WOW Sara, what an ordeal you have just been through but am glad to see you are safe and well after your emergency surgery. Your message has just uplifted my spirits abit because I am off to gallbladder surgery in 6 days and was starting to think it was a bad thing after hearing about pain and runs. You see to be doing rather well considering and said you have been pretty much pain free so it really does put a smile to my face and makes me glad I am having this operation finally after 2 years of waiting. SO THANK YOU HEAPS!! Luv xoxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
