Ouch? Was that your heart breaking because I'm so ruggedly, plump and handsome?

:D

I dont see any, Jim. :( We're all wheeled vehicles here. :(

Well THANK YOU, my dear.

I need that.

Am currently back in the hospital. Will likely lose my gallbladder tomorrow. :(

[Kathianne]

So sorry to hear that! Prayers for you, well additional ones. ;) Hope that makes you feel better from here on out, referring to the surgery of course!

[CSM]

Good luck and may your recovery be swift!

[darin]

thanks guys. My 'joining the warfight' has been pretty shitty.

thanks guys. My 'joining the warfight' has been pretty shitty.

Nothing ever goes as planned or expected. Getting the gall bladder out will make a huge difference tho. It's a simple procedure. You'll be in bed and on meds for a few days and a week of discomfort, but all those symptoms you have been having will be gone.

At least you will be able to say. "I lost my gall bladder in Iraq".

[darin]

NICE Gaf!

good Gall -erp...Good CALL on that last part. :):salute:

[darin]

it's done. recovering, painfully, now.

[Gaffer]

it's done. recovering, painfully, now.

Cool, glad its over, a couple of days bed rest and pain pills and you'll be up and about, tho slowly for a while. Did they use the three hole attack? You will probably have the drain tube in you for about 4 days. When they pull it out it doesn't hurt but it's a really weird sensation.

Was it stones or something wrong with the gall bladder?

[darin]

Four holes, Gaffer. No drainage tubes as far as i can tell. Stones problem. :(

[Kathianne]

it's done. recovering, painfully, now.

Sorry you're hurting, but glad you're well enough to let us know. Here's hoping you're up and around real quick!

[Monkeybone]

YOu have to meet my wife somehow (and me too i guess) so she doesn't think that you're imaginary.... unless you are.... :beer:

Dmp, think Noir just won the suck up award!

[darin]

Nice use of 'suck' after a guy says i'm hot. :D

Thanks folks - am back in my barracks room, on bed rest for a week. Have five puncture wounds it seems. Dunno why, but that's the count. Feeling weak and sore. I hope to be back to work before the week-ordered-bedrest is up; will ask my doctor on wed if I can get back to the job.

This deployment has been the hardest things I've done. Hardest thing I've done - thaswhatshesaid.

:D

[darin]

looks like this injury is costing me in many ways. Being sent home in a week. terrible. Heart-wrenching kinda pain in my life right now

[CSM]

Well, that just stinks. Hopefully better things await you here in the USA (maybe you just don't know about them yet!)

Permanently? Whatever decisions are made they will be for the best. Ultimately we are the choices that we make.

[Abbey Marie]

Sorry, D. Will you be able to go back?

[darin]

Thanks Guys. After my hours-long pity party, I think i've found a place for this. It's one more journey. That's it. We'll see what happens next. Doubtful I'll be able to come back. Maybe Kuwait or A'stan...but honestly, am done being away from my family.

They may well be for the best. First get feeling better, the decisions often take care of themselves. Glad you are recovering though, been sick too long.

I'm thinking this may be for the best. You got there and experienced something most people never can.
