I didn't want any ice cream, but I've been gobbling down as much Jell-O as Jim can feed me! :D Thanks for the well wishes and for stopping by! :)

Apparently it's a very common thing now. :::shrug::: Yeah, it has really surprised me how many people I know that have had this done!

All I can say is how much better life will be once you have recovered. I had my gall bladder removed a couple or 3 years ago. All the pain and suffering is now a thing of the past. Good luck and hope they don't have to convert to a full open surgery as they did with me. When the camera went in, there was so much scar tissue surrounding the artery and the tube that connects to the rest of the system that they couldn't safely remove the bladder without opening me up. As I said - life will be much better - you will now be able to eat cream and all the other things you have had to leave alone :) You have probably already had the procedure by now.

Is there something in the water I should know about? Hopefully there won't be any more since they say things happen in 3s. :) Hope everything goes well! Hugs!

You may want to check with her and ask how her surgery turns out. Don’t let Jim know that I’m flirting with you and sending you some HUGE HUGS and best wishes. Hey Babe. :-)

I hope everything goes to plan, and that Jim doesn't get too much incriminating footage (or at least he shares what he does get with us so we can laugh along). Nicki,

I've been told to expect some pain, but as long as it's nothing like what I've had the past few weeks, I'll be fine. :) LOL, well your snipped bits are located differently than my soon-to-be-snipped bits.

It didn't take long at all, and I didn't feel at thing. They brought me too in the operating room, and I was fine. They wheeled me straight back to my room where CAR/kids were. I ate two muffins, asked for some scotch, drank some coke, peed, and was gone in 15 minutes. I drove the same day, I cut grass both both saturday and sunday, and I had sex on monday. My one day procedure was a piece of cake, and doesn't hurt any more than a bruise would. I had a vasectomy last friday and it was a piece of cake (btw, don’t tell mom/dad).
