Gallbladder finally gone :)

Finally had my gallbladder removed on June 24th through keyhole surgery, everything went well and was home the following day.

Had some pain, but not enough to worry about painkillers, just lots of rest. Couldn't walk very well for the first week, and had to have 4 weeks of work.

I can't explain how great it is to know that I will never have another gallbladder attack, they are the worst things imaginable, hours and hours of excruciating pain. Still have to be aware of what I eat but for digestive reasons now.

7 Weird and Random Facts About Me

I was asked this question by Coffecup “I’d like to nominate you to tell us all 7 ‘weird and random’ facts about yourself”…. hmmm I will give it a go.

1. I am a bit of a gypsy and have moved house more than 60 times.

2. I am an organisational nut, but am not very tidy

3. My favourite foods are Cheeses and Cold Meats

4. I enjoy decoupage

5. I have a warped sense of humour that some people just don’t get

6. I am the black sheep in my family, apparently I don’t “conform”……. to their ways of thinking

7. I am a reflexologist

Hope this qualifies

   Hi Ruby! I’ve never commented before, but this post struck me a little. You have moved house more than 60 times??? That’s an awful lot of moving! How did you endure all that?

   Hi Panic Guy
   Yes a bit of worry really A lot of those moves were going back to the parents house between moves, but its still moving really.
   In hindsight I think that it was my anxiety that caused all the moves, and each time I moved I felt great for a while when learning all about a new place, and I did love setting up a new house and getting to know the culture of the place.
   Since the kids came along I lasted 4 years in each place.
   I am glad to say that I have lived where I am for nearly 4 years and don’t have itchy feet yet, I think that is because as I get older I don’t enjoy the hassle of moving anymore.
