Thank you dear friends![](icon_smile_8ball.gif)
When I read this thread for the first time a few minutes ago, it brought me to tears, I was so touched by your concern and healing energy.
I am at home with my wife recovering according to schedule from emergency open surgery for gall bladder removal. The body does not require a gall bladder, so I can look forward to normal healthy bodily functioning. I'm taking antibiotics and taking, for pain, Oxycodone, a narcotic. My meditation sits have been very peaceful and pleasurable (perhaps aided by the drugs).
A bit about the disease.
For many years, I have known that I have slightly above normal cholesterol, but I have never taken drugs to control it, trying instead to use diet and exercise. Turns out one of the causal factors for gall stones is high cholesterol. I was not aware of my gall bladder, however, until this crisis.
For years I knew I had digestive troubles, and that the pain was in my upper abdomen, and more specifically, in the area where the stomach empties into the small intestine -- that, I now know, is where the healthy gall bladder releases bile into the intestines to help digest certain fats. It is also where a blocked gall bladder squeezes unsuccessfully to release bile, and when it squeezes, it causes pain. I had felt that pain intermittently for years, but had attributed it to the intestines squeezing unsuccessfully. At times, it was extremely painful, and I would be up in the middle of the night in the squat position, waiting for it to shift. More commonly, it would be a dull ache that would put a frown on my face. Now I can expect a future without those attacks of pain. That's nice.
With gratitude,
![](icon_smile_shy.gif)
PS Interesting fact (from the surgeon who used laser surgery to clean gall bladder puss off the bottom of my liver): The liver is the only organ of the human body that can regenerate itself. It is like a lizard tail, tear off a piece, and it will grow back just like new. |

Happy to hear you are recovering well Bewell. You've been in my thoughts since I heard about the surgery.
I think the surgeon who told you that the liver was the only organ that regenerates itself is (slightly) misinformed... it's been shown that the brain does as well: http://www.newscientist.com/article....UjNQstKsiM4
