I have bittersweet feelings of letting go of my gallbladder. I recently found out that I have gallstones and need to have my gallbladder removed. While I have not had an official "gallbladder attack," I have had many symptoms that suggest removal will be beneficial. Although I hate surgery (my bitter feelings), I know that it's removal will relieve many of my sypmtoms (my sweet feelings) I have been experiencing for probably years now and my diabetes will also likely benefit...So, tomorrow, I say goodbye to an unnecessary organ in my body and hope that recovery is short and pain-free. Dr. Klenda assures me that I will not be down long and that I can soon begin training again for my upcoming triathlon. 55 short days until the big event!
I have started my brick workouts-two events a day (i.e. run 5K and bike 6 miles or run 2 miles and swim 1/2 mile). I am getting through them, but need to kick it up a notch to push myself. I am starting to get nervous about the swim portion. Thinking I need a swim coach to get me on the right track here. My freestyle needs some major improving before I race. Anyone know of a good one?!
Next time I write, I will be down an organ, but hopefully feeling much better than I currently do! Say a little prayer that all goes well tomorrow!
