$24,898.68

Oh boy ... what I could do with that kind of money:

2008 Malibu Hybrid


3 weeks in Fiji Beach Resort & Spa


Buy a Summer Cottage in Upper Peninsula Michigan


Sponsor 65 children for one year


or

Get my fricken gallbladder removed, yeah ... I got the bill.



*I g00gled for the photos and by chance, the Malibu pic is in front of the Mill Street Brewery in my town.

Me and ER, again!

Another cliff note post.
  • In ER Sunday night with these exact same symptoms.
  • Told them I was NOT having a heart attach so don't even go there.
  • Diagnosed myself as having gallstones and did tell them that.
  • (I know doctors hate that)
  • Had gall bladder taken out Tuesday 4 AM
  • Yes, I typed that right,4 AM
  • Had an awesome surgeon that loved having the OR to himself in the wee hours.
  • I just got home today.

I though gallstones was an "old person's" disease. I'm finding out it's not.
I am going to make sure I don't get a desire to eat dinners at 4:30 consisting of creamed corn, mashed potatoes and Salisbury steak though.
