Ouch.

My mom had to have emergency surgery to have her gall bladder removed. She hasn't been feeling well for over a month and it was attributed to many different things, but we think the source of it all was her gall bladder. Luckily, it is a "non-vital" organ! I will always remember how the exam rooms at Dr. Napolitano's office had posters of the body and its organs and it always had a fork holding up the liver so you could see the gall bladder. I was always so intrigued by the fork.

Mom is feeling much better and hopefully will be going home tomorrow.
