Surgery


So life has been a little crazy lately. The day Caleb and his buddies were supposed to go down to Green River for a river trip with my family, I was having a galbladder attack. Yes, a darn galbladder attack! The pain was in my upper stomach and radiating on both sides of my back, so we headed into the instacare. Thank goodness for pain and anti-nausea meds or I would have died, or so I thought. After visiting the instacare I had an ultrasound and found out I had a galstone lodged in the neck of my galbladder. Of course this happened on a Friday so I ate zero fat the whole weekend, which was not fun, to avoid having another attack. Monday, after being popsicled-out, I visited the surgeon and he told me to eat normal before I had my surgery on Thursday. My wonderful Mom drove up and stayed with me the whole week and watched Finn while Caleb and I were at the hospital yesterday. The operation went good and I guess my galbladder had signs of chronic and acute infection, which was scary, so the doc put me on an antibiotic. I think the only thing I liked about getting my galbladder out was the anesthetic. It felt amazing and I know how people get addicted. Today I am just taking it easy and letting Caleb take care of me. He's a wonderful husband and Dad. And not to mention, my little boy has been so good which has made this process so much less stressful. I love you, Caleb, and I love you Finn! Thank you family and friends for your thoughts and prayers.
