Jessie had her gallbladder removed yesterday, and we're pleased to say that everything went as smoothly as it possibly could! She would have been discharged yesterday afternoon, but her surgeon likes to keep patients under observation for as long as their insurance allows (23 hours), so she came home this morning.
Jessie's mom, Debbie, came to town to help out, and stayed overnight in the hospital room while I came home and slept with the cats. Debbie will be here until Sunday. Thanks, Debbie!
We all learned a thing or two about gallbladders and how they help and hurt. Here's hoping that getting the gallstones out of the way will help Jessie's digestion in more ways than one!
