PurpleHen Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm feeling sorry for myself as am going in tomorrow to have my gall bladder out Should only be keyhole in which case I'll be back home on Sunday and probably online soon after If they have to "cut me open" - I might be in for 7 days, so if I'm very quiet - that's where I've gone Only one in 20 chance though so fingers crossed Have left lots of instructions for my OH re hens - just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Good luck . Hope all goes well for you and that they do the keyhole bit. The hens will be in good hands, I'm sure. Keep smiling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Blue Sky Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 My OH had his gall bladder out through the keyhole (reminds me of an off-colour joke I might put on the jokes thread) about 10 years ago and after a few days bed rest was as right as ninepence, and so will you be PurpleHen Take it nice and easy when you get home - January is perfect for that sort of thing anyway, so you can watch lots of lovely daytime TV and rubbish movies and catch up with Heat magazine and do your nails... that's what my hubbie did anyway ha ha Good luck, best wishes & love to you Heather x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauty-Box Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hope the op goes ok. I was sterilised with key hole surgery. It's really clever, I only had two little tiny cuts and one of them was in my belly button. Hope you make a speedy recovery, Love from Rebecca.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I know how you must be feeling - apprehensive & nervous, but just remind yourself that whatever happens in a week it will all be over Fingers crossed for the keyhole for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley-Jean Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Good luck Jackie I had keyhole surgery in August 04. The recovery is very fast so I expect you will be back on the forum before long. Try not to worry about it. Do you need a bedtime story too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hope all goes well, trouble is now I can't get Lloyd Grossman out of my head with his silly saying relating to who lives in a house like this! Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleHen Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hello - and thank for all your wishes. Got back yesterday after keyhole - can't remember much of Friday, General Anasthetic combined with morphine I think But now I am installed (having quickly checked the chooks yesterday) in bed with laptop, Suduko, books and two happy cats for company. If I stay still I'm fine - it's moving that causes the problems. Doing what I'm told though and getting up for a walk round every 2 hours - can't belive how tiring it is though. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
