I had my follow up yesterday with the surgeon. Apparently I bled a lot and my gallbladder was gangrenous, which is extremely infected and dying, so the surgery was in just the right timing. I won't be able to go to work this week at all and then I have to be restricted to to lifting less than 20 pounds for 3 weeks after that. I have to see if the job will allow me to come back to work on light duty, if not I'm getting a very extended vacation. :) It's one way to get time off, but I don't recommend it. I also have thrombophlebitis in my right arm from the IV, which means the blood vessel got hard and feels very weird. But God is so good because this sickness is in actuality an answer to a very strange prayer I've been praying for months. I've been so tired and exasperated by my current job, I've been asking God to just let me trip and break my ankle or get sick so I could have a break. He answered my prayer! Just be careful what you pray for. ;)
