My aunt went in on monday morning to get a stomach operation to help her lose weight. I think its a staple or a rubber band plus some surgery to the intestines. So, yeah... thats kinda scary, but shes doing alright. Of course shes in shitloads of pain, but she's not feverish or infected, and apparntly will heal well. Shes lucky because her daughter had the same operation, and its always good to have someone help you through stuff like that. She got home today from the hospital, and now begins her long recovery. Its just good that shes okay.
