MISSING:
Has anyone seen any stray gall stones laying around anywhere? Seriously. My doctor gave me one of the stones to bring home and now I can’t find it. If you have any idea where it might be hiding, I’m offering a reward.
Anyway, I’m back home and feeling pretty good (with some help from the pain meds, of course). The procedure went very well and I’m now without a gallbladder — which gives new meaning to the over-used adage, “I feel like something’s missing from my life.”
I don’t really feel like writing too much right now, so I’ll leave you with a couple of links to a couple of photos from my last couple of days:
- Gross! Pictures of my gallbladder (the white-ish, veiny thing) being extracted. (Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
- Through My Eyes. A three-photo photo essay of my time at the hospital. This set is for those of you who are a little more weak-stomached.
Off to bed.
Update: A photo of the gall stones can be found here.

Your gallbladder probably looks similar, but without the little bulbous part on the end of it, seen in the upper-right pic (that formed from the irritation), as well as the sticky membrane seen in the lower-left pic (ditto).
