Hi stringer, how are you?!!! Haven't talked to you in forever.

Normally I'd say I'm doing good LOL...
But if I did that now, it would be a big fat lie.
Found out I have to have surgery to remove my gallbladder today...
I have no health insurance...that sux! but it has to come out...
Sorry I don't mean to complain.
I could look on the bright side...at least I know whats been causing all my discomfort for the last 3 months...

I am glad that you finally found out what was going on and what needs to happen to get some relief. Best wishes to you Ak.

Hi there! Sorry you have to have your gallbladder out. It is good that recovery time is fairly quick and the procedure is much less invasive than it use to be. I don't mean to say it is a "Walk in the Park" by any means and I don't take it lightly but I had mine out awhile back. I was relived to get it done! I just know you will be glad when it is over. I sure was. I will be thinking about you and sending "healing" thoughts your way and a prayer will be lifted up in your behalf for quick recovery!

albear

so this is where we all are, hi guys
AK sorry to hear you have to go to surgery, i hope all goes well for ya

AKaeTrue

Thank you so much.
I feel the same way as you do actually, I just get anxious very easily lol..
From what they've explained to me so far about the surgery,
it sounds like the pain I'm having now is actually worse than the pain from surgery. I will be so relieved to have it done.
I've had 2 c-sections and bounced back no problem (well considering)...not making light on the situation either, but I was hoping that it would be a walk in the park lol.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and sharing your experience, it gives me reassurance

Hi Bear!!! Long time!!! How have you been?!!
It will all go well, I know it will.
My wallet will be feeling the pain LOL but I will definitely be feeling better.
They gave me some nice meds to get me through the weekend too, so all is good

albear

it'll all be worth it in the end

AKaeTrue

Good night

Chery

AK, hope all goes well and that you get well soon. Glad you made it here.

Albear, I knew you'd find us without problems, you just have 'good radar' to lead you to the right places.

Good Morning AMHD Family.. how are ya doin this fine morning? I had some plans today, but a bout of sciatic nerve ache just put a crimp in them all. Oh well, can't expect every day to be super, so I'll rest in bed with my cat and use an ice-pack.

Has anyone seen J_9 lately? I think it's time for her to show up here, since all her exam time is done and she is now our very own Nurse!

Alty, your username gave me the hint that you have a german background..say hi to your family over here for me when you chat with them next time.

Have a great weekend, all!

Hi all, good morning. It's supposed to be 30 degrees Celsius today, that's 86 degrees fahrenheit, wow!

Chery, ya, the name does give it away doesn't it? My moms entire family is still in Germany and it's a big family. My mom was one of 11 kids, 8 are still living, they have kids and those kids now have kids too. I was there last in 2001 with my husband, son and mother. My mom died 3 days after we arrived in Germany, she never did get to see everyone, which was her final wish, it still haunts me that it didn't happen. I would like to go for another visit next year, it's just so expensive for 4 people to travel there, then we'd have to rent a car etc. I do want very badly to make it happen, I miss my family there so much, and I miss Germany.

AK, I'm so sorry that you have to have surgery, I'm sure that you will feel better once it is done, my Aunt is going through the same thing right now, she gets her gallbladder removed next week, they have to wait because she had shingles two weeks ago. I'll be thinking about you and sending good thoughts and wishes your way. Take care.

I hope everyone else is doing great and has a wonderful day.
