It was the less invasive procedure that DocICU described and he may go home tomorrow or Thursday.

Will look to post pics of bladder as soon as I can in Esoteric

Bob, hopefully they took his gallbladder and not his bladder or Tom's sex life would amount to one continuous golden shower.....lol.

The surgeon is likely describing the dreaded gangrenous gallbladder that could have perforated (had a hole in it for the infection to spread throughout his body) if left to fester much longer. Sounds like they got a diffcult decision done flawlessly as they didn't wait too long but gave the antibiotics enough time to make him a surgical candidate. Tom is obviously a lucky guy on this one as a perforated gallbladder is potentially life threatening.

He'll be his special self by the weekend.
