Where, Oh Where, is My Gallbladder?

I have four holes in my belly and haven't been able to sit up straight since Thursday. I just had my gallbladder removed. Ugh! I had what is called laparoscopic, or keyhole, surgery. Basically, they didn't have to open me up completely which is awesome because I can get back to real life sooner. Not yet though.

The lovely and amazing Daniel, my boyfriend, has been with me this whole time, having switched shifts, taken days off, and charged i.o.u.'s that were owed to him in order to be with me. He's cooked (amazing food), cleaned, and has helped me sit up every single time.

While I waited for my meds in the car, Daniel surprised me with a stuffed pink dog! He knows me so well... I love pink, love dogs, and really love the way he surprised me while I was at my worst.

Although Daniel has been making super healthy meals I did manage to sneak in a chocolate covered cookie marshmallow (or two, actually three).

My recuperating days have consisted of soup, movies, and lovely conversations with Daniel. Part of me wants to go back to school as soon as I can, but I could really get used to this pampering. Now, if only I could get rid of these four holes and sit up on my own I'd be really happy!
