Speedy recovery
- Thanks, it should be
  
  Caught the problem early enough so complications should be minimal
nice, now you're even more streamlined and efficient
- Not now though, there's some swelling
  
  In a week or so though...
  
  Bumps can improve aerodynamics in some designs
Also, yes, I was lucky enough that they prescribed me some percocet

I apologize in advance if I get weird
Oof, how did that happen?
- The story begins two weeks ago when I ended up in the ER when a gallstone apparently got lodged in my bile duct
  
  Second worst pain I ever felt, first being a kidney stone and third being the time I got shot with a crossbow
  
  But anyway, after some emesis and heavy drugging, they got me scanned and saw my gallbladder was chock full o' stones
  
  Jump ahead two weeks, that fucker is out of me
  
  That sounds generally unpleasant and I wish you a speedy recovery! My mum had her gallbladder removed due to cancer in the small intestine (she’s fine, hardly any complications at all, for intestinal cancer at least), thus the additional curiosity.
Same. Also my partner.
- The doctor was telling me that the gallbladder was basically vestigial and enjoyed me asking him if that meant he'd take my appendix and coccyx too
  
  Essentially, we've all joined the peak efficiency club
