Kathy-- Glad to hear that you are healing nicely! How nice of you to ask about my dh. He had his gall bladder surgery on Tuesday (10/27). All went well. He has 4 incisions (one is through the belly button). The only one that really hurts him is the top one near his diaphram (Dh had hernia surgery about 1 1/2 years ago and they put in a mesh. His gall bladder surgeon had to make an incision higher than normal, so as not to go through the mesh). It still hurts him to stand up from a sitting position, or to roll over in bed. Somebody suggested a rocking chair, and it definitely is the most comfortable thing for him. Like you, he isn't going to be lifting anything for a while. He also takes karate classes that he is going to have to miss for 6-8 weeks. Dh has gone on an errand or two with me, just to get out of the house, but he tires easily. He insists on going back to work on Monday. He better be feeling a lot better tomorrow if he thinks that he is going in to work on Monday!
Hope your healing is speedy and complete!!
