Gallstones

Today, my wife have to undergo a Gallstones removal operation. These stones were located in her Gut and it causes her major discomfort and pain. She mention to me the pain is like having a terrible gastric problem. She have been vomiting and has pain in her stomach. Have seen the doctor a couple of days ago and the best way is to remove the entire gut out of her body. Without further a delay, we made a date for the surgery which is today.

Checked into the hospital in the morning and operation were scheduled in the afternoon. While we're waiting for time to come, Tracy starts to feel scare. Then she says things like take care of the children, bla bla bla... like damn serious like that. Told her not to worry about it as it is actually a very common operation. Time draws near, gave her a kiss and in she goes into the Operating Theater (OT). Now it is my turn to be a bit nervous. Doctor mention to me the operation will take about 45 minutes but then I have waited for 2 hours plus and still she is not out yet. Getting very nervous at that time. As i wanted to approach the counter to enquire, she was wheeled out. She is still under the anaestatic, so a bit blur lar her. Enquire the nurse why it took so long and she mention after the surgery, patient will still have to remain in the OT for observation for an hour. Phew, gave me a scare. My wife then with a very weak voice told me "Very Painful Leh, who says not painful leh!"... I smiled and told her everything is fine now.

Then saw the gallstones. There was about 7 of it. It was placed in a container and damn one of it was a big one. As big as a macadamia nut! Doctor came in later and told me that it went well and ask me not to worry. Accompanied her till late evening, then went home to check on my kids. My kid did not even notice that their mother is not around also... haha.. After a quick dinner, I went back to the hospital. Now she could speak with a stronger voice. Ask her if she feels pain but she says not at that time. Chatted with her for a couple of hours and off I went back.

Now, the real tasks begins. I have to take care both of my kids which I don't think I have ever done so. Haha. Thank you to those who send regards and best wishes to Tracy. Now please send me!!!!
