Back at the start of November I had a gallbladder attack that sent me to the ER. (At the time we didn't know that's what it was and it took an absurdly long time for medical professionals to figure it out.) Anyway, today I finally got to get it out! I'm actually posting this at a later date bc immediately after it all I was somehow both in a lot of pain and also super high. I'm setting it to look like it posted on this date for the sake of the timeline. Fair warning, I will also be including a picture that the surgeon sent us of what my gallbladder looked like so if you don't want to see that, I'm super sorry because the way this is set up you actually probably already have.

| Fun fact: gallbladders are not supposed to be that gray color with black dots. Apparently mine was nearly necrotic. The surgeon said he was surprised that I was up and walking and managing to smile with the amount of pain I should have been in. |
