Whoooooeeeeee those can be painful, you're right Mrs Starkers, what a way to spend his Birthday, man I hope there is no infection or anything, and that he can pass them, with a maybe a bit of help from an ultrasound break up of the stones, otherwise they have to take them out hey, surgically and thats not nice.....Mrs Starkers me and my whole family are praying for him that this passes as quickly as possible for him and he is up and about in no time....that card you made for him should help Ha Ha Ha Ha you tell him we're rooting fro him Mrs Starkers, he is a good bloke and this sucks, but he is an old sea dog and tough as they come...all the best Mrs Starkers, all the best from the Thugs

Yeah, mate....wish I was there to really do something for you...

But the truth is....when you're sick, not much is funny.

Still...an old sea dog is tough to keep down....so try to cheer up...and always remember the difference between the oral and 'other' thermometer....(the taste).

I hope you get your sea legs back quickly, Cap'n. The S.S. Wincustomize might as well be in drydock without the Captain aboard.  I send best wishes and our prayers to both you and the mrs.Take care of yourself and see you back in the forums soon.

Yikes!  I know what he's going through, I had a gall bladder attack (twice) in August of 2008 and it hurt like "h#^ll"! They finally took it out after the second attack.  Only problem is now I cannot eat any of my favorite foods (anything with fatty content is out)!  No hamburgers, no french fires, no fried chicken, no nothing fried! 

I hope he gets to feeling better soon!

 Aw damn MsShaunna, hate to hear that.

Man, just had a birthday too!  Geez!

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery!

Hope you get well soon, Capt'n!

Get Well SOON!!!

The problem with getting older is just what Starkers is experiencing, unfortunately there isn't much to be done but seek the appropriate help.

Getting well wishes from the community can't and won't hurt, so here's hoping you get better soon Starkers.

Hope you get well soon, Captain!

Miss ya fer sure.........Get Well real quick Cap'n!

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes and concern, it is much appreciated.  This is one heck of a community and I am proud to call each and every one of you friend... you're a great bunch of people and I'm so glad you're all here.

I'm also grateful for the funnies and humour.  Fortunately there are no referral pains from my gall bladder to my funny bone, so I'm still able to laugh and enjoy a bit of fun.  Like they say, laughter is the best medicine, so I'm most fortunate to have such a great bunch of people contributing to my merriment during this rather uncomfortable time.

After spending almost 3 years in the very same hospital back in the 70's, I didn't want to spend a minute longer there than I had to, so I was more than happy to come home when it had all settled down and they said I could go.  However, the amazing Doc rang me last night with some important info and I shall be heading back there a little later today... probably for a few days to get this thing sorted once and for all.  It isn't going to go away on its own, and it does flare up from time to time, so I'm probably looking at an op to fix it.

I must say a special thank you to you, Doc, your call last night really helped a lot and I appreciate the info you provided ... not to mention the laughs at a time when I needed them a lot.  Why is it that illness always seems worst at night?  Yup, your call helped pass some time when my pain and discomfort wasn't the best, so for that, many, many thanks... you're a legend, my friend.

Again, thank you to all for the well wishes... you folks are great and a sterling bunch. 

Not sure about Gall stones....but I know very intimately about kidney stones!  All I can say is I'd rather give birth!  

Hang in there bud!
