No quilting today :( ....had to throw that in so that this post would be legal :lol:
Been there and done that about 2.5 years ago. I do feel sorry for her as pancreatitis is a really horrible thing to have.
If she had keyhole surgery, she will recover quite quickly. However, tell her to take her own time as the surgeons' estimate that I would be fully recovered in 7 - 10 days was way out.
Sadly, if it was not keyhole it does take much, much longer to get back to normal.
Once she is on the road to recovery, she will start to feel really great, but do tell her to watch the fats. Many of us that are missing a gall bladder have problems with metabolising fats.
Finally, your daughter is being well looked after and my experience was that my family and friends suffered more than I did.
We are rooting for her and you
