Glad you're ok. My kid had gallstones a few years ago, it was horrible. they didn't get them all the first time when the gallbladder was removed so she went through it twice (surgery once, endoscopy 2nd time). It was rough, to say the least.
I was lucky, in that I had almost no side issues. Some of that has to do with having had gastric bypass surgery 25 years ago, but at 63 no surgery is fun.
It's all done laparascopically these days. I only have a couple of small scars. The big challenge is getting your diet adjusted afterward, but that's not really hard
My bad, I actually thought it said out of tune and not out of time!

Listen to the lyrics on these songs. The writer is a very eccentric performer, and the group has really polished the sound while keeping the original vibe together

If you dig this tuff you should also seek out their live performances on Youtube. They're great live
She’s gorgeous. I had an early lp and I was stunned by how contemporary she looked. It was like she was somebody you’d easily place as fasionable 60 years later.
Back when one of the nostalgia channels was running the Ed Sullivan show, she used to show up a lot. She was the daughter of a diplomat and spoke Spanish fluently, recorded in the language too
