Itai wa!

Argh. I keep thinking I don't want to have my gall bladder out because, face it, surgery is never fun. And then it goes ballistic on me for no reason at all (no, I don't consider three glasses of wine at dinner anything for a gall bladder to complain about: it's fat it's supposed to hate) and I must face an 8:30 to 5 day with a railway spike stabbing into my side. Now I can deal with that; I've dealt for fifteen years with that. But then on my break I found this on incandescens' FL. And I couldn't laugh because it hurt too much.

But of course I kept telling people to go down to the basement computer and look at it, and they laughed for me.

Sorry. ;)

Oh no, I'm delighted I found it. Have ordered the book now. The timing alone was unfortunate. That and an inopportune snow storm prevented disk 4 of Woxin from getting off to you.

I also laughed for you. (But sympathies on the gall bladder. :/)

Thanks. How Not to Soothe the Baby is the one I liked best.

XDDDDDDDDDD
I don't know which was my favourite, they were all so funny!

*pets your gall bladder*

*there there*

- and Ohhhh! Having been there already made it extra funny ... ^__^ I laughed for you!

But how are you meant to do the stuff that a gall bladder does (wiki to the rescue) if you have it out entirely?

[flemmings.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but evidently the gall bladder is an overrated organ. Everyone and their sister has it out and then goes on with their lives. If you're my s-i-l you go on with your beef-eating, scotch-drinking, olive oil on everything life and never notice.

haha -- guilty of washing with sink sprayer and nose picking!!

[flemmings.livejournal.com]

Yeah well- sink-sprayer (not garden hose, natch) is an occasional necessity with either breast-fed or self-feeding infants. I wish we had one at work and that the sink was larger, because there are times nothing will do but to strip the kids naked, put their clothes in a sealed plastic bag, and sluice them under lots of running water.

And when the wrigglers are thoroughly soaked you can tissue the boogers from their noses without picking. It's not like babies like spray in their nostrils any more than fingernails anyway.

True. I only decided to bite the bullet after postponing the thing for eight years because last time it went ballistic it bit ferociously at me for weeks. And I couldn't eat bacon.

Good luck with your cholecystectomy! And that the biliary colic clears up soonest.

The link is hilarious; the comments not so much.

[flemmings.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I shall now drop that randomly into conversation: 'Have I ever told you about my cholecystectomy?'

Oh well, never read the comments, that's where the idiots come out to play. Though if the self-righteous hadn't risen up in wrath I wouldn't know it was a book I can have for my very own.
