Surgery

Well.....last friday they took out the old galbladder had stones in it and so far so good. Four little holes on the stomach and the muscles are sore but that's pertty much it. So I'm just kicking back for a few days.

I wish you a speedy recovery, Bors. What does a gall bladder do anyway? Will you have no gall left?

Well Bors take it easy for a few days and get better soon.

Glad to hear that the surgery wasn't too invasive and that your on the mend. Take it easy and enjoy the break... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Glad to here you are doing well Bors. Take things slow and easy. You will be 100% in no time!

That's good news Mike! I wish you a speedy recovery, now that you're "new and improved"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Did they give you the bladder to keep? Maybe you could make the stones into decorations for a knife lanyard.

Hope you're better soon, Bors.

A speedy recovery Bors. I hope you feel better and never go back there! Now get your wife one of them classic nurse's outfits and.... never mind you gotta rest <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Everything will be good to go in short order. Glad to hear all went well. That sort of stuff is a bit scarry.

My wife had hers removed a few years ago. You should be up and running again in no time.

Hello Bors. Glad to hear your surgery is behind you. Was it done on an out patient basis?

I had mine out a couple of years ago. Don't let HD's question scare you. You'll still have gaul. You see, the body just asigns gall production to another part of the body. I gave my old bladder to the surgeon and he wears it as a hat.

All the best to you young lad.

Thanks everyone. Actually today I'm doing very good. Most of the soreness is gone.

Glad to hear you are doing well Bors!

Sounds like as good a time as any for a new knife to appear since you are just relaxing online anyway! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'm very glad you are doing well, Bors. Please excuse me for asking a stupid question, but I really don't know what a galbladder does. I know a fellow who had his galbladder removed and he was back to work pretty quickly. Sounds like you are doing well.

he's a survivalist, he just wants to know if they make good eats! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Vic it's not a stupid question at all.

It stores and reduces bile from the liver then it secretes it into the duodenum when fatty food enters the intestine. When the bile is over processed it can lead to stones (this is what I had). These can block the plumbing resulting in major discomfort.

The wiki link bld522 gives explains it in a lot more detail.

Yep....... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It's a good time to do a little reloading.

Glad everything is going well. Enjoy the rest and have a speedy recovery

Speedy Recovery

Congrats Bors! I hope your recovery is fast! Glad you are doing well!!!

I wish you a speedy recovery!

Bors - I'm kinda late here - but I hope you're back and on your feet at this point. Glad to hear that everything went well.

I have a hernia repair once, and it took quite a while to get back to my extra curricular activities.

I hope yours are going well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You're the man!!

I was back to work on monday so far so good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

glad to hear it

Jeepers Bors,

I am glad it went so well... I hear that Gall Stones can be quite painful... as well as kidney stones.

Me I'll stick with the Rolling Stones, they sometimes hurt but I just change the track and it's all better... no surgery.

I have had enough of doctors to last forever Bors and the thought of painful stones really sucks. Thank God all is well and you are safe and sound at home waiting for the next Yard blade to be released.

Peace.

WOW, back to work already...you are one tough Dog. I am glad to hear you are doing well.

Dan
