goodbye gallbladder

about a month ago i had really bad stomach pain, and when i went to the doctor, he thought it was an ulcer, a bacteria or virus, or food poisoning and gave me some pills for it. it still hurt a week later, and when i went back, he gave me antibiotics for a uti. four days later i had an ultrasound, and they finally determined that it was gallstones.
so last monday, i had my gallbladder taken out. i was scared and nervous about it, but an hour and a half later i was awake and in recovery. they gave me pictures of the surgery, and it was infected and about three times the size it should have been. my incisions still hurt and i can't pick up vaughn yet. josh and my family have been nice enough to feed, dress, and change him, and put him to sleep, to give me time to rest and recover.
