August 14, 2017 to the ER and to Surgery

After a wonderful trip to Brownie Lake to spend quality time with family, Lee started getting sick he was having pain in his right upper abdominal quadrant and we felt like maybe he had a bad gallbladder. 
So first we went to our family doctor she was great she ordered some labs and an ultrasound of his gallbladder.  Unfortunately to schedule the ultrasound took a week, before that time Lee was in enough pain that we just went to the ER at Dixie Regional Medical Center and he was taken to surgery that night.

Dr. Sutherland was the lucky surgeon on-call and took Lee's gallbladder out after surgery I was told that Lee had cirrhosis of the liver and that he should go to see a liver doctor.  Lee had to stay over night at the hospital and was able to come home the next morning.  Recovery went well he healed from surgery with  no complications.
