Hello Everyone 
I wanted to write you all as soon as I was able, to tell you how much I appreciate your love, prayers, concern, and correspondence with Jim and I this past week....it meant so much to me!
I am feeling so much better than I did 1 week ago today in the ER, and considering the circumstances of a dead gallbladder that was ready to burst, I thank the good Lord for letting me see more days to come!
Yes, I am still weak and a bit uncomfortable at times, but I am making steady progress in healing through Jim and Penny's (my Shih Tzu) loving care!
In another 1-2 weeks and I'll be good as new....just in time for Christmas!
I may not be able to be online for some days yet, but know I am thanking the Lord for you every day!
God bless your dear hearts for your prayers for my full recovery

Awww that's great news Gail...
You take it easy and allow your body the time to heal itself properly.
Great to see you back in here also. See you soon...
Great news Gail
Now take care - rest as much as you can and slowly mobilise.
I should have specified....'Penny' is our 'Shih Tzu'
Thank you all....Jim is making sure I take it easy....though that's not hard at this pointSo glad you are feeling better. Continue to heal & take care of yourself.

Until late Wednesday night (just coming on midnight)...NONE....except for fatigue in recent weeks with routine housework/activities and feeling 'winded' (short of breath) unrelated to my asthma.
Early Thursday AM I felt some indigestion and had a restless night, then by noon I had a gnawing pain/discomfort under my right rib and radiating to my back....all I could do was pace the house (could not sit or lie down).
I ALMOST did not go to the ER, because it seemed to ease a bit just as my doc called me back, but he INSISTED I get down there in case it was a kidney or heart issue as well.
Within the hour I was doubled over in pain and very nauseous

You would think that you would have had more issues than that before the onset of pain. How long did the doctor think your gall bladder had been like that?

He said 'for some time' to Jim post op; I will ask more specific questions on Monday at my follow up appt with him.Wow!

I was too sick when there with migraines, post op pain, and a med reaction to boot... to even think of asking him. :o

Well no doubt. When you are that sick you just want relief! I'm just curious how long someone can go with a dead gallbladder. I have never heard of it dying.
Will you ask for it so you can pickle it in a jar???
***I figured given our past conversations you'd get the joke***
