I'm alive & back from gallbladder surgery
It has been 15 days. After a bout of wound infection and two courses of different antibiotics I think I will live - LOL. I appreciated all your support before the surgery - so I just wanted you to know I am back and in 'fighting spirit' once again, and not a minute too soon.

I missed you guys :)

2. thanks
Thanks Pert_UK, it is nice of you to welcome me back. There is lots of work to be done after being down so long, but I was told to 'pace myself'...so I will :)

3. Did you get the video?
If you get laproscopic surgery done you can ask for a copy of the video. Clears out straggling party guests in a flash!

5. A Hospital Is A Bad Place To Get Ill
"They" call it a nosocomal infection (sp?)...meaning you're stuck in a place where drug-resistant bacteria run rampant and picked it up from nearby patients and Nurses (and the Hospital isn't liable.)

Think about it; the only healthy people that inhabit a hospital are Mom's about to give birth.

I prefer to lie in my own misery at home as much as possible for "that" reason.
