Of All The Things I’ve Lost…

March 7, 2007

Two years ago today, I woke up from surgery to tremendous pain. And I was missing an organ.

That’s right folks – today we remember the organ that is no longer in me – my gall bladder.

Hey! It left a parting gift – a six and a half inch abdominal scar and a very sensitive belly button.

Actual conversation with the nurse after my surgery:

Nurse: Ms. Keekah, on a scale of 1 to 10 – with 10 being the worst – how would you rate your pain?

Me: Yes, please. (I wanted more morphine.)
