Glad all went well.

Richard,
good to hear that are recovering - I'm sure it's a great weight off your.........um....gallbladder! There is nothing more distracting than a few hours benchtime to take your mind off any niggles.
Cheers

Thanks Fellas, I'm glad I'm home and the ordeal is over. The pain was excruciating as Paul had mentioned like wanting to die. Anyway it's good to be back although it was like a holiday apart from the pain as the hospital took great care of me, food was surprisingly good and knowing many friends were concerned with well wishes.

For those who can't stand raw meat don't look but this is for John R and who ever requested to see them... here they are...the stones look like birillium spheres from the movie Galaxy Quest. The second photo is the first op to unblock the duct. The third photo is a close up of the stones.

Good to read it's over and done with and you are recovering well. Nice one Richard!

If you don't mind, I'll pass on looking at the pictures close up!.... :fearful:

Take care.

Sincerest apologies. I've only just come across this thread.

Glad to hear the op went ok and can only imagine how much pain you must have been in. I had a very small one earlier this year and that was agony to the point that i actually vomited. it's the worst pain I've ever felt, even worse than my dislocated shoulder 20+ years ago. Fortunately in my case I passed it quite quickly but it was very scary not knowing what the cause was.

All the best for a speedy recovery.

Well, that's me put off my breakfast! Wouldn't have like to have had those grinding away inside me. Hope the recovery's going well.

 

[rtfoe]

Thanks Guys, I am doing better partly because of the painkillers which I am to ween off soon. I'm eating sensibly now and funny how my body has adapted to the new eating habits...no craving for sweet, salty or oily stuff. Also could mean I don't want to go through the pain again.

The inflamed bladder looks like Kimchi. :smiling6:

Taking it easy day by day.

Cheers,
Richard

I'm delighted to hear this excellent news, Richard.
Thanks for the rather unique reference material, I'm sure it will come in handy some time or other...
