Surgery Next Month

[Janet]

Linda, I'm so glad Gary is so attentive and eager to help you. I know you told me when you were having the xrays, but will you tell me again please, and when are you suppose to get the blood test results?....I told you I just can't keep things in this old brain anymore.

Linda, I'm so sorry that you're going through all of this. You're in my prayers and my thoughts.

Ok More Updates on the Update.
Wednesday I went to see my female surgeon about my hysto. I am suppose to go back to her on the 12th to talk about my female surgery and set a date.
Yesterday I had a HIDA Scan done. That was interesting. My family doctor called me last night to tell me that I need Gall Bladder Surgery. My gall bladder function is at 11%. I had been having these pains on my right side under my ribs. Now I know why. So I go see another surgeon for that on the 9th. Then will schudule
surgery for that maybe Wednesday of next week. Will have to wait and see what he says. This age thing really sucks............But I want to get my gall bladder taken care of because my mom died of cancer of the gallbladder and liver.
I just hope its not cancer. To much of that going around. So thats the news for now. Thanks to all of you for your prayers. I will update more later as I find out.

Hey girlfriend!!! Gallbladder surgery isn't so bad...they poked 3 holes in me and it was out...LOL. The only negative I've found is some foods will go right through me....hate that. Wasn't long to recover either. I hope it goes as well for you as it did for me....no problems.

My hysterectomy was a little different though, I was in the hospital for 4 days and then bedrest for 2 weeks. They also took a tumor the size of a small watermellon out, but I did what the Drs. said and I was fine.

That's a big thing Linda...don't do anything you're not really suppose to after surgery. That way it 'won't come back on you.'

As always...wishing you the best.

Thanks Janet,
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. LOL
Thanks again.

I'm ditto to Janet. Gallbladder was a breeze - day surgery on Friday, back to work on Tuesday and food digestion is weird. Hysterectomy was the pitts, but mine was 21 years ago (bikini cut), so it might be easier now.

Relax and get it over with. My thoughts are with you. Keep updating!

I didn't realize that you were having female problems too. You're really taking a hit from all sides. I'll keep praying! Keep us posted.
