I'm going to the hospital in the morning to have my gall bladder removed. Besides the C-section I had when my daughter was born 15 years ago, this will be the only surgery I've had. I was awake for the C-section, but I guess I was put under to have my wisdom teeth yanked. It doesn't seem the same.
The procedure is laparascopic, so I'll go home tomorrow a few hours after the surgery which seems odd to me. There is a 5% chance that once they've started the laparascopic procedure that they'll decide they need to do the old-school "open" style surgery. If that happens, I stay in the hospital for 2 days and will have a 6-week recovery time. This couldn't be happening at a worse time as far as work is concerned, so I'd better not end up with a 6-week recovery time.
I'll have to keep you updated. :)
