stress of surgery!

Well gang ~

If you haven't heard by now...I was feeling really nauseated, thought it was the flu, went to my doctor, who confirmed the flu but also sent me for an ultrasound (no, NOT hāpai)! They found a gall stone so big the gastroenterologist said, "you're going to the hospital right NOW."

I was so caught off guard that I had the worst anxiety attack EVER. I was in tears, especially since I knew Dad was on his way with my boys + I didn't want them to see me like that - they were already scared enough by the fact I had to have surgery! How totally messed up.

Anyway, I was supposed to stay two nights, which I wanted to do because I was still in so much pain. But then another nurse came in + said I had to go home. WHAT! Apparently she didn't get the memo that they just pulled my whole gall bladder out through my piko as opposed to just zapped a gall stone with a laser (which is an outpatient procedure)! So...there I was, kicked to the curb a mere 24 hours later.

I'm still on a mostly liquid diet; thank God for Jamba! Oh + hey, don't even get me started on having to take two weeks off from a job I just started! I love it + thank ke Akua every day that everyone is so wonderful. I hate that this had to happen right when I was getting into the swing of things there. *sigh*

My medication has kicked in again so it's la la nighty time for me...

Love you all, KKLL + mahalo for all your prayers!  *:)
