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:

  1. Gross! Pictures of my gallbladder (the white-ish, veiny thing) being extracted. (Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
  2. 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.
When I find my stone, I’ll post a photo of it here as well.

Off to bed.

Update: A photo of the gall stones can be found here.

Thanks, Jason. Actually, I’d rat6her not be on the meds, but, admittedly…they are pretty all right. ;-)

AH! You are right…that’s pretty gross…thought I could handle it…but I don’t know if I want to look at that again. Glad they got that thing out of you! Does mine look like that?

Ha ha. Of all people, Steve, you should be able handle that! :-p

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).
