Recovering from a totally unexpected surgery...

So I'm at my parent's house right now recovering from a totally unexpected surgery. I came to visit my family for a few days and went to the doctor because I wasn't feeling right and I had this sharp pain and nausea after eating and I knew it wasn't right. It turned out I had lots of gallbladder stones and I had to get my gallbladder removed, like right now.  So yesterday I had surgery and now I'm recovering from it. 

Life is so unexpected! I had plans for a very different summer, but this is what was given to me and I have to deal with it. The good side? I have my family near to help me!

If you order from my shop lately please wait a bit for your items to arrive. Mr. Danita is doing what's possible to send you everything on time but we will probably have some delays, sorry about that!

Life gave me lemons, I'm going to make some lemonade.

Oh! I feel for you!
I had the exact same thing a few months ago! It took two trips to the ER (in one day) to get them to admit me to the hospital. Turns out some of those pesky gallstones came out and had caused a blockage. I was stuck in that horrid hospital for six days!
I hope you recover quickly...until then, try to enjoy some pampering in between pain meds ;)
Ir ecall I was SO relieved when I could finally breathe deeply again. (I didn't realize what a luxury that was before lol)

Thank you so much. I'm recovering very fast and I'm amazed at how less I'm in pain now that I was before surgery. Yve, don't be scared, you'll see the big difference it makes in your life. It may be a few days with the pain of the surgery but it doesn't compare with the pain the gallstones produce. I was 2 months suffering with them thinking it was just gastritis, know I know it wasn't and I'm so happy they got rid of them. Good luck with your surgery!

Hey! I'm so sorry to hear about your surgery, but glad you're doing well. I came over here from the Pages and Paint blogroll - I'm in the class, too. I hope you're feeling well enough to participate in the class! I was so excited when I recognized your blog name over there, because I bought a piece of your art (a few years ago, now) that I just LOVE! It's fun to have someone in the class that I "know."
I hope you continue to make great progress with your recovery!

Sorry to hear about that! "Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans.--John Lennon" One of my favorite quotes, and it could not be more true! I hope you are feeling better!
