How many hospitals does it take to remove my 1 gall bladder?
Answer-3. Late Friday afternoon, I went to my local emergency room at Bucktail Hospital, here in Renovo with terrible pains. They took blood, urine, vitals, poked my belly & said that it appeared to be a gall bladder problem, but they were going to have the ambulance take me to Lock Haven Hospital (about 28 miles away) for an ultrasound & then bring me back. After receiving some lovely Demerol, I took the ride to Lock Haven where they did the ultrasound, made some phone calls, & decided to send me to Jersey Shore Hospital (Not THE Jersey Shore, but Jersey Shore, Pa about another 15 miles.) Antibiotics & morphine by IV all night & operation at 9:00 Saturday morning. The nurses were great, I was a whimpering wimp. I was released Sunday morning about 10:30. I am now recovering at home with Charlie trying to tempt my appetite & 3 kitty nurses trying to give comfort. I'm actually quite amazed that I could feel so bad Saturday night & so much better this morning.
