Surgery

David and I went to the surgeon yesterday about my gall bladder. I have to have it removed (for some reason I was just thinking the stones would be removed but once you generate stones, you always will so it is being removed) next Tuesday, 12/30. Not good news for a New Year's celebration but great news for deductibles. I will be in the hospital for about 6 hours that day and the doctor said the third day into recovery is the worst (when I will hit bottom) and then things look up from there - something to look forward to?!?! I really liked Dr. Riviera but I don't like all of the scary scenarios he had to "inform" us of. We were planning on going to Houston today to spend Christmas with some of David's vast family but decided against it. If I have another gall bladder attack, (I had some pain last night) then I will end up in an emergency room in Houston and we decided that wouldn't be a good idea.

Our trip to Ruidoso was awesome. I posted a few pictures on my Facebook page but I will need to post some here also. I'm so drained from not sleeping much last night and still need to do some Christmas shopping that I need to get going with my day so I'll save those pictures for later.
