Texanne to have surgery: Updated with good news

[Shadowdancer]

The gall of her: Texanne is having her gall bladder removed probably late Monday (5-22) afternoon or, if Scott and White's surgeons get backed up, Tuesday.

She went to the emergency room early Sunday morning with what she thought was a very bad case of acid reflux. Turns out she has gall stones (along with roughly 50 percent of the world's population) and one of them had probably passed, causing the pain and discomfort she was feeling.

So after a long night and morning in the ER, she was admitted to Scott and White shortly after noon.

While I fully expect her to come through the surgery with no problems, there can always be complications. So please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, and I'll keep you updated.

Update: Texanne came through her surgery OK today. They are going to keep her overnight as a precaution and let her go home tomorrow (Tues.) morning unless something unexpected happens.

The best news is that the surgeon didn't see any sign that a gall stone had passed into her intestine, so there shouldn't be any reason to go back in for more surgery.

Typically, as the drugs started to kick in as they were taking her from pre-op to the operating room, she gave me a Hook 'Em with each hand and said, "Hook 'Em Cat Ostermann and the softball team. Hook 'Em Longhorn baseball team. And Hook 'Em Scott and White surgical department; I know all of you are going to do it."

I was tempted to ask for some of what she was having.

Glad she's doing OK. I'm sure Texanne was most entertaining! Please give her my best!

Get well soon Texanne

 

[Texanne]

Thanks, Zealot! I have the female equivalent of what you guys called your "man-crush on Vince" for Cat Osterman. She's awesome and so is the pic!

I printed it and have put it on my desk. It will help me feel better and better each day!

Been thinking and praying for you, Texanne. I will be sure to pass along your pre-op thoughts to the softball team!

On to OKC!

Glad to hear all went well.

 

[Texanne]

Please do, lostman. I appreciate your prayers, and everyone's, and am happy to report that I am mending well and in no pain at all.

Go Lady Longhorns! Win it all in OKC!!!!

Texanne, I wouldn't know what to do without you in Omaha or at Olsen. Get well.

 

[mihm_rules_mom]

Glad to know you are better!

Texanne - it's been about a month. Have an update for us? Hopefully one that says everything went 100% according to the book and you're progressing as expected (or faster!).

I'm doing great. The only problem is that after having the gall bladder out, the body needs some time to adjust to the extra bile going into the system. This translates into strange bowel habits, to say the least.

I know, I know ... TMI!

But I'm doing very well. Thanks for asking, and I appreciate everyone's concern and prayers.

Texanne:

I just found this thread and wanted to post that I'm glad you're doing better.. My 3 year old had her gall bladder removed in December, and she's doing much better...

Texanne, darlin', so sorry i missed ya, but glad you "got 'r done" and you're doing better now. Save some of that bile for ou. I was in S&W after 5/30 for 6 days post-op from a 10 hour surgery...no fun.! I hope you didn't get that landthief resident wearing the ou scrubhat....ggrrrrrrrrr. It's enough to make a person sick, if they weren't already. Those Scott and White docs better have treated you right or you let me know! I'm sending prayers now to help your long term recovery on into football season... I had bilateral mastectomy w/ reconstruction (not wise, maybe) and then another surgery to heal a "problem child" wound and now I'm finally started chemo....blah. Hope i can make it to the games.....
good luck to you, too!
