WOW... gallstone attack

KathleeninAK,
There's another Chef on here, chefboyardee65, who cooked in Wasilla, AK. Cooked for Sarah Palin & family when they came in.
I'll send him a PM and have him get in touch with you.
EDIT: Sorry, he's not accepting PM's

What the above has to do with gallstones is beyond me......but welcome to Roadfood KathleeninAK.  I will be more than happy to assist you with info for your show.  Let me know......but I can tell you this: Between Livengood and Deadhorse there is only one place to eat and it's the Hot Spot Cafe, just over the Yukon River Bridge.  There is a fuel stop in Coldfoot with some dining facilities, certainly not Roadfood.  There's nothing in Deadhorse except a post office and a general store with more porn magazines than Carhartts.  So that covers pretty much 1/2 of Alaska!

Well, here we are ending the third day in the hospital. Liquid diets are ok when you're not hungry, and on a drip. It was severely infected, so much so that for the first two days everyone who came in was remarking on it, and my surgeon sent out a biopsy because with that much infection it might have been cancerous.

Whatever, it's out.

Congratulations.  You are now officially a Conversation Piece.
 
Here's hoping you're back to 100% and on your feet soon.

Hi, Mosca.....  Glad that the procedure went well and that you will be back to 'normal' soon....  I hope that the biopsy results are good....  Take care and get better quickly.....

Tom,
Went thru the same with a gangerinous (sp?) gall bladder. Kind of a rough few days, but here I am today, and considering the alternative, I'm satisfied.
When I overdo the fats at a meal... too much Bacon, Heavy butter on the popcorn, or some othe dumb mistake ...Graetners ice cream will trigger it too, I can count on a quick reaction internally, and some quality bathroom time shortly.   So Sometimes I try to stick to the rules !.
 I hope you continue on the road to recovery !

Wow, three DAYS in the hospital?  I was barely in for three hours.  But yours was much more complicated than mine.  Hurry up and GET OUTTA THERE!  Hope you're feeling better soon.

Total, 5 days. Just got home catching up.

Good luck on the biopsy! I shall remain positive and assume it'll be negative. Good to hear you escaped the hospital, and should soon be feeling ever so much better without the stupid thing! Al's right about high-fat foods (I forgot about them, since we eat pretty low fat anyway), but they really aren't an issue for me even if I do go overboard on butter or bacon occasionally as long as I don't do it several days in a row. Not a problem here, though.

The biopsy was good, Felix, I didn't realize I'd implied he hadn't gotten it: thank you for the good vibes!
 
Dr Sayeed said my gall bladder hasn't been working for years, and told me to ease in slowly; if nothing bothers me, I can be confident it never will.

Well, excellent! Glad to hear you're in the clear!
 
That's pretty much what my surgeon said about food. "My dear, once I take your gall bladder out, it won't care what you eat." And yes, that is a direct quote. I loved him.
