The surgery was successfully done laparoscopically yesterday morning. We were home by around 10:30 am and I spent most of the day drifting in and out of consciousness. I am in a fair deal of pain, even with my pain meds, but I figure that it can only get better from here. At least when this is all over I won't have gall attacks anymore and I can get on with life!
When I was a kid, I remember my Dad talking about surgery and how it is an assualt on the body. I am sure that surgeons are as respectful as possible to the patients, but WOW do I feel like I got the worst end of a tremendous fight. My stomach feels like it weighs 500 pounds and I have four incisions that take turns sending me stabbing pains. I can't stand up without Heath lifting me because I am not supposed to use my stomach muscles at all. I made the mistake of pulling on Heath to stand up last night and I know why I am not supposed to use those muscles now. PAINFULL!!
I think I may be being a bit of a baby because everyone I have spoken too has said that they felt better almost right away. I don't feel better yet at all.
I miss my babies. I know that there is no chance that I would be able to care for them in my current state, but I miss their sweet voices and smiles. I miss my hugs too.
Thank you to Heath for taking such good care of me! I love you!

I'm glad your surgery went well. It's at least a different pain, right? Sometimes a different pain is better than the same pain...worse or not. Does that make ANY sense?
I'm glad the surgery went well and that you are home. Which pain is worse? The attacks or the surgery? Get well quickly, so your babies can come home and help take care of mommy. -Luana
Glad you're doing better. The soreness of course will fade more everyday...and yes, it's good that the kids are not there...can you imagine Kalyn running and jumping right in the middle of your belly...OWWWWWWAH! It would be hard for them to remember about mommy's tummy. And you wouldn't be able to pick them up like they would want you to. Glad everything went well...never doubted it..the Lord is a great healer and lots of prayers were said...Love ya
