  1. Had surgery on the 11th... I won't lie. It was not a good experience. Dr casually mentioned he nicked my liver... spend 2 days in a hotel room feeling like I was going to die the pain was so bad. Had a drain in. Passed some God awful used motor oil looking bile... thank God the drain was there for that... still feeling a little rough, it's slowly getting better. Watching for fever and praying for no leaks.
