After The Op

[poliphilo]

That was a long day. Ailz had the operation in the morning and was transferred to the High Dependency Unit in the early afternoon. The infection was so bad that they couldn't do keyhole sugery, but had to make a big incision so they could look around properly. I assume they took out the gall bladder entire, but no-one has actually explained it to me yet. The main thing is that she's out of pain (out of serious pain, I mean) and is at last able to get some proper sleep (she was so short of sleep before the operation she was hallucinating (a giant rabbit, a Russian woman playing the violin.)

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers.

Whew. Now Aliz can rest and get well. Too bad the docs had to do the more invasive surgery.

Continued good thoughts for both of you. Are you adjusting to the emptier house?

Just as well they invaded. It turns out her gall bladder was gangrenous.

The house won't be empty tonight. Joe and Sarah are staying over.
