What was supposed to be a routine out-patient gall-bladder removal surgery yesterday ended up not being entirely routine. His gall-bladder was in worse shape than anticipated, and his surgeon had to ‘open him up’ in order to get it safely out of him. As a result, his recovery will be significantly more prolonged than everyone had been anticipating.
He appears to be doing as well as can be expected, and the doctors think they’ll be able to send him home in a couple days.
