Bye bye gallbladder!

If you know me, you know that I've been complaining about my gallbladder for about 2 years.  (I know that some of you had to suffer through a lot of whining, and for that I'm mostly sorry.)  But as of tomorrow night, I will be free of it at last!  My surgery is scheduled for the morning, and I'll be home and on awesome drugs by dinnertime.  I'll be out of town at my parents' place recuperating, likely high as a kite, so I won't blog again until next week.

And speaking of the parents, it turns out that bad gallbladders run in my family.  Tons of relatives have already had this surgery, so it's no big deal.  As far as I can tell, you can live normally and eat normally pretty soon after surgery.  Thank God!  It's barbecue season!

Check out that picture.  Who knew something so small could cause so much pain?

Wish me luck!  I'll be back next week, with one fewer vestigial organ.
