As most of you probably heard, I spent a good deal of Thanksgiving week in the hospital. After being sent home from one hospital on Sunday I proceeded to a different one for help with my gall bladder. This was my worst attack yet and no meds would help the pain nor the nausea.
Monday night the doctors realized that my liver was very inflamed and on the verge of shutting down, so an operation took place in which they removed my gall bladder and a gallstone that had passed into the common duct. I was supposed to be released tuesday morning, however as 8 pm tuesday night rolled around I was told that there was no discharge written up for me, however the nurse was kind enough to call the doctor and get me out of there.
Bad move! 5am the next morning I was back in the ER with uncontrollible vomiting and the worst nausea yet! Oh..and more pain! My liver was still in very bad shape so they decided to do an endoscopy and found and removed another gallstone. So late thursday afternoon I was released from the hospital...finally beginning to feel better and in time to enjoy holiday dinner!
Spending five days in the hospital is not my idea of fun...but it wasn't all that bad...check out the view!

Oh my dear Christina. I am so glad you are home. And doing well. We'll talk soon. We'll be home Sunday night.
Oh, Tina! That's so awful!
I'm glad to hear you're back on your feet (and that you didn't miss Thanksgiving!).
