Update on Sister In Law...
May. 8th, 2006 04:05 pm... Maria came home yesterday (I was working, alas).
She had appendicitis, so the appendix was removed. The doctor also looked at her gallbladder while she had Maria open, and notified her afterwards that there's something seriously wrong there,too. (Unfortunately, she would have had to give permission to remove it at that point, and as she was under general anaesthesia at the time there was no way to ask her...). The good news is that the gallbladder is fairly likely responsible for the OTHER major issues she's been having with her digestive tract, so they may actually solve that problem.
