After a rather unexpected early morning trip on mondy @ 0400 to the emergency ward of the local hospital followed by an operation that same morning, followed again by three agonizing days without internet or outside communication (well, apart from a customer call  ), I'm back home now ... alive and kicking. Well, maybe not kicking yet, but ... guess next time I need to make sure I pack my stupid laptop

Well, just had some stomach pain from 0000, couldn't get it to go away until 0330, so I decided to have it checked ... gall bladder infected and couple dozens of small stones ... luckily, they don't cut open the stomach anymore, just three small incissions ... (guess it's like changing the spark plugs through your glove box ) (ouch, can't laugh yet )

good to hear you got over with ...
you should not have that problem reoccuring if they removed the
gall bladder what they normally do,
know a few people have had such problems past year.
but all of them are female above 60 with high cholesterole,
hm, now, HOW do you fit into that group??? 
J/K Garry
Bet your dog is glad to have you back, for sure he was getting worried
about his grilled chicken dinners.
oh - and what did I preach you all year?
you never know when is what to happen.
you know what I am talking about.
BTW: wasn't there any sweet little nurses? what you need a laptop for in the hospital? hm? get the nurses on your l.. ooops. shut up squirrel!  I meant to say, leave the laptop home and recover!

J/K Garry No tellin', the blood tests they did didn't even show the gall bladder infection, all the values were fine AFAIK ...

Well, he had his fun - was at the dog school and had a good time with his dog friends there ... but going crazy when I picked him up (of course) ...

Believe me, it was bad enough already Sunday night/Monday morning ...
Oh well ... it's over with now, I recon the nice li'le holes I got all over my stomach should be healed in another week or two ... just don't think I will be doing any Karts on Dec 6 or whenever that was planned (at least I can't imagine that right now)

Com'on, quit your wining - in the movies the heros can move on with
ten holes shut through their stomach.

Hey, I'm not whining ... after all, I was back home less than three days after the operation ... (would have gone home yesterday if I had been allowed to)

Some facts about gall stones:
- women get them 2 to 3 times more often than men
- 10-15% of all people have them
- 75% of all people that have stones never know they do
- probability increases with age
- using any method of taking care of the stones other than removal of the gall bladder has a high probability of re-occurance within 5 years
Why don't I ever have that luck with low probabilities when playing lottery and the likes?
