Ode To My Gall Bladder


Stupid gall bladder! You've got some gall!

Ten hours I spent in the hospital the other day because of you! And now, as I try to enjoy a little vacation time with my family, you remind me again that you're still with me.

But not for long, you worthless organ! Soon, the surgeon will cut you out and you'll be gone from my life for good. So long, sucker! Hasta la vista, baby!

Perhaps God created you inside me to teach me a lesson. I've been praying intensely during the pain. He is with me. And He will take my pain away!

And, as for you, ugliest of uglies. I will laugh as you are flushed away - gone forever. Thanks for playing.

You're awesome, Crystal! Thank you for your prayers.

I too have felt your pain. I will be praying for you while you are having horrific pain and I will pray for you through your surgery. Take it easy and be careful what you eat until that puppy is gone.

Laurence, we are praying your pain will be relieved soon. Steve has been in your spot and it does stink! Hang in there!!!

Laurence,

Pansie. Quit your bawling. Take your rifle and march up that hill.

Worthless puke.

You know, Laurence, that is a seriously nasty picture of a gall bladder.

Thanks to all for your prayers. I'm scheduled for surgery on the 21st of this month (next Thursday). The operation is pretty much an in-n-out deal. I just can't wait to get it done and over with.

come over to mark heltons MAN ROOM and we'll take care of it on the work bench... while the RAIDERS are playing on the big screen!

Thanks, Rich. Like I told Dale, I'm doing the surgery myself. The tricky part is holding the incision closed while I try to staple it. I might need someone to hold their finger on it while I line up the staple gun. But, other than that, it should be a no-brainer.

And watching the Raiders during the surgery would not be good for keeping my blood pressure down. I'll probably have on re-runs of T.O. standing in the middle of the Dallas star in a 49er uniform.
