I'm having the staples taken out today. Woo!!

The hubby and I have endeavored to keep them clean, and the wounds themselves no longer bother me, except for the one right below and a little inside of the belly button. It makes it a little awkward in trying to figure out what to wear, because anything too itchy or too tight irritates the bloody hell out of the area.

That being said, I will still have 3 weeks after today before I can eat red meat or dairy again. :/...

Yep, it's official; I do have gall stones. I'm going to go talk to a surgeon on Thursday. Until then, I'm on a rather bland diet [baked chicken with few herbs, potatoes without butter or margerine, etc.]. I've also taken advice from this site and have begun drinking/eating flax seeds, which aren't that bad.

More to come later....
