    Thanks for the prayers

    I am out of hospital and the operation did go ahead, despite evidence of a spike. There may have been complications in the anaesthetic but none they bothered to tell me about as I kept shaking when I came around. Now I am home I am drinking, eating and home I just need to try and see if I can get a good rest in my bed.

    Thanks again
    Jengie

  • Yes indeed!

    ((JJ)) I had this op last year - if you had keyhole they inflate you a bit with gas and the first few days are uncomfortable as that works it’s way out of your system. But it does pass quite quickly, a few days only. Just be gentle with yourself and you should be feeling pretty good in a fortnight or so. It was shock to me to realise how much low grade pain after meals I’d just been putting up with the gallstones and not really registering. Once I healed from the op my quality of life became *so* much better.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    My late m-i-l said that gallstones were more painful than childbirth ... :flushed:

    I can't speak from experience for either.
  • DoublethinkDoublethink Admin, 8th Day Host
    (I remember turning up to A&E with gallstone pain and vomirting, the receptionist helpfully told me I didn’t look well - and they found a me a friendly person in scrubs to give me tasty tasty morphine.)
  • 🕯🙏🏼 for all above

    @Jengie Jon I'm praying for an easy recovery for you!

    Please uphold M, his wife K and their daughters. M is a mainstay of our Meeting, a courteous and talented man. He had a heart attack, out of the blue, a week or so ago. He is seriously ill in hospital, he is having an operation today with a 50/50 chance of survival. We are upholding him as a Meeting, all of us shocked by this sudden illness.

  • My son has had some worrying test results, and we are all a bit freaked out. Not sure yet what they mean...

    Academia Quest Update: Just found out that I made some mistakes at one college this summer semester. Argh. They’re going to give me one class rather than two for fall as a result. Prayers welcome. … And of course it feels like a punch in the gut.

  • RockyRogerRockyRoger Shipmate
    Argh indeed. Be comforted by the thought, 'Those who never made a mistake never made anything'.
  • Please pray for D and D, a married couple serving what sounds to me like the church from hell, who have both just been diagnosed with cancer (severity unknown yet).
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Prayers ascending, especially for Chopped Son.
  • My son's results are serious but not quite what we thought they were. Medication is available but insurance won't cover it. They quoted us $350 a month, which is a lot in our circumstances.
  • ClimacusClimacus Shipmate
    That's a lot in anyone's circumstances!

    Continued 🕯️.
  • Nick TamenNick Tamen Shipmate
    Wow! Praying for y’all!

    Is there maybe another source of assistance to help pay for it?


  • No.

    I'm sorry that your health "system" sucks great festering goose-balls. :cry:
  • So am I, thank you.
  • FirenzeFirenze Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    I'm very sorry to read this. Is this likely to be a lifelong condition?
  • yes.

  • Gee DGee D Shipmate
    And from us also.
  • Thank you, folks. We’ll be okay. My son is working part time as he prepares for seminary, so there’s some money coming in right there—and it’s the sort of condition that, if we can put it right and keep it right early, no permanent damage needs to occur.
  • Nick TamenNick Tamen Shipmate
    . . . and it’s the sort of condition that, if we can put it right and keep it right early, no permanent damage needs to occur.
    Thanks be for that!

    Indeed. Continued 🕯️. And best wishes as he prepares for seminary.

    And for all here.
