Thankful Thought #12

Today I am thankful for modern medicine, a great surgeon, and pain pills. Orrin had his gallbladder removed and they were able to remove it laparoscopically. Yay! No large incisions. He has 4 small incisions in his tummy. He went into surgery at 12:00 and was out 45 minutes later. The surgery went great and Dr. Verner said that there was a good sized gall stone in his gallbladder but that it came out pretty easy. So he went into recovery and then we were able to leave the hospital by 2:45. I know that Orrin is going to hurt a bit but am glad that he'll have pain pills to help him feel better while recovering. I feel blessed to live in this day and age when all of these things are made available to us when needed. I continue to count my blessings!
