It was the less invasive procedure that DocICU described and he may go home tomorrow or Thursday.

Will look to post pics of bladder as soon as I can in Esoteric
Holy shi t this wasnt fun. Best wishs with your recovery.

You know your getting better when you push the button for the nurse around midnight and say " I'm lonely "

Get well soon.

Well..if your avatar showed up at bedside it might...not sure if he's out or not, but he had a tough afternoon..Nothing serious, but he's ready to go and his body isn't.

Just an update as Bob has already mentioned all the well wishes, I can't wait to read them.

I have been discharged and I am home, hopefully about to get about 15 hours of sleep as I didn't get one red minute of sleep in the hospital.

While this was my first appearance at a hospital ever, lets hope that it is my last.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes, it is greatly appreciated.

FYI, if anyone is trying to call me, the hospital lost my cell phone, my IPOD and my favorite belt.

Good to hear your home kid, even if it comes at the expense of your phone, ipod, and the fave belt. At least they didnt get the chance to give you a 'wallet biopsy'.

In all seriousness, glad to hear all is well enough for you to be comfortable back in your own domain.

Tom, spoil yourself for at least three weeks. Let yourself be waited upon, cooked for, and sleep every moment you can get. Take all the pain meds allowed, you'll heal faster. You may be ready to go, but your body gets to recover from a major surgery. Glad you're okay!

I just read all the well wishes, really want to to thank everyone again. It is an amazing feeling to come back and read the comments and well wishes. Last night was the first night that I actually got some sleep but feeling pretty disoriented this morning, still catching my bearing. Think it might have to do with all the dilutad(?) that I was given to try and control the pain (up to 1.5mg every hour at one point and I was started at .5mg) Without a doubt, it was the most traumatic situation of my life and hopefully there is nothing more becuase not sure I can handle it. Timeline is on the way

Sorry it took so long to post my "Get well, best wishes". My wife is having her Gall Bladder removed on Oct. 15th. Any advice? I've already told her she has to arrange help for the 24-25 (BC and all).

Hey Scav...glad you pulled through...you should feel fine in no time...a friend of mine had her GB removed and felt normal after 2 or 3 days...don't be fooled though, even though you feel good DO NOT lift anything otherwise you'll open up...

Good Luck on the recovery...

the most important part of healing is plenty of rest, and that is the one thing you never get in a hospital. glad you're home!
