Today's the day, ugh! I finally made it in to see the surgeon a whole 1/2 early yesterday and miracles never ceasing, there was no wait! After I filled out the paper work, I was whisked into an exam and room and before I could read his diploma on the wall, he was in there! Wow!My gallbladder only functions at 23% so out it comes. I really like this fella, he even held up a chart to my chest, so I could see where the gallbladder is and exactly where he would be putting the holes in to remove it! Again, wow!
Does that make it any better? Nope, still scared to death, but that's me. After his exam I was taken to another office to schedule the surgery, and she sheepishly smiled and asked is tomorrow good? Trust me, I was frantically scanning my brain for any important to-do's on my list, and could not find any that would justify to my Hubby for saying no, so I reluctantly happily took it. So today, is the day, that I will part with an organ. This has hardly given me anytime to google possible complications and such horror stories that I am so drawn to!
The doctor will be adding the impressive zero's to his portfolio around 1 pm today. I will update you tonight, maybe, good chance it will be tomorrow. If you are on pins and needles, my sis-in-law Jenny, I'm sure will update on her blog, on my traumatic experience. Trust me anytime I am involved in a hospital setting, it's usually tragic, mostly for the staff!

I will be praying for a successful procedure and a speedy recovery! I have had multiple surgeries in my life time and I know how stressful and unsettling they can be. The mind goes places it should not go in the hours leading up to a procedure, however it is a wonderful praise that we live in a county with state of the art medical technology and highly trained medical professionals.
It also helps to like your surgeon, that huge!
Blessings
