On April 13 (Monday), Bruce reminded me I needed to call the surgeon’s office to get an appointment for my gallbladder removal. He was afraid I might put it off. He really doesn’t like seeing me in pain.
I called the surgeon’s office and spoke to the scheduling department. I was told that they needed to talk to the surgeon and she was out today. They promised to call me on Tuesday.
On April 14 (Tuesday), I got a call back from the surgeon’s office. My surgery is scheduled for May 6. She said I would need a pre-op the week before. She wanted to schedule the pre-op. She asked what time of day would work best for me. I said if I need to fast for the bloodwork, I would prefer the morning. She said she’d look into it and call me back.
On April 16 (Thursday), she called me back with a date and time, April 30 at 1:00 PM. She gave me the news that I didn’t have to fast.

Yikes, how do you feel knowing that things are moving so quickly?

I feel relieved. The surgeon said once I decided to have surgery, it would be about two to three weeks before they would do the surgery. I have a lot of confidence in my surgeon, she does a lot of gallbladder removals. She talked about how she did them the same way every time to reduce the risk.
Surgeons are funny. She said gallbladder removals are her favorite surgery. She likes doing the robotic surgery.

Big decision and one only you can make. Fingers crossed, positive thoughts and make sure they give you back the gallbladder so you can plant it in that Bama dirt. 😁
