I had an emergency gall bladder removal ...Congrats!<br />I had an emergency gall bladder removal in June of 2004. I still have three scars: one in the navel, one right under the sternum, and a tiny one on the right side of my stomach. As one friend said after seeing the scars, "It looks like a cat walked across you while you were sunbathing."<br />I had my surgery on a Wednesday, just before the end of school, so, that following Monday, I had to drive out to school, do all my grades, and clean everything out of my classroom before I moved to Scotland for the next year. I remember having to be really, really careful lifting all that stuff in and out of my car trunk.<br />I also remember that the hardest part of all was getting out of bed because I couldn't sit up from a lying position. I settled on sliding out to my knees then standing up from there for a few days.<br /><br />Good luck as you heal up!A Paperback Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155962941590663738noreply@blogger.com
