Gallbladder Surgery

Wow, talk about have the rug pulled from under you! This whole surgery thing has been quite the experience. Truth be told I don't know how much I'm going to write now because I still feel extremely weak and still slightly nauseous. The holes in my belly are still very painful and I can't stand up straight yet, so Jeff and I have been joking about me looking like a haggard old lady, ahh except laughing hurts. I couldn't even fully appreciate my fav show last night, America's Funniest. Ohh well.

I've been trying to ween myself off T3's and I have only taken one today I was taking 2 every 4 hours on Friday and Saturday. I think that's what makes me nauseous though. I've taken Gravol, but it burns up my throat and makes me feel like crap. We've decided that I don't do anesthesia that well because I was throwing up after surgery and vomited on and off since the surgery and today, thankfuly I only had a few dry heaves this morning. Sorry for the details, but this is real life.

My wonderful, loving hubby is taking exremely good care of me, fetching me this and that, I even woke up out of a daze to find beautiful flowers on the table and a nice card. This has definately taken it's toll on me, but I'm strong and I need to remind myself to let me body rest. i try to do something as easy as take the laundry downstairs, but I get winded and dizzy. It's one more step that I need to take and that's what's important. After a few more days, this will just be a memory (oh and I think some scars to remind me) and I know that I can do anything through HIM who gives me strength.
