The good news is that Mr Fixit has gallstones. The bad news is that Mr Fixit has gallstones. This is good news, as the suspicion was that it might have been cancer. The bad news is that he now has to have 2 operations to firstly remove some which have escaped from his gall bladder, then he will have to have his gall bladder out. It could have been so much worse though.

I'm glad/sorry to hear about Mr. Fixit's gall bladder. I hear from a friend that the surgery is not too awful. I hope he has a rapid recovery.
ReplyDeleteA prayer for a fast recovery for Mr Fixit!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad this is only gallstones! I know you are too. Take good care of him and I hope he's having his surgeries soon.
ReplyDeletePoor Mr Fixit, he's been in the wars. Give him our best and I hope he gets the surgery out the way soon so he can get on with getting better! At least you can draw a line under it when that's done. Take care of yourself too!
ReplyDeleteI hope the ops go well and Mr Fixit has a speedy recovery. At least you know what it is now so it won't be as worrying as it might have been. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI expect that the bad news is such good new as it not what was expected you don't mind, the gallbladder operation is not too bad i had it done a few years ago can they do both at the same time or one to be done then recover before doing the next wish him well & hope he soon be back to full healthy take care

That really is good news considering the alternative outcome. They'll be able to fix him up and he'll be back on his feet in no time at all. Take good care of him and give him my best wishes.
ReplyDeleteSue, that was not too bad at all. He just need TLC from you and he will be good as gold. My DH had his gallstones out and he is like a new man and much better to live with than before. Will be thinking of you - Big hugs to both - Nat
ReplyDeleteWishing Mr. Fixit a speedy recovery time! I know you will take great care of him!
ReplyDeleteSorry that Mr Fixit is suffering but I am glad that it's nothing too major. Sending you both my love

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Mr. Fixit. Once, when I went to see a friend who had had the surgery, I was surprised at her fast recovery. Hoping for same for him!
ReplyDeleteWell gallstones are better than cancer but still no treat esp. with having to have 2 operations. Hopefully things will go well and Mr. Fixit will be one the road to recovery soon.
ReplyDeleteBummer that some of the gallstones have got away. I had keyhole surgery for gallstones about 5 years ago. It's not bad at all - I was out the same day. I hope the other op goes well for him too.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your husband but it is good that you can look at the positive side of it. Hope he will be feeling better soon.
