Get well soon, Ms. Annie! I had almost the same experience as yours po. I underwent emergency open cholycystectomy last Saturday afternoon. I was brought to the ER in the wee hours of Saturday morning and the hospital (in QC) did not allow me to go home anymore. It was my first time to actually confirm that I had a gallbladder problem. I was in the hospital for four days and am now continuing my recovery at home. I was in pain during the first two days post-op. It was very hard to move, breathe deeply, cough, more so to sit up or stand. But tama po ang sabi nila sa hospital, we’ll get stronger each day and the pain will gradually go away. This morning, I even had to go to the bank for a transaction. Basta suot ko lang po ang binder ko. No choice, I had to do it myself bec no one could run the errand for me. I’m sure you’ll be back on your feet in no time din po. God was looking after you each step of the way during your ordeal. Wishing you a speedy recovery and God bless you always.
