Leaving lighter, left a gallbladder behind
Tony's gallbladder has officially left his body! We are hopeful that this is the answer for ANY and all future pancreatitis flare-ups. And, God-willing, keeps us out of the most sterile B&B in Oregon, OHSU. He's in quite a bit of pain, and keeping him "down" will be a full-time job for me, Nurse Nelson. Favorite question of the day that Tony asked his surgeon in pre-op: "What exactly do you mean by 'no twisting' after this? To which his surgeon replied: "I don't want you swinging rackets." Dr. Connelly and I are fast friends. Tony's down for the count for 3 weeks, with a 10lb. weight lifting maximum. Jesus be nigh. This gone-be tough. Pre-op SMILES. Before IV's and stabbing pain.
