Let’s Talk Medical, My Readers! Umm... Christian. 

(Said Slowly) Let’s Not.. Okay? 

That would be Greaaat.

Yes, I know. The Moment Someone says Something like “Let’s Talk Medical”, They would probably Run Screaming in a Horror Movie. Okay, Okay! Turn Off The Horror Movie Music for a Second! Cause It’s Not that Bad and Maybe It would Teach You something. 

(Heavy Breathing Trying to Calm) Okay so What do You mean then?! Well, This is More about Something Medical that I miss. Something that You Miss?! You would be Saying. 

Yes, I Miss Something Medical. If You Read On, You’ll Believe Me! So, Background Story First. Of Course.

For Those Not in The Loop at The Time. 

So, At The Risk of Sounding like My Mother, in December, During Christmas Time, Of Course! 

 I had A (Said Slow and Mockingly) A Cholecystectomy

Which is Basically A Gallbladder Removal.

(Mental Note Here: I meant The Above Sarcastically. But, with All Due Respect to Doctors. Why does Your Medical Speak have to so Complicated?! It sounds like a Foreign Language! )

Actually, It is basically Morphing Latin and Greek together. But, The Words literally morph together to from A Congealed Word that sounds like Chinese.

Anyway, If You want to Read More about The Event Itself: Refer to The Following Newsletters before Continuing on with Present Me.

Newsletter 929)

Of Course, A Brief Quote or Summery would suffice too:

(From The (Fun) of Recovery Newsletter) 

So, I should have Explained about The Following:

What The Frick is The Gallbladder and Why Does It Matter?

Honestly, I thought that The Gallbladder was One of Those Organs, like The Appendix or Tonsils, where It was Okay for It to be Removed. The Best Way, I am explain it in that, 

The Gallbladder is a Small Organ that acts sort of like 

The Gas Tank for The Bile (The Yellow Stuff that comes after Getting Sick so Much that There is Nothing in Your Stomach) from Your Liver to be Stored.

As I am Sounding like My Mother for a Minute,

 Basically, The Bile is what is Used to help Digest Food and Move the Poo in Your Intestines along. It also can Affect Mood and Several Other Things, but The Digestion and The Poo are The Most Important Parts of It’s Function.

So, Can You Live without It? Yes, You can. You just have to be Mindful about Eating Habits, like Not So Much Fried, Fatty Foods, and/or Junk Food. Luckily, I don’t eat that much of that anyway, with Chick Fil A (Lightly Fried Chicken) and My Favourite Food, Mac and Cheese being The Exception.

Now, The Things that They don’t tell about, is The Recovery from It. To Me (Before Surgery), Recovery meant, Time in The Recovery Room, then a Drive back Home while You are Very Loopy and Sleep it Off.

Recovery from Gallbladder Surgery, Try It hurting for a about A Week and A Half Every Time that You do The Following 

It Hurt everytime I did The Following: 

++ I Sat Up 

++ Coughed 

++ Gagged 

++ Yawn 

++ Hiccupped 

++ Moved Position (To Sleep) 

++ Walked Very Slowly (At Home) 

++ Trying to Figure Out What to Eat (Been a Struggle!)

And, Then, Those Things that are Personal but Happen after You have Mainly Recovered. 

Looking Down and Seeing The Slits (Aka Incisions) on Your Body; Fears of Medical Mishaps because Healing is Taking Longer than You thought; Fear of Going Back to The Hospital again; “Scar Tissue” that feels like Pressure on Your Belly.

(Back to Current Me Now)

So, with that Said, I’m going to Explain about Why I Miss A Medical Thing like A Gallbladder via A Letter to It that I am referring to as

 “Dear Gallbladder: I Miss You”. 

So, without Further a Due. 

This is My Letter to My Gallbladder (Ex-Gallbladder)

Dear Gallbadder,

I Realize Now Two Things. One is that You have been Gone for 7 Months Now and There Really is No Way to Replace You (Even Though There should be, like 3D Design) and Two, This is sort of like Writing a Letter to Your Ex who was like Your First Love and “The One that got Away” and You want Them Back! So, Yeah. This is Kind of like that.

Honestly, Dear Gallbladder, I did not Realize that such an Organ like Yourself (I’m a Real Flirt aren’t I) was so Important.

When The Doctor said that You basically Broke open and started Leaking, and Needed to be Removed, I thought (Keyword Here: Thought) that You are like a Tonsil or Appendix, Something of Little Importance.

Oh but, Honey, You are Quite Important! More Important than I realized. You are like The Literal Gas Tank of The Human Body and I let The Doctors removed like You were as My Friend, M.P Twinee would say “What am I? Sliced Liver?!” 

But, Your Not though! But, My Body has been having an Interesting Time to adjust to not Having You. 

It seems like Every Other Day, I have What I refer to a “Fatty Poo” (Basically Diarrhea that Floats more than Usual) Spoiler Alert! And TMI!

And, Also, I have this A Dull Pain on My Right Side that is either closer to My Belly Button and/or Up in My Mid-Body Section where The Big Intestine turns towards The Other Side of The Body where The Poo builds up and comes Out.

More Recently, I have been Gagging a lot recently and When I looked it up, It could the Fact that You are missing. It must be both Myself and My Body missing You. Now, I realize also, that I can’t bring You Back unless I want a 3D Gallbladder (Which is Very Risky!) or Go Back in Time and Figure Out a Way to Rescue You! I have Overthought It over and over. And, I can’t Rationalize Anyway that I could have Saved You! 

I just wonder Why You got so Bad to Break and Start Leaking. Whether It is was Medical or Spiritual. I just want You to Know that I miss You, Dear Gallbladder. I will never Forsake My Little “Gas Tank” of A Gallbladder again!

Love, The Body You Left

Christian Smith-Centeno

I Realize that was a Little Strange but, that is What I felt like Writing about This Week because some of 

The Effects of My (Missing) Gallbladder, affect My Health in Some ‘Round About Way. Now, Of Course, I’m not A Doctor but, I would suggest that You keep Your Gallbladder as much as You can! IF You can’t, like I did, then You have No Choice but, Keep It if You can! All in all, I Miss My Gallbladder as Weird as that Sounds! Always Love Your Organs because You don’t know if You are going to lose them! Have You Lost any Organs You Miss?

Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Love Your Organs Now! You Might Miss Them Later!
