Mea culpa. I'm only now catching up on emails, phone calls and regular mail (starting with the bills!). Tom came home Wednesday and stayed home for the remainder of the week. Per doctor's orders, he was up and walking every day, and Sunday we even went out for an hour to do some last minute clothes shopping for our trip to Florida later this week (quickest way to lose weight: take out an organ).
He went to work today, but was dragging by mid-day, so I picked him up around 3pm. He's been in bed sleeping practically ever since. He'll head back to work tomorrow, but we're leaving early for a follow-up appointment with the surgeon to assess his healing progress and take out the staples. He's feeling much better, although sore, tired and a queasy stomach. Hopefully he won't have any long-term side-effects.
It's somewhat of a mystery how this happened, but the surgeon made it clear that he has been sick for some time. A friend who is a nurse says she sees gallbladder infections frequently in men who have gone through a rapid weight loss (Tom started back at the gym early this year and is running 3+ miles at a clip now).
For those of you keeping count, here's a recap of the past two weeks: fly to Chicago, fly home, run the Boston Marathon, fly to Chicago, detour to St Louis, fly to Boston, spend 12 hours in the ER, remove one gallbladder. Now do you see why I named my blog "never a dull moment"?
Hmmm...maybe now I can finally write that post-marathon report!
