Mich, well aren' t you the little attention seeker (only joking). You poor love - yet another challenge (we wonder when they will stop heh) As the girls have said you will be free of another "pice of uselessness" when your gallbladder goes. I had mine removed many years ago aftrer having awful bouts of illness - long time ago now as that was when I was first married (had the gallbladder out after I left him) Surgery has come a long way since those days. I had the "full hog" with a big drain as well (second belly button hole - another life scar) I see you having the best time away with Mel so that means you will be well well well!!!. Go Adean - what a thrill. A cruise is on my Bucket List for sure. Have the best time every. Tonya - good to hear you are still enjoying yourself with little hiccups along the way. A couple of years ago my young hairdressor thought I was a Cougar as my husband looked so fit, young and cute. Wih all of his challenges this last year, he has really changed - very sad to see. I still see some glimpses of his cheekiness occasionally. I think I look okay until I look into the mirror - boy is that me in the mirror - who is that mature woman in my body?? Thief?? Mich, good luck with surgery tomorrow - will be thinking of you luvvy and wishing you a quick recovery. I am off for my lovely CT body scan. Such fun for a Monday morning. Keep us informed. Night ladies - sweet dreams XLeonie
