WELL, SURGERY WENT QUIT WELL.  THEY TOOK OUT MY GALLBLADDER, WHICH WASN'T ONLY SWOLLEN BUT SEEMED TO OF HAD SOME SORT OF GROWTH ON IT AS WELL.

HE CHECKED OUT MY LIVER AND KIDNEY AND BOTH HAD NO GROWTHS OR CYSTS, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT I STILL NEED TO FOLLOW-UP WITH MY HEALTH DOCTOR REGARDING THE SIZE OF MY KIDNEY AND SEE WHAT'S UP WITH THAT. 

I'M ALREADY FEELING HEALTHIER.  THE PAIN IS SUBSIDING, BUT THE SORENESS AND BRUISING IS THERE.  I'M HAVING AN ISSUE WITH EATING.  I CAN'T SEEM TO HOLD DOWN OR PROCESS SOLIDS JUST YET, SO I'M STICKING WITH LIQIUDS.  I'M LOSING WEIGHT AT A FAST RATE, WHICH IS NOT A BAD THING, BUT IT'S NOT THE HEALTHY WAY.

THE FAMILY SEEMS TO BE DOING WELL WITH MY GRANDFATHER'S PASSING.  WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP MY GRANDMOTHER OUT OF THE HOUSE AND GET HER MIND OFF OF GRANDDAD SOO MUCH.  SHE WENT TODAY AND ATE LUNCH WITH HIM AT THE SITE.  WHILE I'M GLAD THAT GRANDDAD DIDN'T SUFFER LONG AND IS A MUCH BETTER PLACE, I WORRY ABOUT MY GRANDMOTHER AND HOW SHE'S GOING TO DEAL WITH SUCH A HUGE LOSS.  SHE JUST LOST THE LOVE OF HER LIFE.  THE MAN SHE WAS MARRIED TO FOR 60 YEARS.  I HURT FOR MYSELF, BUT MOST OF ALL, I HURT FOR HER.  PLEASE KEEP HER IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
