Okay, so I'm kind of back! Not in the extreme, but sort of.

[ScreamingMeemie]

I just wanted to take a thread to thank you all for your PM's and responses with regards to my health. I am missing one more organ as of Monday afternoon, and am slowly coming back to the land of the living. I am just grateful that I wasn't dying after all which was my first thought when I woke up early in the morning last Thursday. I begged MrG to get me out of the house so the children wouldn't see. It was just the gallbladder thing and a malfunction of a gastrointestinal surgery that I had done a few years ago. That will be taken care of at a later date, once I can get some strength back.

You are all the most wonderful bunch of people, no matter what Karl Rove says about you. I knew it all along, but you proved it again.

I am only really sad that I missed FundayX. I was so looking forward to it and the next one is so far away. :cry:

Again, thank you all, and I hope to back posting at warp speed soon.

Now I have to go throttle PassingFair. ;)

Take care,
Laura

Had no idea you were dealing with all this. I'm still a newby, but appreciated your welcome to DU awhile back. Hope you had a nice birthday and all your days to come are filled with good health and peace. Relax and take care!

(It heals, it heals, little tadpole...
if it doesn't heal today, it will heal tomorrow!)

Comforting words my neighbor used to say. :)
Welcome back, Mrs. G!

16. MrsGrumpy, glad you're back

I had my gallbladder out a couple of years ago. I had only one attack before the surgery, but one attack was enough.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

17. didn't know you had gone for surgery

best wishes for your recovery

I especially took notice at the part about gastrointestinal surgery, having had extensive experience with that myself.

Hope all is well.
