Hello to all my wonderful, kind, thoughtful readers.
I am checking in...as CJ has let you know, I am now at home recuperating.
Tonight is my first night back on the computer.
I am taking things slowly. My doctor won't allow me to back to the office until I have my post-operative check-up in 2 weeks. So I'm stuck at home, doing some work from my computer and resting.
As you can imagine with my body feeling this way, I do not feel myself at all.
Therefore the energies I have poured onto this page will not be there for a while.
Please be patient. I promise, Debbie will be Dirty again.
Finally,
Thanks again for all your kind wishes and thoughts.
CJ told me about what people wrote while I was in the hospital and it really brightened my day.

Yep. RElax, get better, then dirty. Sounds good. Can't be dirty all the time, although sometimes I wish I could, I bet you do too.
Hey Storm, I'm trying, but I can't even be held close to CJ without it hurting yet...but I warned him tonight that when I am all healed up that we are making a 'date'...
yummy!
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is way, way better than the pain of gallstones. I once spent a week in the hospital with a gall bladder flare up. That was so awful. Debbie, I will show you my scars if you show me yours! :-)
Planning on pix of scars *and* actual gallstones (CJ had the surgeon save some).
And definetly the pain of a gallbladder flare up or gallbladder disease is 100 times worse compared to what I have to deal with now.
hope you are feeling better...and nevermind men like storm!!! geez storm, you know sometimes being on your back isn't a good thing!!

Desire X:
Many, many thanks, and yes I feel the healing power.
I have never felt so much poured out to me over the past couple of weeks, it humbles a being.
There is so much truth to the wheel of the universe...that what you give, comes back to you three-fold.
Hey! Sorry to hear you had to have your gallbladder out...and as emergency surgery no less! That stinks! Hope you are on the path to recovery quickly.
Hey! Just thought of something....we can't say "You've got a lot of gall"
anymore....wonder where that expression started?? :)
CJ here,
Strangly enough, it took me some time to figure this one out, as the phrasology of "it takes a lot of gall" is rare, so the etymology must be considered just of the word "gall".
This is what I found that most closely matches where the phrase comes from:
The trait of being rude and impertinent; inclined to take liberties [syn: crust, impertinence, impudence, insolence, cheekiness, freshness] v 1: become or make sore by or as if by rubbing [syn: chafe, fret] 2: irritate or vex; "It galls me that we lost the suit" [syn: irk]

The oldest sources are from the Christian Bible:
(1)
Heb. mererah, meaning "bitterness" (Job 16:13); i.e., the bile secreted in the liver. This word is also used of the poison of asps (20:14), and of the vitals, the seat of life.
(2)
Gr. chole (Matt. 27:34), the LXX. translation of the Hebrew rosh in Ps. 69; 21, which foretells our Lord's sufferings. The drink offered to our Lord was vinegar (made of light wine rendered acid, the common drink of Roman soldiers) "mingled with gall," or, according to Mark (15:23), "mingled with myrrh;" both expressions meaning the same thing, namely, that the vinegar was made bitter by the infusion of wormwood or some other bitter substance, usually given, according to a merciful custom, as an anodyne to those who were crucified, to render them insensible to pain.
Jesus, knowing this, refuses to drink it. He would take nothing to cloud his faculties or blunt the pain of dying. He chooses to suffer every element of woe in the bitter cup of agony given him by the Father (John 18:11).
So that's it kids!
Isn't he cute?
