So, that’s doctor speak for a gall bladder remove by keyhole surgery by the way.
I found myself in hospital three weeks ago for emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder. I’d been suffering intermittently – but with increasing frequency – with crippling stomach pain over the previous 8 months and it came to a head one weekend when the pain simply didn’t go away. I’d describe it as being kicked solidly in the liver.
So, laparoscopic cholcystecomy it was. Except my IV was blocked and I woke up to no pain relief at all. I screamed the house down! Anyway, fast forward to now. I’m feeling great, the scars have healed, and I’m eating “properly”. By which I mean I can scoff without the risk of pain.
The only snag now is, during the ultrasound they found more kidney stones which are now sat inside me, waiting to cause untold disruption. FML.
