Dear Mimi,
Despite what you say, you are handling this with grace. The crying, despair, etc are normal reactions given what's going on. You have a long day (and more) ahead. Know that all of us are here rooting for you and RD and sending as many good vibes as we can in your direction.
I'll stomp the pedals extra hard for both of you later today.
Keeping you in my thoughts.

aw, you guys are making me cry.. thanks.
some good news: dr doesn't want to take out his gallbladder after all! one less insult to his body.
especially since his gallbladder never bothered him, we both thought it was stinky that they considered it a "throw away" organ.
he's in surgery now. he maintained an incredibly good attitude even as they doped him up. hes an amazing man.I like Bikes - Mimi

At the risk of stating the obvious, as he is coming out of all of this in the next few days, remember to massage his feet, legs, hands and arms. As we all know, touch is an amazing thing - for both of you. Hugs

Sending positive thoughts your way, Mimi. I hope you find something to do to keep busy today. I can imagine how hard it is to sit there, waiting. At least you have us.

Mimi, I hope all goes well today, it is harder to watch someone we love go through things like this than to go through them ourselves....
My mom is having lung surgery next Wed...I will be headed to Tennessee on Tuesday and will return that weekend. I likely won't have much in the way of internet access while I am gone.
