there have to be better ways to lose weight

so the operation ran from around noon to 3:30 or so (minus however long the preop stuff took). It seems to have gone okay apart from the fact that for some reason they weren't quite able to be completely laproscopic about it and thus had to make a nontrivial incision, which I guess means the recovery won't be quite as fast as it was when she had her gall bladder out, but we'll see --- note that I haven't actually seen/met the doctor yet, nor has anyone been very specific about how long she'll need to stay, but then I suppose they never are as a matter of principle.

Tonight's dinner: popsicles.

I didn't know they could remove the appendix via laparascopy.

They sometimes can, if it hasn't burst.

Whew, thanks for the update. More hugs to emma.

Also, for popsicles to be dinner, you have to eat a vitamin pill along with them.

There was, I shit you not, a GASP OF HORROR when Mary Ann announced that Emma was in the hospital having her appendix out. She is deeply missed.

Thanks likewise. Sorry to hear that emma's recovery will be longer, and I hope there are no further hitches!

YAY! POPSICLES!

<snugs> I hope everybody recovers quickly. Pip must be very confused. Let me know if you get sick of ordering in, I'll invite you over for chicken in stuff. ^_^
