Farewell to a biliary vesicle


Dear Gallbladder,

We've been together for 31 years, and yet I feel like I hardly know you. Now you're leaving. Where did we go wrong? I'd wish you well in your future endeavors, but seeing as you will likely be incinerated within moments of leaving me, that seems a little callous. Just for old times' sake, though, please leave without making a scene?

Gratefully, Tamsin


Dear Gallstones,

I don't remember inviting you to visit, but this is me inviting you to leave. If you must take my gallbladder with you, so be it. But I think you're quite rude.

Unwaveringly, Tamsin

PS. I am undecided about whether or not I may keep you in a jar. We shall see.


Tomorrow is the big day. No more gallbladder for me!

  8. Feel better soon! I had mine out earlier this year- it was a tough recovery (but I was hot off the heels of a c-section, so that may have made it worse) also be ready for a change in what you can eat. In the beginning I seriously paid for a hamburger- or just a sprinkling of cheese on anything. Email if you wan to commiserate.

  9. gallstones are the WORST!! I am happy that you got rid of that sorry ol' gallbladder! When I got mine out my recovery was a bit longer than they had led me to believe (a couple weeks), so just watch out! I was mainly very very tired. Also, since I have had mine out, i have noticed that when I eat something heavy or greasy it is rough on my body. BTW I asked for some of my gallstones and they wouldnt let me keep it! http://tinybutclassy.blogspot.com/2010/01/gallbladders-are-sooo-out.html
