Maybe I'll actually do it this time?

OK ... I'm "scheduled" to have my gallbladder out tomorrow. I haven't cancelled ... YET. I just don't want to do surgery ... I'm also giving up my crutch (for the past 1-1/2 years the pain when I eat has curbed my eating, and I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself). I've had this scheduled 4 times and cancelled each time, but I've gotten further this time ... I had the preop testing done. I don't know why I'm being such a chicken-sxxt, but I really hate hate hate the thought of surgery (especially because I feel fine NOW .) Just smack me upside the head ... I do KNOW better ... Felt good to get that out. Karyn

Karyn, smack, smack, smack! That's it. It is just pre-op jitters. You'll be fine once it is done. You don't want to land up in the ER and have to emergency surgery. You're in the best shape now and that will speed your recovery! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers! Big Hugs! Lucy (I'll be watching over you while you're sleeping)

thanks Lucy ... you are such a sweetheart. I really appreciate the encouragement (and the virtual smacks!) Talk to you soon, Karyn

Oh, girl I have been thinking about you for part of my day. I did not have access to a computer while I was in a training class today so I did not see the post that you made. YOU BETTER GO THROUGH THIS!! I cannot explain how important it is to take care of a gall bladder issue. Just take it from me. I have been there and done that. I almost died from pancreatitis because I let My gall bladder go for 18 months. Just ask my Dave what he went through because I did let it go. I will say no more. What time tomorrow so we can be in prayer for you? Chris

thanks Chris ... I will be at Resurrection (Harlem & Talcott) ... have to be there at 6am, surgery at 7:30 ... YIKES ... freaking out a bit ... need to go get Starbucks ... I wonder if they'll deliver to me tomorrow around noon? Sheesh ... I'm a nervous nut. Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers ... I love ya all. Karyn

You will be so much happier once it's behind you! Just think, you won't have to worry about it this summer! Good luck and I'll be saying a prayer for you! Kim
