... and the hits just keep a comin' ....
last Thursday after dinner I had some strong stomach pains very similar to what I had last Sept. ... I went into RI Hosp ER and they did some tests ... an ultra sound of the gall bladder showed some sand, or 'sludge' ... they admitted me and had me take some sort of nuclear scan ... the gall bladder did not show up on the screen (and I KNOW I had one when I went in there!!!), so they diagnosed it as gall bladder disease ... They kept me in the hosp through the weekend, and performed the laparoscopic surgery on Monday, and released me on Tuesday ... the way I felt Mon and Tues, I can't believe they do this as out-patient surgery ... I still have considerable pain/discomfort from the gas they pump your stomach with to get at the gall bladder ... The doc also says that I will feel tired for a while due to the anesthesia ...
We are hoping that the GB may have been the cause for the chest pain I have been feeling ... we'll see ...
Other than that, things are fine ... ...

PS ..... the doc says I will be out about 4 weeks ... If I start feeling better next week maybe I'll try to set up a cheapie website just to have a place to post some tunes ....
