Brian and his Gallbladder




Okay, I'm sorry it has been a few days since we have posted anything new. Life is crazy, as usual, at our house. Brian had to have his Gallbladder out today. We arrived at LDS Hospital at 7:15 AM, despite the terrible traffic due to the snow. We checked in and then waited and waited. I ran down to the Lab so I could do my FUN 3 hour blood glucose test. YUCK! If I never have to drink that stuff again I will be in Heaven. Anyway, they got him in and everything went great. Bri, now has four small holes in his belly. He told the kids that they took off his belly button. They didn't think that was very funny. I thought the best part of the day was when the guy came in to Prep Bri for surgery. His official title is "The Shave Tech". What a crappy job that must be. We told him that Brian would be the easiest shave of the day since he has no chest hair or belly hair. "The shave tech" Then proceeded to tell us how some times he has to throw a blanket on the floor to catch all of the hair he has to shave off of some people. Man, I bet he has some really disgusting stories. Later in the day when we were getting ready to leave the hospital, we decided that he should have shaved Brian's arm where they put the I.V. in. The post-op nurse had one heck of a time getting all the tape off of the I.V. site. So for future reference, if you have to get an I.V. , just call "The shave tech" and ask him to prep your I.V. site.
P.S. Thank you to everyone who helped us out today. Especially D'Onn, Brian's mom for coming to our house at 6:30 AM to help us get our kids off to school and keep Seth all day. You're the Best Dee!!!

Isn't it amazing what they can take out through the belly button? LOL about the shave tech. Maybe they can highlight him on "Dirty Jobs". Glad all went well.
