she's taking on water mates

And so it goes, my Christmas decorating aspirations have been corrected.  Instead, I am 3 days into enjoying an excursion at La hospital Pasqua in a private suite (a free upgrade from the hallway bed), awaiting a special activity called "cholecystitis" also known as removing my gall bladder. Useless piece of tissue, thanks for the help GB -no help. .  On the menu since tuesday is Nil per Os. (nothing to eat for those of you who arn't speechies). (today is saturday). 

I must admit, though I work with people in acute care, I have a new appreciation for my patients who I have to recommend NPO with, and I have never actually stayed over night in a hospital before, no have I ever had an IV line, or surgery  I'm kind of close to being a big baby over it all., but from the sounds of it, my system malfunctioning was about to be getting real...as in real big problems (jaundice, pancreatitis,.) had I not come to this.    

I have unfortunatly been too nauseous to knit, but I understand I will have recovery time at home where I expect knitting will be the perfect companion....provided I have some runners to get me yarn...(any volunteers??

positive: my surgeon assures me she has done over 300 of these surguries.

negative: my surgeon assures me I am her first ever patient with choledocholithiasis

(It is the stones in the common bile duct shared with your pancreatic duct that really fuck one up a tree)
