They took her in at around 9:00pm, and the surgery was done by 11:30pm (I have a feeling she was sitting in pre-op for awhile since the surgery was only supposed to take an hour or so). She was in recovery for awhile, so we got to see her at around 12:15am. She looked much better than before, she looked almost back to her old self! I was able to talk to the doctor a bit while mom was in recovery and he said the surgery went well. She had gangrene in her gall bladder, so he said it was a good thing they took it out when they did. The doctor thinks she can likely go home either today or tomorrow. She is absolutely determined to still attend my shower on Friday evening, she’s a tough cookie!
Mom is now in a room (shared with another lady), so she has a phone next to her bed. She’s going to call me at some point this morning to let me know how she’s doing. If it turns out she is discharged today, I am likely going to pick her up (unless it’s after 5pm, which is when my dad will be back in town, he is working out of town right now).
So, of course, I didn’t get to bed until almost 1:00am this morning, and I had to be up at 6:00am to go to my chiropractic appointment, so I am one tired c-dub today. I think I will be going to bed at like 8pm tonight!
The meeting with the pastor went really well. That was our third and final pre-marital counseling session. We gave him our marriage license, so that’s one less thing we have to worry about!

Glad that your mom is doing much better!
She had the gangrene too, eh? Yeah, good thing that they got it out. I wonder how that develops? Did the doctor say??
No, I have no idea how it develops. My guess is when the gall bladder has stones and gets inflamed, that causes an infection and when the infection worsens, it develops gangrene. Yikes! Glad they got rid of that!
