Merrill Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hi -- I've been checking my email every five minutes, so this news just in:Merrill and DINET Friends everywhere!!Everything went great...I just popped home for a bit to answer calls and emails...Emily's dad is staying for a couple of hours.The doctors and nurses and everyone were on their toes and gave Emily all the care she needed and she did very well...She has the usual discomfort from that kind of surgery, but she just walked the hallway and did well...She was eating a popsicle when I left!!Emily and I appreciate all the thots and prayers, the picture of Sting, the Kermit song, the meditation CD and so much more that you sent our way...We were calm before the surgery and relieved when it was over. Now we need to decide who the winner of the contest to get the gall bladder is...All our love and thanx to you!Renee and Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrill Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 One more note--Emily's spending a night or two in the hospital, so she won't be posting for a while. I'll let you know if I hear any more news. Surgery was done laproscopically, so that's a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gena Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 HI Emily,I didn't get to post any well wishes prior to your surgery, but I just wanted you to know I kept you in my prayers. I sending healing energy and happy thoughts your way. We'll be glad to see you posting on the board again real soon. Rest easy and heal quickly!Here's a funny little healing poem I found on the net....just wanted to send it your way... It was back in the daysWhen the world was brand new,That Adam and EveTheir first gall bladders grew,For they lived in Eden,And spent the whole dayCavorting in naked,But innocent, play.God gave them the thingsThat they needed to live And said, "There is one thingI just won?t forgive.""You can eat your fillOf the earth?s finest things ?Eat all the shrimp cocktailAnd buffalo wings.""Eat all the French fries,The doughnuts, the scrapple.But you must stay awayFrom the juicy red apple!""No problem, man!"Replied Adam with glee."The apple, it holdsNo attraction for me."But a snake cornered Eve,And it hissed, "Apple?s yummy.A nice juicy fruitThat feels great in the tummy!"Eve grabbed for the fruit.In her hand she did take it.She bit off a bite,Then yelled, "Adam! You?re naked!""Try it," said Eve, "andI?ll look naked, too!"And so then, to AdamThe apple she threw.God just had walked inWhen he took a big bite."NO" thundered God,Causing Adam a fright."Now I am mad.You?ve done yourself inWith this, the most stupidOriginal sin.""And how shall I punish?Well, if you must know,You now an absurdLittle organ will grow.""An organ quite nastyThat?s loaded with bile.It will serve no real purpose,Except to cause trial.""Yes, that will I do,And that will end the matter."So Adam and Eve,They each grew a gall bladder.And I do regretThat we still have to payFor this stupid sinUntil this very day.But the worst is now over,Recovery awaits,And soon I just know youAre going to feel great!?2001, Deborah Taylor, David Willis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
