Get well soon Alix!
Oh my gosh, didn't know. I hope she is doing okay, I understand a person feels new again when gallbladder stuff is fixed. My MIL was a new person.Hi Folks!
If any are wondering about where Alix has been lately, she's home recovering from her gall bladder surgery yesterday (Wed.) while I attempt to attend to her every wish to make her comfortable. (As per ususal.).
She's a little sore, but is doing well...and I'm sure she'll be back her posting like crazy in no time.
I'm doing just fine and would have been on here sooner but I was still a little dopey from the anaesthetic. I didn't want to post anything too weird.
I agree! It's funny, sometimes we don't know why we have a certain part, so we assume it has no function. Even doctors said the appendix was an unnecessary part. Recently, though, they have discovered its purpose. I will have to see if I can find the article I read about it. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with the immune system. According to the article, the reason so many people in the U.S. and other developed countries have to have theirs removed is that we are so clean (over-all) and the appendix doesn't have to work very hard. In countries where sanitation isn't so developed, they don't have a lot of appendectomies.Alix said:I don't think you should consider having anything removed just so it won't bug you later. Keep what you have as long as you can!
Alix, you must be feeling pretty good to get up for the computer! You sound like yourself, not really complaining too much. Except worse than labor? that sure doesn't sound good. Everything else was tolerable, that is good. Well, now you know what it is like and when it is my turn I will want you to be by the computer to tell me what to do next. No water break though did it? Not many in my family have had gall bladder removed that I know of. Only appendix but since i still have mine maybe the sanitation in my house isn't the best. Someone said undeveloped countries have no appendectomies. Well, they at least got something the is good. Maybe since doesn't have best hospitalization no one knows what is going on. I just will have to wait my turn and hope I am not one of those who has to wait in ER forever. Did you Alix? Or did they take you right away? Boy, do I have my imagination going.
Thank you so much for your time Alix and tell Ken to stay close. Can you eat soup? Crackers?
elfie and gb are starting to draw up their plans for world domination again.
but I was still a little dopey from the anaesthetic.
I am sure you and the girls are treating her like a queen right now .
Big hugs to Alix for me, Ken?
And, a big thank you for taking care of one of our most special family members!
