Renee, I'm so sorry you have to have the surgery...that's scary stuff. I had my gallbladder out nearly ten years ago now (pre-CRPS) but I remember that it was a really easy operation to recover from (laproscopally) with minimal post-op pain and very little scarring. I remember lying in the hospital bed wondering why it didn't hurt more! Obviously it's still surgical, but as operations go, hopefully it will all go ok and at least you won't have that terrible pain to deal with on top of your CRPS symptoms...

I will be thinking of you and hoping everything works out well for you. Take it easy for now.

Bram
