Successful Surgery

I am now coherent enough to let everyone know that I’ve come through the surgery okay. I’m not coherent enough to write yet, alas. You would not believe the combing I’m doing for typos in this short entry.

The operation was successful. Slowly but steadily I have been getting my mobility and my alacrity back. The fly in the ointment is that I have had an allergic reaction to the medicine they spread on my belly after the operation, so when my spouse returns home, I’ll be on both pain pills and benadryl for a bit.

Oh yeah. That’ll be good for editing. Sure. :)

But we’ll give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes. Today I think we’re just going to keep sleeping and relaxing and recuperating.

My stomach looks like a warzone. In spite of what they tell you, never take the bandages off.

Looking forward to getting back into some regular writing routine. At least there’s a finite end to this in site.

Hope you are all well.

Catherine

Glad to hear that things went well - take it easy and don't try too much too fast. Am sending Dr. Mickey to deal with your allergic reaction.

*gentle hug*

Congratulations on a successful gallbladder eviction!

The fly in the ointment is that I have had an allergic reaction to the medicine they spread on my belly after the operation...

That's just the mandatory surgical complicaztion. Everyone needs to have at least one. You got lucky and were assigned a minor (though irritating) one.
