Surgery is scheduled for 8 am EST. to remove my GallBladder **UPDATED**

[Katie from IL]

I hope you brought a doll with you to the hospital!

I'm so sorry about so many surgeries! I had my gall bladder removed a few years ago when I was 24, and my mom had hers removed about 6 months later! It's frustrating with all the complications and having to eat all the yucky hospital food! [img]graemlins/gulp.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/dish.gif[/img]

I hope that we on the board and your dolls can bring you comfort. Sometimes it's times like these when having a doll(s) really means the most. [img]graemlins/guy.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rainbow.gif[/img]

Starla, sorry about the news you got today, but I'm so glad you're up to updating us. That is so thoughtful [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img] I probably would be conked out from exhaustion! LOL! Feel better and as always my thoughts/prayers are with you.

Ashley'sMommy, the pain in the shoulder is "referred pain" from the diaphragm. For those who don't know, the diaphragm is the muscle between the lungs and the abdomen, inside the body, and its job is to help the lungs inflate as we breathe. Whenever we get some blood or a bubble of air up against the underside of the diaphragm, from either some kind of test or some surgery, instead of feeling a pain in the diaphragm, we feel pain in the shoulder closest to that side of the diaphragm. Weird but true.
