I hate to tell you all this but this is not an easy gall bladder surgery. His pancreatitis and illness makes it high risk with a high mortality. He is not out of the woods.

The gall bladder is a storage area for bile, which the liver makes.Then it's only a necessary organ for Democrats, eh?

Lib-dems have no functioning brains, and they seem to be doing okay (unfortunately).
My Dad had his removed in the 60s and is a strong 81 and doing just fine. He has a 8" scar across his lower stomach; now they can do it with a 1" incision, or so.

That is probably why they've had him on antibiotics since Friday, right? They are worried about complications.
To: fatrat
Wow, that is an incredible amount of pain... poor Mr. Ashcroft :(

I'm sure they feel he is stable. Otherwise they would wait for the surgery, I would think.

Remember Reagan's great quip just before the docs operated after he was shot?

Can you live without a gallbladder?I'll ask my Mom and three of my sisters if they're dead yet.

Anybody know what the recovery time for something will be for this kind of illness/operation? Even if (Lord willing) he pulls through the surgery, will he at his age have to take it easy and perhaps retire as AG?
To: John123
Yep. Several of my friends have had their gallbladders removed and live a normal life.
