Gallbladder Surgery

I'll condense everything to one post-

So I've had a fever since after I got home. It's been hovering right around 99.5 the past couple hours, which is up .5 from when I woke up. They said if it goes over 100.5 I probably need to go in again.

Waiting SUCKS
But I got to eat REAL food today, and I have my blanket and pillow, so it isn't so bad.

I hate hate hate sleeping on my back. My shoulder is killing me because of it, and my back is miserable. They've upped my pain meds because of it. Sad thing is that I don't even feel it anymore (the drugs), I feel normal :/ (other than the pain)

MRI to check my bile ducts, and surgery based partially around that. I have a 3cm gall stone that's obstructing junk. Something about some sort of infection, something about low levels of potassium and high liver enzymes, blah blah blah.

So I'm sure surgery will come in early and wake me up to tell me what's going on. Since my test was done so late there's no idea when anything is happening, but there's a pretty high chance that I will be going in to surgery TOMORROW (today for anyone outside of PT)

My surgery is tomorrow morning around 7:20. They said I'm the first case, so the chances of getting bumped are pretty low. They're going to go in Laproscopically first and convert to open if they have to.

Going in to surgery
