I had the nicest nurse yesterday. Her name was Nancy and she helped me through the process all the way. Ed was there too, but Nancy kept us both calm and assured us that everything was going fine. I had a little trouble with the woozy urpy feelings as I came out from under anesthesia, but Nancy was right there being SO supportive.
Spent today quietly at home. Trying to move about a bit more as evening comes on. It's been a long day. The only downside of this... losing a gall bladder didn't cost me a single ounce on the scale! How unfair is that? LOL Guess that's the way it goes.. you win some, you lose some... and this was one little green balloon I was HAPPY to lose!

Phew! Glad that's over with! It's totally an outpatient procedure now? Wow. When I last worked as a nurse in a hospital, people still stayed overnight, but went home in the morning.
Auf wiedersehen is the part you couldn't remember.
I hope you have fun on your Italy trip now!
Thanks for the help on the German... I knew the word but would have butchered it up trying to spell it! LOL.
I was also pretty amazed that I would be going home by the afternoon of my surgery! When my mom had hers out in the 70's it meant a 3-6 day hospital stay! Now it's 4 small keyhole incisions and a little superglue to put you back together again!
