It's a rollicking good tale, except for the part where you were in agony and had to get emergency medical treatment. That part is less entertaining, because of the pain and suffering. But it ends well, so yay! Glad you're doing better.

I had a severe gall stone attack on Thursday night. Eventually ended in the ER although, with no insurance, I really tried to tough it out but no way. The next day they to took me to surgery to have the gall bladder removed lapriscopically. They had planned an endoscopy to clean up some stuff they missed but cancelled because of staffing problems. WTF. 
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  

so what the hell happened? what did they take out and what method did they use? did you see the white light?
we need details!

Crikey! Catch me at the right moment and I'd even get an ear pierced.
 
Only one, 'cos pirates only have one earring. According to Charlie, who has a rubber cutlass and knows how to use it.
 
But still, I'd be in the market......
