Gallbladderlessness

Now THAT is a fun word to type! Not as fun to say as uteruslessness but pretty fun to type. Try it, you know you wanna.
I am sore. I have realized that the kidney is going to hurt like a son of a bitch. I'm hoping that I will forget, like I did after I healed from the hyst, about the pain. Because even though this one is "no big deal" according to everyone who has had it done, it does hurt. I've never had incisions before and they are a little bit sore. There's no real way to lay and be comfy yet, and when I pull on of them...OUCH. And yuck. The one up high bleeds often, that one must have the hardest time with me moving this way and that. Ick, ick, ick.
But Truly, it is remarkable. On Saturday, the sorest day, I couldn't imagine that yesterday would have been so much better, and it was. Today is better yet. So in the end, it's all good. It was just a smack in the face that surgery often hurts, and if this is "nothing" and I can't clearly remember how terribly painful the hyst was in the first week or so, donating a kidney should be FUN. haha
I met a sweet soul from the UK who is going through a kidney donation and she said she has had major surgery before and expects no pain from the transplant. : ) Isn't that sweet? I hope that for her. I really do. Maybe that's the problem? I'm expecting pain? I know it won't last...
My lung hurts, my right one. I supose it might have gotten bruised or else it's just referred pain, but it's fun to breathe, and cough. : )
Enough whining about that now. Shall we discuss how great my husband is at taking care of me during recovery? Did you miss it? I just typed it. We'll try again, here it comes... there, did you get it? I crack me up! I am positive that he is doing "all" he can, and for him it's probably overwhelming to have all the kids be his responsibility- even though he'll be the first to say that it's not, he is acting like it is. And here is something that he has said after both surgeries...I share this so that you will NEVER say this to someone who is recovering from a surgery. Don't ever tell them how hard it's been on you...or like Cullen said last night as he was stomping around the house, angry because his cheese dip didn't work out how he wanted (i'm not sure if he was slightly intoxicated, but this cheese dip was making him curse up a storm), but he said, quite unhappily that "it's been a long weekend." Oh...booo hoooo pooor, poooorrr Cullen. *kick in the nuts*
: ) Ask me how I really feel. Yes, I am fully aware that I am going to want to divorce him with the kidney.

Okay. I am going to drink some tea and just chill out. I <3 Vicodin.
