My Surgeon Said...

That I am 99% healthy! YAY! They say 99% because my liver enzymes are very high, because my gallbladder was so infected; and I'm still limited on my activity.

BUT!!! I was cleared to drive, to go on vacation, AND to eat whatever I want within reason. NO MORE SOFT FOODS DIET. I'm going down the shore for a weeklong vacation, from Saturday to Saturday, and I was advised not to go swimming or let the waves hit me or jostle me around.

My mom had to drive me to the follow-up appointment, but after I was given a clean bill of health, we got into her car and she said, "Okay - what do you want to eat? I'll take you anywhere you want to celebrate." So I had her take me to Dairy Queen, where I got a chocolate milkshake ... and it was the best damn milkshake I had ever had. After nearly 3 weeks of not being able to have dairy products, it was heavenly.

The best part is that I can now have coffee. We're still not sure how caffiene is going to effect me, so I'm sticking to decaf for now. But still - COFFEE!!!!

Again, I want to thank you guys for your advice and well wishes, and even if I wasn't posting, I was reading the boards while I was recuperating and it made me smile. So thanks for keeping me entertained! =)

    Glad you're feeling better.  Aren't gallbladders one of the most evil, useless organs?

    Indeed. I think it's evil because it knows it's useless. Like one of those supervillains -- "NOW ALL THE WORLD WILL KNOW OF MY POWER!" and then it makes you double over in excruciating pain  =/

    Being able to drink coffee again would be enough celebration for me.

    Glad you're healthy!

    Thats awesome!! I didn't know DQ had milkshakes, are the good? (Well, aside from the fact it was your first dairy experience in awhile, lol)

    As for coffee, if you need the caffine try weening yourself back to regular slowly by mixing decaf and regular.

    DQ milkshakes are pretty badass. You can make them with the soft serve or the hard ice cream -- and they do malteds! My mom wouldn't let me have a malted though cus she didn't want me to have any extra dairy. And the coffee thing -- yup, I'm planning on doing that =)!

    I go all over the Jersey shore points, but for vacation I'm going to Seaside Park, NJ...unfortunately it's right next door to the notorious Seaside Heights, where *gag* <em>Jersey Shore</em> is filmed. Luckily, Seaside Park is quieter ^_^
