I love your avi by the way
And I think it's the holiday season it brings out everyones crazyness XD
Why did your husband need surgery? Is everything okay?
Thanks! I changed in an attempt to match the header....
Wellll...last week, he lifted quite a few (30 or so) cinder blocks for a small but necessary house repair....so we weren't surprised when his back hurt a bit...then he started feeling discomfort in his gut--not particularly sharp, but all over his abdomen...it got worse. By the 4th day he'd not gone to the bathroom for #2 (so to speak) we thought he was just suffering a bit of constipation...which certainly isn't anything beyond the ordinary, or to be particularly concerned about...my Mom and I both have suffered some pretty darned awful alimentary circumstances....so I was a bit perturbed when he went to an urgent care, and wanted to follow their advice and have me drive him down to the ER....I thought he was....well...being a little wimpy.....which MANY men are when it comes to pain....I was wrong.
stressed
Turns out his gall bladder was infected. Evidently quite infected. He was very fortunate that the doctor was able to perform the surgery laproscopically. I've been 'under the knife' plenty of times...with 2 C-sections, 3 d&c's and one d&e, plus a kidney procedure as well as my gall bladder out--but this is the only surgery he's ever had....I swear, I'd almost rather be on the other side. It would be one thing if I could stay down there with him--but I can't! My Mom needs help, my kids need carting around--and there's no one else who can DO it.
cry But being away is damned stressful!!
