayers for all in need. Be back later.
Thank goodness! You take care, and prayers for a smooth recovery, kassie.
Don’t bend over. That made me very uncomfortable after my surgery.
Since I posted here this AM, I have bagged all the trash and put it on the street, emptied all the wastebaskets in the house and put that in the bin, grabbed up all the already pulled weeds and put those on the street and gathered all the aluminum cans, located the recycle bin, put the two together and put that on the street. The garbage people collect today sometime between 0600 and 1200. I can’t put trash on the street the night before because people come around, open trash bags and go through the trash and LEAVE IT STREWN ALL OVER. THE GARBAGE PEOPLE DON’T CLEAN THAT UP AND YOU’RE LEFT WITH IT FOR ANOTHER WEEK.
And I’ve dryed and folded some laundry.
Watering has commenced and will end about 0930.
I am through with that sort of work until late this afternoon. I’m now turning my attention to crafty, low-energy type of activities.
I’m still avoiding the media.
kassie, I’m glad to read you are up and posting after the surgery. Follow doctor’s orders (I know you are) and you’ll be fine.
Cholycystectomy (GB removal) used to involve a 5-6 inch incision, a drain, twice daily dressing changes and a week in the hospital before one was released to recuperate and heal at home for the rest of the month.
I tried to google an image for a scultetus binder, a multi-tailed wrapping that we applied to post-surgical gall bladder patients, but wasn’t able to find exactly what I was looking to post. It extended from hips to breast line and offered support for the incision and abdominal area, which the patients almost always appreciated.
I haven’t seen that contraption for years and years, there’s probably little to no use for them anymore. I’m showing my age to remember using such an item.
Thank goodness endoscopic surgery has made that whole procedure a LOT less invasive and much easier to recover from.
We should start a club!
Get well soon.
Oh, how times change, kassie. I had mine out in 1981, I have a lovely scar. No drain tubes though, thank goodness, not like the ones we used when I was in the business. Just take care, now and don’t overdue, like you usually do. Let someone wait on you for the next few days. So happy you will no longer be bothered with discomfort you have been having.
