David, I wish you the best with your procedure tomorrow.
Let me dust off my Doctor's degree and share what I know. Of course you have already read and been told all of this, but if I can't do some doctoring they will revoke my license.
The liver makes bile. Bile is stored in the gallbladder. It aids the digestion of fats. When the gallbladder receives a signal that fat is entering the digestive tract, the gallbladder shoots bile into the tract. Without a gallbladder, bile trickles into the digestive tract on a more or less constant basis, and fat is still digested. Wheeew, now I have told more than I know.
True, it may not be so bad after a year, but it will be something that you will learn to live with. My wife has, and as I said, she is OK.
We will keep the light on for you.

Brian >> I dont remember the year. I just found one that has air ride. The air compressor was on the right finder under the hood. I will try and get a pic for you.
David I hope you get well soon. Terri text Norma and keeps us informed. Anything I can do, let me know. Knothole >> When I do this, this hurts. I know, dont do that. Thats what I know about being a doctor.

Oh I'm sure I'll do fine... The Murphy factor after my initial trip to the hospital has been a bit nagging though. Pancreatitis doesn't nearly kill most folks, followed by deep vein thrombosis & the rat poison treatment that made the ole' brain bleed. So needless to say, surgery that some folks say the doc can practically sleep through, (and NOBODY will give me odds that taking out my GB will stop another attack) has left me a bit skeptical & a tad bothered...
Lynn, thanks for your synopsis. I've been pretty educated on the physiological aspects via pamphlets, web & numerous docs for the past couple of months.
At any rate, it is the shortest day of the year at least. Being over the hump will be a boon. I'm pretty sure I'll make it home this afternoon with no complications.
Talk to ya'll later.

Well well well....
I had no idea that Mike Tyson worked for Baptist Health Systems. Damned if that SOB didn't come in and work my torso over while I was passed out. Sumbitch stabbed me four times too. And I only had to wait 4-1/2 hours in a freezing-*** cubicle wearing a table cloth for the privilege of having it done.
Ow. I hurt. It be nice to eat, but my throat don't work to well.

O heck Thomas, them sun's of a gun pushed my happy lil' butt right on out the door as fast as they legally could yesterday. Thanks for the offer, but Terri is making a few grocery items and a couple of gift card purchases today & that'll be pretty much on leaving the house till the 26th.
Stacy, don't burn nuthin' down with them turkeys & if you do, make sure ya'll take a bunch of pictures.
Now wheres' that bottle of Demerol?
