Topic: Bye Bye Gallbladder?
Everything has been great lately but it does seem I have a gall bladder issue that was probably present well before surgery. They just didn't catch it on the Ultrasound or even on the Cat Scan. This week I had a more in depth nuclear medicine scan called a CCK-HIDA and it showed a motility issue with my gall bladder. Gall bladder motility disorders can be associated with some cases of chronic cholecystitis also known as a long standing inflamed gall bladder. Dr. Kligman has not seen the results yet. I just peaked since I am in IT and had the scan done at Mercy where I work. I'm going to fax him over a copy today so we can talk about next steps. Not sure if he is going to want to take it out or just see how my new diet impacts the situation. Sometimes issues like these can just be managed with low fat foods. Hopefully I won't need more surgery right away as I am just getting back in the swing of things. I do have some mild pain though on and off. It has slowed me down getting back to the gym. I'm just not sure if I should try to work through it or what. I'll talk to him about that too.

Hey...you did it and that's the important part! Actually it looks great.
Here's what I did. I got crunched on time... again... but I got something in.
Tae Bo
30 minutes of Foundation work. I love it. I studied Kung Fu several years ago, and this is more or less just like it. The girls had fun watching me, laughing and imitating me, but when I challenged them to come join me, well that ended that, they found something else to do! 
Then I went and got an abbreviated weight training in.
Speed benching
45# x 10 x 10 for warm up
55# for 8 sets of 3 reps, 15-30 sec rest between
DB flat bench presses
25# x 6
30# x 6
35# x 6
40# x 3
BB overhead presses
45# x 6
50# x 5
55# x 6
Abs on the decline bench (Earl worked with me on these and showed me a different kind of crunch on the decline bench) 
Killer baby!
That's it. Not much either but I got it in! And my dear friend Kristie that's what counts!
My daughter goes in for her IVP this morning to see if she has passed her kidney stone(s). Keep your fingers crossed. That kiddo has been through enough!
HUGS!
