Hi all, in one week 08/25 I’m getting my gallbladder removed. While I have someone to drive me to and from the hospital, no one will be coming home with me to help me recover. My family is telling me not to worry because they’ve heard gallbladder surgeries aren’t as bad as some surgeries, but I’m not convinced. I’m still recovering from a total thyroidectomy and neck dissection from 05/29 and i wouldn’t have survived that without assistance, so even if gallbladder removal isn’t as bad I’m still worried. My friend is also worried and is ready to come over and help me as needed, especially since i have pets, but I’m just wondering if anyone else has had to recover from surgery alone and help me know what I’m walking into next week. Thanks!
