Drinking Tequila

We had our company outing at Mantayupan Falls in Barili last June 3, 2012. It was a planned event as the company owner is scheduled to go back to Bend, Oregon, United States by June 11, 2012.

But bringing, buying and even drinking tequila was not part of the plan. It suddenly came into picture when my officemate suggested in buying a tequila when the van that the company rented stopped at a gasoline station in Gorordo Avenue. Then another officemate suggested to buy the tequila in Carcar City instead because we will be buying our food there.

When we reached Carcar City, the van parked at a gasoline station. My other officemates disembarked to buy food – chicharon baboy, lechon manok, and puso`. I also stepped out and went inside the gasoline station’s shop to check if they are selling tequila.

Gallbladder Post Surgery

Gallbladder Post Surgery

Hey there, I’m a first timer. It’s been two weeks since my operation and I’m wishing I could go back in time. In hindsight, I think they whipped my gallbladder out to quickly. I’ve been feeling pretty average and reading some terrible stories about people who suffer after surgery. My dad had his out about a year ago and he assures me it takes around six months for your body to adjust! I wish someone had of told me that. All I was told is that 90% of people tolerate it very well, but the more I read about anatomy the more I realize how important this little organ is. I guess it’s just a waiting game. I have had a year of feeling average with all the tests in the world and when they finally discovered that my gallbladder was a bit problematic I thought that this was the solution. Now I’m not so convinced. I stayed on a good diet for six months and didn’t improve dramatically. Well I guess I’ll be staying on an even stricter diet now and taking probiotics and what not. Going to the surgeon tomorrow to grill him as to why they whipped it out so quickly. Don’t put your life in doctors hands people. I wish I hadn’t of. I’d love some simple tips on how to deal with nausea, acid and getting past this initial period of feeling like hell. A simple diet I guess would be best? Time machine anyone?
