*hugs*

Your friendship means a lot to me too. The last thing i want is for you to come back to quickly and you upset your system more.

You know me well enough that i believe health always comes first, i taught you this from my own personal experience and medical issues.
Please take it easy, we all love you and would like nothing more than you to come back.

But please do not push yourself, take each day as it comes and get your strength up to maximum.

We will be here waiting for you when that time comes. :)

Nice

Thanks' !

Bah - I should have read the journals before asking how things were in the last post. XD Glad it's going better. And... how did I not realize you were Canadian before!? Wait times here totally vary from place to place. When my mate had to get hip replacement, she told them that she didn't care about travelling to do it, so once that was said, they put her name in the bucket in Kitchener, Guelph and Chatham (we live in London, ON). Chatham answered first, and she met with the surgeon after 5 month wait, and had the surgery about 6 weeks later. London would have been a 12 month wait to meet the surgeon and who knows how long for the actual surgery. So if it's possible for you, let your doctor know you're willing to travel where ever you need to.

Part of the problem in recent years is the aging baby boomer population. It's a HUGE generation, and suddenly they're all needing new knees, hips, and a multitude of other surgeries, so the system's struggling to deal with the surge. Grow the medical system too much to deal with it, and then we're left dramatically over-prepared when the boomers are gone 'cause Gen-X is way smaller a crowd.

More manly shark? Yes please

Glad to hear you are doing better =3

Good to have ya back

Great to see you're doing better Manly! Can't wait to see more of your stuff!

that's wonderful news :D
its great to hear from you again

Welcome back!

My previous comment was left because I misread and thought you had already had the gall-bladder removed. As for the bruise question you had, there shouldn't be any massive or permanent bruise, but there are two ways that the doctor may choose to remove the organ.

1. Laproscopic - If the doctor chooses this method, 4 small incisions will be made and the gall-bladder will be sort of "sucked" out through one of them, while 2 of them will be to put in clamps to move your liver aside while they make the cuts, and the last one will allow a small camera feed to go inside the area so the doctor can see what he or she is doing.

2. Big Cut - If the doctor does not feel that they will be able to properly or safely remove the gall-bladder using method 1, they will use this method, and make a larger incision near the area, and remove your gall-bladder directly.

Has your doctor mentioned how they intend to remove it yet?

Oh, and of course... please continue to be strong and I know you'll come out OK!

Glad to see you're recovering. Good luck with the coming surgery though.

oh crud, I missed that you weren't well. I would have sent all the hugs and good vibes had I known. Glad to hear you're doing better though 'w'

So glad that you're finally back, ManlyShark ! *Hugs a blushing shark*

I'm very glad to hear you're doing better now and all is ok. So recover now as good as you can!)

Here's hoping your surgery is a good one, glad to see you back around.
