a snowman and three hearts...

I had my gallbladder taken out on Thursday (the 8th). It was quite an experience. I got to be sedated via gas mask and let me just say... it was the greatest thing in the world. I felt so good and relaxed. Everything was in slow motion and I can feel myself actually being put to sleep. Too bad that great feeling didn't last when I woke up. Gosh it felt like I was hit by a truck. I had bruises and IV needle punctures all over my arms cause they couldn't find a vein. If I didn't know any better I would say they beat me up. The surgeon was such a character. Instead of regular gauze bandages he made them into little shapes. I had a snowman on my belly button, and three hearts where he made the other insertions.

They also did a bilateral bone marrow biopsy so I should have the results of that by tuesday. Depending on what they saw I'll either do another round of chemo or just go straight to transplant.
