So sorry it was an emergency situation and that the surgery went on for so long.
The misdiagnosis in the ER happened to my father-in-law, too. I told my husband before he went to the ER, it
Is his gall bladder. They misdiagnosed him with something else, can't remember what. They sent him home, he had another massive attack, I said again that it was his GB, and this time they finally got it right and removed his infected GB before he had real trouble.
I am so glad you insisted on the sonogram.
I wish you a speedy recovery, and keep us posted on your progress.
Were they able to do you laparoscopically?

It's too bad you had to make your own diagnosis! Glad they finally listened to you and got you under control. Good luck and have a speedy recovery.
About the morphine, I don't remember ever getting any of that, but in my recent hospital stay I got the Michael Jackson drug, Propofol. Some call it milk of amnesia, and I agree.
I know that morphine is for pain, and the propofol is for sedation, but I guess my point in mentioning it is that it's great we have drugs like this available when needed.
