Good bye gallbladder, thank you for your service.
I check in at the V.A. very early tomorrow morning to have my gallbladder removed. It was suggested that I have this done years ago but I did not want to unless it was necessary.
Now it's pretty beat up, thickened walls, polyps, and it is consistently spitting out little stones, which trigger pancreatitis attacks. 55 years of burritos, pastrami's, and pizza finally deep six'd it.
So long little guy, I hardly knew ya..

You will never regret having your gall bladder out!
I hope your surgery will go as easily as mine...
I've mostly heard that, but of course now that I'm about to have the little fella 86'd, I'm hearing horror stories of people not being able to tolerate any dietary fats. Alley is gleefully plotting a mostly vegan low fat diet for me..
I would hate to ask Valetino's Pizza to block my number, cause I'm a weak-weak man.. 
the creationists are always good for a laugh.

The wise Creator God designed our bodies to cope under a variety of circumstances. Ever since sin entered the perfect creation and all systems began to deteriorate, sometimes things don't perform optimally. Thankfully there are back-up systems for many organs, like the gallbladder. The Creator intended us to survive in this fallen world, and here we see the evidence.
Whenever we hear words like "that's a useless organ," we should recognize them as a product of evolutionary thinking. Often such claims are merely repeats of foundless evolutionary tales heard since elementary school.
The Creator designed things well—nothing is useless. Even if an organ becomes "useless," we can be confident that it was once good, and even if we can't find its present function we can be sure it has (or had) one. The same could be said for organs and structures in plants and animals. God doesn't make junk, and that's the "Back to Genesis" truth.
high hopes for you in an easy recovery. Please let us know how you are soon.
