Hi.

I'm glad that your docs are giving you a good tune-up, @Brokenfriend. My experience with gall stones is that if you have them, you would know it. I experienced some of the worst pain in my life when I had gallstones.

Hi friend,
We just got back from our annual trip to the beach.
I have not been on line since we just got back.
I am sorry they are making you jump through hoops to get your surgery done. now the gall stones. What will be next?
love,
bizi

It's good that they're being thorough with your care. Better to catch things before they become a problem, especially during or after surgery.

You might not need surgery for you gallbladder, they may be able to remove the gall stone. You'll get a general anesthetic for the procedure but it's a fast procedure that only takes 15 min or so. When I had it done I was able to walk afterwards.

You're in good hands, bf.

My daughters m-I-l had both knees replaced. At different times, but she was sent home after both surgeries and after her second one was up and on her own caring for her bedridden daughter. So I think knee surgery isn’t something they send you to rehabilitation for but just have outpatient pt appointments. I was very shocked to hear that. But she had hers done by the Mayo Clinic so maybe that the routine.
