Who has two thumbs and no more gallbladder?
(hexbear.net)
Speedy recovery
Thanks, it should be
Caught the problem early enough so complications should be minimal
nice, now you're even more streamlined and efficient
Not now though, there's some swelling
In a week or so though...
Bumps can improve aerodynamics in some designs 
Oh no, someone protect me from the golfers
Also, yes, I was lucky enough that they prescribed me some percocet
I apologize in advance if I get weird
Oof, how did that happen?
The story begins two weeks ago when I ended up in the ER when a gallstone apparently got lodged in my bile duct
Second worst pain I ever felt, first being a kidney stone and third being the time I got shot with a crossbow
But anyway, after some emesis and heavy drugging, they got me scanned and saw my gallbladder was chock full o' stones
Jump ahead two weeks, that fucker is out of me
That sounds generally unpleasant and I wish you a speedy recovery! My mum had her gallbladder removed due to cancer in the small intestine (sheโs fine, hardly any complications at all, for intestinal cancer at least), thus the additional curiosity.
Thank you very much
My mom had to get hers removed as well, but i was lucky enough to have it done laproscopically
She had to get it done the old-fashioned way
Same. Also my partner.
The doctor was telling me that the gallbladder was basically vestigial and enjoyed me asking him if that meant he'd take my appendix and coccyx too
