Surgery

I went to my Surgery Consultation yesterday and met with Dr. Tittensor. She is awesome! I'm glad she'll be doing the surgery. She said the results from my HIDA scan concluded that my gallbladder is not functioning properly. I don't remember what the percentage stood for, but she said on average people are at 37% and I was at 12%. That's not good... So they have decided to remove my gallbladder and hopefully that will solve most of the problems I've been having. I sure hope it does! My Surgery date is Monday, August 11th. I'm not sure what time yet, but I'll be pretty out of it on Monday and probably Tuesday. It will be done laproscopic. They'll make 4 incisions in the right abdomen area. Fun huh!? I'm just looking forward to being out of pain. I'm sure I'll be fine. Drew is taking Monday off to be with me and take care of me. He's such a sweetheart. I am very lucky to have him!

Hey how are you feeling? How did your surgery go? Did you still work at RFP Depot when I had my gallbladder out? Since having mine out I haven't had any problems so I hope everything goes well.
