Tomorrow's the day, my dear friends......for my choleycystectomy...And for vibes, if you will...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I will be so glad to have this over and done with!

Hopefully it will remain day surgery; I really want to get home, to my own computer and bed.

7:30 a.m. at the hospital; 9:30 a.m. for the surgery to start. They have 90 minutes allotted. Then an hour or two in recovery...

Then hopefully, home.

I thank all of you for standing by me...

[Scuba]

1. Luck and vibes to you, Peggy. We all love ya!!!!!!!!!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I'm looking forward to my posts post surgery too...

Thanks, sweetie...

[SalviaBlue]

11. Hi Peggy. I had this done about ten years ago.

It was pretty easy. I hope yours is too.

No more gallstones was the best part!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear SalviaBlue...

So good to hear from someone who's been there! I am really looking forward to not worrying about another gall bladder attack...

Thank you!

[MindMover]

28. If it is this procedure, you should be out tomorrow ...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. That is the procedure, my dear MindMover!

I don't know if those instruments are the ones my surgeon will use, but it will be something like that.

I should go home tomorrow, if all goes as planned.

Thanks for the video--it was fascinating.

[MindMover]

38. You are fascinating ... and thanks for all your positive vibes ...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Ah, thank you, my dear kcass1954...

I will post as soon as I am able.

[HeiressofBickworth]

40. Tomorrow night you'll be home, snug in your bed

wondering what all the fuss was about. Take drugs if you need them. Don't over-do just because you feel pretty good. After all, it is surgery and they'll be messing with your innards. We'll all be watching for your return.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear HeiressofBickworth...

How much I hope you're right!

That is an outcome devoutly to be wished for...

I'm not afraid to take narcotics. They work.

I'll be back, and thank you so much!

[mysuzuki2]

42. I don't envy you but I'm sure it will go fine.

just get up early, have a couple of Irish coffees, eat a few eggs, sausages and pancakes and hope for the best! Seriously, all kidding aside in a few days you will feel great!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. You made me laugh, my dear mysuzuki2!

I might do that in a few days, lol!

Thank you so much...

[westerebus]

43. All the best wishes and a speedy recovery.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Thank you for your good thoughts, my dear westerebus!

[mnhtnbb]

46. Wishing you a speedy recovery from your procedure. And as others have said...

don't be afraid to take some pain meds--and get them on board BEFORE you need them!

Hugs...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. Yes, Ma'am! my dear mnhtnbb!

Hopefully I won't need much...

Thanks, sweetie...

[TBF]

[Honeycombe8]

52. I don't know what that is, but it sounds serious. Hugs and vibes to you!!!

[Major Nikon]

54. Gallbladder goes bye-bye

The gallbladder is a small sock that stores digestive fluids from the liver and connects to the small intestines. It's most commonly removed due to complications from gall stones. When they remove it, the digestive fluids go directly to the small intestines, and most people adapt to not having one, although digestive problems sometimes haunt some people who have it removed, it's still better than the alternative which is living with gall bladder attacks which can be extremely painful.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

67. My dear Honeycombe8!

I appreciate your good wishes a lot!

And I appreciate Major Nikon's explanation of what's happening, too.

[HarveyDarkey]

53. Best of luck

our thoughts are with you

That was my thought too...The year of the surgeon for me. Ah well...At least things are getting fixed.

Thanks for the good vibes.

[vanlassie]

68. No Worries CalPeg!

Best Wishes!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

78. Thank you, my dear vanlassie...

I will be fine, tomorrow...I'm normally pretty calm during these events.

[cbrer]

79. You GOT this Miss Peggy

If there is ANY truth at all to the notion that any sort of thought, prayer, meditation, or spiritual deliberation carries any influence whether singularly, or collectively, then you are made in the shade!

***************GOODVIBES**************

81. Thank you, my dear cbrer!

I'm with you on this.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

84. Thank you, my dear TuxedoKat...

Thanks for the good thoughts and the HUGS!

[WCGreen]

85. I hate that they start EVERYTHING so early in the hospital....

What if you aren't a morning person, I tell you...

I hope everything goes well for you...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

87. I actually prefer having it early...

And I'm not a morning person!

I understand that the OR crews and doctors are hopefully well rested at that hour...

Thanks, Chris...

[ChazII]

I hope to be back online by tomorrow evening...

If I feel OK, I will be.

Thank you!

[Mojorabbit]

93. I had it done the end of June

The first week was uncomfortable but after that all was well. I wish for you a speedy recovery!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I'm hoping for the same speedy recovery!

96. Right before you go under, remember this:

They will all be wearing masks so that you won't recognize any of them later.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

100. My dear Lasher!

Ha! You may be right!

Thanks for the good thoughts, LOL!

[WillParkinson]

97. I have no idea what that is, but...

I'll be thinking about you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

101. My dear WillParkinson!

Gall bladder removal, dahling!

Thanks for the good thoughts, sweetie...

[WillParkinson]

105. Then I'm worried...Some of the things you say...

Take a lot of gall.

Get better quick!

You'll do fine. By this weekend you'll be back to annoying the gentry and terrorizing the peasants.

Sore, tired, not much pain...

I am going to cautiously eat.

Thank you to all of you who showered me with good vibes, and wishes and all sorts of wonderful thoughts...

They truly did help.

I'm happy to hear that it went well. No more bilious Peg, lol!

[Kali]

116. wow! that is great

going to inform the husband how easy this can be!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

118. I am taking it easy!

Comfortably positioned on my favorite couch, and I've just consumed a large cup of chicken noodle soup, and my coffee!

I can't really concentrate enough to work MIRT today...sorry.

[Kali]

124. yeah, I would highly recommend the break

some fugly shit going down, hopefully they are bored and back to their hidey hole quickly.

Peggy! So glad all went well and that you're home again and on the mend!

[Lasher]

139. I'll bet you will wake up sore tomorrow.

Keep your meds handy for when you wake up.

Thanks, I was hoping to see an update.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

140. My dear Lasher!

I am already sore...I've taken my first narcotic, and I'm going to take another one when I go to bed, which will be pretty soon.

I actually thought ahead, and have some both upstairs and down! No running up and down stairs when things hurt...

Except for the soreness, I actually feel pretty good. I really had not had any idea how this was going to work out...

Thanks for your good thoughts, sweetie...

[IndyJones]

141. I'm so glad your surgery went well and you are feeling okay.

[HeiressofBickworth]

117. Congrats!!

Glad to hear it went well for you. Now take it easy, don't over-do. Nap a lot. We'll be waiting for you!

You'll be home and posting in no time at all. Will keep healing thoughts in my mind for you.

Time for a nap!

Thank you for your good thoughts...

Home and comfy is the best thing right now.

134. California Peggy - Good Luck!

I just got out of the rehab hospital today and this was one of the first posts I read. I couldn't get online at all while there so I am way behind.

Everything should go great for you but I will be sending good vibes all day tomorrow.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

135. My dear csziggy!

I had the surgery today!

It was outpatient, and I"m home already!

Thanks for coming by, sweetie...

[csziggy]

136. Fantastic!

You must be doing good to be posting tonight!

I got my second new knee July 25. While the knee did great, I had a lot of nausea in the hospital. Then when I got to the rehab hospital, the first couple of days went so good I overdid it and spent a couple of days hurting more than I should. Once I stopped doing more than I was supposed to, everything came together and I was cleared with flying colors.

Getting the extra physical therapy between the knee replacements really helped. I was stronger going into this second surgery. Of course having a good leg to stand on helped a lot. It already hurts less than the knee did before the surgery.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

137. That's wonderful news!

I'm really glad that you're doing so well, too.

I'm a little surprised at how good I feel tonight. I had a little dinner (mostly soup) and it tasted so good.

One of my puncture wounds is quite a lot more sore than the others, so I took half a Vicodin, had a nap, and now it's much better too...

I am very pleasantly surprised at how all this is progressing.


I think you'll be making that hike with your husband next year! Congrats!

[kimi]

138. Great news!

Happy for you that it all went well. Makes me smile very very big tonight!

As it does you, I'm sure LOL!
