He's having a procedure done today.

I don't want to share too much and risk violating his privacy, but it's not serious, and he should have a quick recovery.


OK, OK, you dragged it out of me...

He's having a lobotomy.

The doctor things it will really improve his performance.


Hope you're feeling better, fatboy! Cheesy

A lobotomy?  I hope it won't make him campaign for Dean in '08. Cheesy

Does this procedure have anything to do with eating all of those "lard pucks" that Mike mentioned earlier? Cheesy

Thanks!

I'm having my gallbladder removed.  It's partially a hereditary problem (easier to count the family members who still have theirs) and partially related to my weight loss earlier this year (losing weight can damage your gallbladder).  Anyway, mine doesn't work well and I've developed stones.  If all goes well, it'll be done laproscopicly (mispelled, but I'm too lazy to look it up).  If so, I'll be home this evening.  Worst case, they do a full incision and I'm in the hospital for a week.  They won't know until they start, and I'll find out when I wake up by viewing the aftermath.

Who's up for stew tomorrow?

So, eating healthily and exercising put you in hospital? Were you in the habit of eating Tofu? Am I the only person who chuckled?

Oh, I was.

Get well soon and next time just keep eating the lard Smiley

Of course.  I'll do my best.

In a matter of speaking, yes, but only because I had a bad GB to begin with.  The fat you lose is processed by the liver and that gets turned into bile, which is stored by your gallbladder.  The way I understand it, losing a lot of weight stresses this nearly worthless organ.

Not even when I was dieting.

Good luck.

Its nice to know that somebody else out there has an appreciation for the finer things in life, like homemade biscuits and chicken fried steak.

His daughter kicked me in the balls just last week. Since she's only two, I figure I can't kick her, so I'll kick Dad.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Actually, He's really having an Eyectomy.  It removes the nerve running from his eyeball to his ***hole.  It cures his crappy outlook on life.  No, wait...that one is reserved for his "friend" Mike.  cheesy  Tongue

Just heard from Chris.

Surgery was a success, except for one small issue...

We need to refer to him as Christina now.

Surgeon must have sneezed...

mtnbkr--
"I'm having my gallbladder removed."

BTDT.  If it's laparoscopic (thanks, dictionary.com), you'll be sore for 3-4 days.  
DO be careful with greasy, spicy foods for the next 6mos. to 1yr.
(no more Kline's Drive-In.  Tell Lynn Kline someone he went to H.S. with said he's a horse's patoot. j/k)

Then, you can pretty much LISTEN to your body, and do as you please...
did I mention be CAREFUL with greasy/spicy?

Best wishes for a quick rebound--

I'm home folks.  Everything went smoothly and the only significant pain I felt was when I first woke up.  Once they got a percocet in me, I was fine.  I'm currently sitting in the recliner with my laptop.  

F. Fig, I plan to make some changes to my diet anyway.  While I will continue to enjoy the best of southern cuisine, I'm going to make it a smaller part of my diet.  

I showed my daughter the bandages on my stomach.  She then went to my wife and my dad looking for their "booboos".  Then, she looked at her own belly for her booboo. Smiley

Thanks for the well-wishes. Smiley

Glad to hear everything went well.  I think my hankerin' for some of those patented lard-oozing biscuits has subsided for the moment. Smiley

In all honesty, most people won't have this problem.  For me, it's mainly genetics, compounded by the diet.  While Mike and I joke about my lard pucks, homemade bacon, etc, I actually eat fairly healthy.  I eat plenty vegetables, fruit, grains, etc.
