Quick update,

on the old gall bladder. Met w/surgeon yesterday, (expensive, already), and got his price $1200, and anesthetist, $1500. Am still working w/operating room, which is WAY expensive for one hour, but want to get all the ducks in a row if I need some fast action. In the meantime, got a scrip from the doc that will stop the gall bladder contractions, if I have another episode, AND I have the anti-nausea pills (very expensive), which should quickly empty my stomach at the same time. These, along with a Percocet, the DR said, should get me through any attack. Plan to always have a set of those pills in my billfold, one set in Carol's purse and one set beside my bed. At this point, I plan to line everything up, if I need emergency surgery, BUT, will try to go the 'med' route, if/when I have another attack. That's the plan...

Could you have come up with a more revolting photo? The shape???? The contents, puzzling to say the least. I had no idea a penis contained those items. That certainly isn't the shape of a gallbladder.

Well,it was labeled as a gall bladder, and looks like all the other pix of gall bladders I've seen. The 'contents' are known as gall stones, and that is precisely my problem. Sorry about your penis fixation.

looks like no gallbladder I've ever seen, photo or surgical. Your's looks like a carved piece of bread that's been scooped out and filled with marshmellows and sliced black olives.
An actual gallbladder looks something like a deflated balloon, with just a smigon of air in it, undisected, of course.

You got me... It's a picture of a curved piece of bread, that I filled with marshmallows, sliced black olives and rocks from the driveway. Can't fool you...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
