Much Ado about Gallbladders
I was in an educating mood when I wrote yesterday’s page about the elusive gallbladder, one of those non-vital organs one never really stops to consider unless the organ in question is not functioning correctly, or one has a friend who is facing a surgery as I had.
I was amazed how few personal accounts there are from bloggers who have had this relatively common procedure. Of course, I was not really able to sit at the computer for almost a week after the initial surgery. But I did have sporatic time in which I was conscious, bored, and actively looking for such personal tales, comparing my experiences with theirs.
I wrote my page on the topic, as I was quickly learning much more about my gallbladder than I had ever cared to, and I thought the information might be useful to others. I linked to a few YouTube videos featuring some of the procedures I had performed on me, for those who aren’t squicked by such things. I did refrain from linking to a video showing the procedure itself–some things, one must search for by oneself.
